Nope. Almost 7m in the US, 1m in Japan and 10m in Europe? Which leaves the rest of the world with 500k? PS4 has been confirmed to be selling a lot more than any console has ever done in the rest of the world so that's pretty much impossible. Should be more like almost 7m US, ~8.5m Europe, 1m Japan, 2m ROW

We almost never get any information on ROTW, so there's no real basis to go by.

 

[Markitron]

I'm starting to think Uncharted 4 may outsell Halo 5

lol

No way man .

Oh yes it will, by a ton.

Starting?

It was obvious.

Not gonna happen.

Highly doubt it, but it's pretty crazy that these are comparable now sales-wise

I think 1st party games from Sony will just see a huge boost in sale in general. We saw this with MS and its first party games due to having a bigger install base during the last gen. Im getting the feeling U4 may not be the last uncharted once Sony looks at the numbers they will definitely get this gen.

I would bet on it.

Looks like an even split. Interesting, thought I was being a bit controversial tbh.

 

[Nubian Star]

Just wait until they add Folding@home

 

[Can Crusher]

Looks like an even split so far

Denial ain't but the 1st stage playboy.

 

[King_Moc]

Should have known this would annoy some of the resident fanboys. Let the salt flow through you.

Great sales so far.

Read the post my quote was in reply to. I was commenting on the Wii U's low sales considering the quality of it's library.

 

[Corto]

Just wait until they add Folding@home

And Linux support.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Wow 18.5 was my guess for sold through by the beginning of January.

And now comes the deluge of software throughout 2015. I'm going to go ahead and guess a cool 25 million sold in 2015.

By the time Uncharted hits it could be close to 40 million consoles out there. Should make for a fun holiday season

 

[Shredderi]

Ps4 has done very well by sony then. Good.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

The crazy amount of good press that Sony got with the launch of the PS4 really helped this console sell shit tons, good job Sony.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Awesome numbers. What were some of the [serious] WW total predictions post holiday?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Fantastic numbers. Very likely they'll be over 30 million by the end of the year.

Will be 30 million by the end of summer at this rate...

 

[KillGore]

The Return of the King

Love this GIF

 

[Skux]

Stunner.

 

[Xando]

what are the current xbox one numbers?

Almost 15 million.

Spoiler

Probably ~10 million maybe less depending on WW performance.

 

[serversurfer]

Well if you call 2:1 PS2 like then I guess you're right. I just don't think 100m vs 50m~ is the same as 155m vs 24m.

What if after four years and ~20M sales, MS pull the plug on the XB3 just like they did the XB1? Keep in mind that the US and UK are really the only viable markets for XB3 at this point. I'd be surprised if they combined for much for than 5M/year from here on out. Even that seems a bit optimistic.

On that same note, two-thirds of lifetime XB1 sales (16M of 24M total) came from NA. 25% (6M) came from Europe, but I don't think they're doing as well there this time.

 

[RayMaker]

The PS4 has had an amazing first year, Andrew house and co will feel like the wolf of wallstreet, that would make some great gifs,lol.

 

[DSN2K]

Sony did a fantastic job with marketing the PS4 at pre launch and its held pretty much. They were also massively helped by the train wreck what was the Xbox One pre launch.

 

[Corto]

By the end of the generation Playstation Plus will be a multibillion business for Sony. Craziness. And they owe it all to Microsoft for making it palatable for the consumer to pay for online last generation.

 

[Valentus]

That's insane.

Still 2:1 ratio worldwide?

 

[darkside31337]

Honestly don't think software really matters all that much when it comes to hardware sales this year. Do people really think Bloodborne or The Order are going to move that many systems? Uncharted will be the only game that can make an impact on that kind of scale.

The third party stuff is what primarily moved 360s over PS3s last gen and I feel like Sony realized that too, they aren't churning out first party games like they did last gen and really had a focused push on making sure that the PS4 was where you went for the biggest third party games. That and realizing how much money they left on the table by not making PS+ mandatory like XBL Gold last gen seemed to be the two things they really wanted to correct the most.

 

[Moze]

Take note Nintendo, this is what great hardware at a great price and caring about your fanbase gets you.

