Now deliver games, and by that I mean games that would only work on the current platforms. It's pretty obvious that the tranasition from ps3 to 4 has now gone into overdrive.

X360:
10.4 million
PS3:
10.4 million (launched half year later in EU than in US and Japan though)
Not to mention these both numbers are shipped numbers while these PS4 numbers are sell trough. Shipments should be near 20 million already. So pretty much as much as PS3 and X360 combined.
People shouldn't forget that The world doesn't only consist of US and EU. Some emerging markets are emerging just fine 
This is a thing because most gaming sites are US based.
Both.

Amazing how playing it safe won this generation. The rest just blundered straight out of the gate.
We'll see how much software it has in 2015.

More like they compiled all the data on their first day back to work after the holidays. NPD is almost 2 weeks away.
Dec 31 2006 - Dec 31 2007 the Wii sold 20.14m

Retail. Lots of Wii Us and Xbones, though.
Jebus, hardware-wise I think it's well deserved of Sony, and come 2015 it's going to have a great library of exclusives.
I don't buy into the "It's going to be the next PS2" hype, but it's gonna be a strong ass system nonetheless.
I think what matters to them is that they make a profit, not that they beat Sony.

Haven't you seen the listz? There are actually a boatload of titles scheduled for '15. If even 2/3rds of those titles make release, it's gonna be a packed year.

Depends on if MS makes their holiday pricecut permanent at some point. I think Sony will do a pricecut around the holidays for sure.

I suppose. But do you see that Gif from gametrailers showing Ps2's utter dominance in Gen 6?
While I doubt they get quite THAT dominance again, they can come close with aggressive pricing. Stealing a lot of the potential Xbox One install base would mean you have millions more buying Ps4 games.
As it stands now, I predict a 55/35/10 generation (Ps4/X1/WiiU), which is great for Sony but I think they could totally take up to 60% or more market share if they got aggressive.
All this before any really good exclusives have come out too. Crazy.

Man, I was thinking they'd be lucky to "survive" 2014.
Look at that 2015 lineup. They are gonna move a fuckload of systems.

Yeah, and I want to see what was the situation, both in terms of software numbers and tie-ratios, for other consoles at the same time after the release, so we get a fair comparison.

Assuming that butchers job of a translation means that there are 10.9 million PS+ subscribers...
This is a terrible result.
PS+ is without a doubt the best gaming proposition in the history of mankind, and to only have 10% of your PS3 & PS4 user base on it is embarrassing, for both Sony & humanity in general

It really depends on sales, they may do approaching Christmas but it's quite possible they won't need to drop the price. Unless they're forced to do otherwise by poor sales they'll probably just throw some extra stuff inside the box and keep the price and keep raking in the profits.

Insane numbers
The Wii was a major anomaly as far as console sales are concerned, we shall likely never see the likes of it again, unless another console hits that has the draw to bring in the number of non-gamers that the Wii did at the time.
Regardless, comparing any LTD sales a year out to the Wii is a useless statistic.
Haha at "playing it safe," just give me a box that plays great games, no extra flimflam and at a reasonable price and I am sold in the long run.
And there is no worries software wise, for me at least (on all consoles).
Pretty much the same thing in the Wii's case.

During that time it was basically shipped = sold.

European sales must be enormous. Over 10 million.
Is there a particularly big difference in the case of the Wii? It was supply constrained like crazy, 99% of those 20 million shipped were sold through.

Unbelievable the damage a PR mistep by MS has caused and a great job my Sony correcting the mistakes of early PS3 era.

NPD dont mean shit with these numbers.
