Many users are saying that. Shipped should be pretty much at 20 million now. I think they should play hardball.
MS said there are approaching 10 million units shipped. And the media just went bonkers saying X1 is almost caught up now!?
The fook is this? Last known sell-through for X1 was like 6 million lol?

That's very very very unlikely. For 40 mil at the end of this year, they'll have to sell 21.5 mil this year which 50% more than last year sales (14.3 mil).

Yeah, because wining a month is better than wining all year, right?
I'm trying to cut sodium from my diet but I keep seeing these posts in the threads I visit.
If you feel your PS4 while it's running, you'd know they are one in the same.
Who knows? Both companies are being weird with their PR lately. For Nov NPD I expected MS to shout from the hills that they had won the month. Instead their PR was so subdued that you almost would have thought they'd lost again...

Where is that fricking chart?
Good news for gamers. Hopefully the 2015 lineup will boost it further.

Wow 18.5 is a huge number
Ah, have to agree to disagree tho, I think MS will do enough to push it to around 50m when all is said and done. Sitting at 10 - 12m shipped after 1 years isn't bad.

Nah, not really. Just filling a niche.
Breaking kayfabe, it's pretty astounding how the PS4's sold so far. 2015 is filled with promise, so long as Sony keeps the momentum going.
Because of 18,4 million people like you. It all your fault. Think about it.
Clearly they're trying to get ahead of this blockbuster XBox One avatar/Kinect team/Slingbox TV news.

Neither system is getting close to 100m without dropping under $150.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

i'm gonna be honest with this one, most of the success is coming from people just want to upgrade. ps4 has great games though, it's just they are available on every console.

I think about even if Sony shipped another mil and half to retailers already. Wii did 20 million first year.

Looking back I found a press release saying they sold 30 million software in mid August. They more than doubled that in 4 and 1/2 months. The holidays are certainly amazing even if it's including Destiny, CoD and GTA.

I actually almost created a new thread to ask this the other day but I figured I would wait for NPD data. But since this is posted, maybe I should just ask now. For the sake of comparison, what is the most recent estimate for worldwide XBO sales?

Sony be pimping
Without a price cut this fall (or even summer) I don't see them being able to sell 40mill this year.
That said well done to Sony for 18.5mill

If they drop to $299 this year it's possible. Still a stretch, but possible.
I think it's different, in this case: there's Sony CES Conference soon, and they will probably talk about PlayStation as well.
Actually, I was expecting the announcement to be made there, honestly.
Tesco are currently selling a standalone PS4 for 329.99, which equates to $501USD.
They have a huge amount of space to discount in pretty much every market outside the US and still take profit I reckon.
Also - I think Fergal has some uber-bonus scheme if he can maintain market lead in the UK so he's ON that shit.
OT: 1.423mn units per month since launch. FWIW the PS4 outsold the iPad in year one.

I understand the sentiment, and my PS4 doesn't see much usage these days, either, but it's already got a pretty amazing library if you don't own a PC.

So with all the hullabaloo about xb1 catching up, does this bring any figures to light of how the situation looks for NA and the UK?
Imagine how many will sell when there's actually more than a few worthwhile games on the system.
Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to three years from now when this thing will have a crazy high install base and when developers will really put the system through its paces. It's a good time to like video games.
I kid.

They obviously didn't need to

Who cares about a month of NPD's when they are doubling up the Xbox One worldwide.

Sure. It has tons of multiplats. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have great games. It does. It even has some pretty solid first party titles. The point is that the "no games" narrative is tired and stupid.
Why? What is this... :/