I can't speak for everybody, but i'm a very happy Nintendo customer. I don't see why you have to attack Nintendo in a thread about PS4 sales.

 

[Jburton]

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

Its only talking about PS4 in relation to those numbers.

Its over 50%.

 

[Welfare]

That's insane.

Still 2:1 ratio worldwide?

Compared to the One? Doubt it. It should be over 10 million now, and not 9.25 million.

 

[Lion Heart]

Well deserved, the consumers are probably enjoying the console as well unlike the Wii.

2015 should be a great year, hope Sony goes aggressive with pricecuts and pursuing Japanese devs.

 

[Nightengale]

Compared to the One? Doubt it. It should be over 10 million now, and not 9.25 million.

Shipped vs Sold through though.

You can't be serious -_-

I'm starting to think Uncharted 4 may outsell Halo 5

Worldwide? Easily.
USA? Probably not.

They won't hurt though. They help maintaining this momentum.

 

[RexNovis]

So there are more PS+ subscribers then Xbones sold through?

HAH!! Is this true?!? That can't be right.

 

[Welfare]

Shipped vs Sold through though.

Wat

18.5 million is sold through

HAH!! Is this true?!? That can't be right.

PS+ is also on Vita and PS3.

 

[harrisk954]

Does anyone know if the Xbox One sales of 10 million that was announced recently was sold through or shipped? Just wondering what the sold to consumers difference is between the PS4 and Xbox One.

 

[vesvci]

Fantastic numbers. Very likely they'll be over 30 million by the end of the year.

Very, very likely...specially with the killer '15 lineup. Besides Halo 5, all my gaming money is easily going into the PS4.

 

[Game4life]

I'm starting to think Uncharted 4 may outsell Halo 5

It will outsell Gears handily but no it wont outsell Halo.

 

[On Demand]

And the gap continues to grow. That TR deal is looking more and more stupid everytime Sony announces PS4 sales.

 

[mazpratim]

Well deserved, the consumers are probably enjoying the console as well unlike the Wii.

Contrary to GAF saltiness, most Wii owners enjoyed the system

Shipped

Shipped IIRC

 

[I-hate-u]

That PSplus sales number is whats the megaton here. Locking MP was the easiest evil announcement sony got away with two years ago.

 

[nynt9]

iirc it was "approaching 10m shipped" but I might be wrong

 

[friskykillface]

To sell that much without the "big" guns (imo of course) is huge, when uncharted 4 comes out D:
We were hongry for next gen

I have 2 of those 18.5 million PS4 :3

 

[Duxxy3]

Contrary to GAF saltiness, most Wii owners enjoyed the system

I sold my launch Wii after 6 months

Spoiler

for a nice profit

 

[Floridian]

Well deserved, the consumers are probably enjoying the console as well unlike the Wii.

What's with the nintendo bashing here? The games definitely kept me satisfied last gen.

 

[Occam]

By the end of the generation Playstation Plus will be a multibillion business for Sony. Craziness. And they owe it all to Microsoft for making it palatable for the consumer to pay for online last generation.

I am still peeved that they put a paywall in front of online gaming, which should really be free. Thanks Microsoft, I guess.
(I do have a PS+ subscription, but mainly because the games are excellent value for money.)

 

[Pankratous]

Kaz Hirai just confirmed this figure at CES.

 

[Dinjooh]

Kazuo Hirai just confirmed that it's sold through, in case there was any doubt.

 

[RM8]

What's with the nintendo bashing here? The games definitely kept me satisfied last gen.

Wii caused a very weird kind of console-war PTSD.

 

[SteveO1683]

Kaz is starting to talk about these numbers now at CES. It will probably just be about numbers but hopefully something cool gets announced.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

People saying Uncharted won't sell more than Halo...

If just half of PS4 owners buy Uncharted, going by the numbers we have, ALL XB1 owners would have to buy Halo to sell as much. All of them.

Come on now...

 

[Jomjom]

It is an interesting point. I'm certain gaming has grown significantly since 2006 regardless. I'd guess that as more good games hit the machine there will be a lot more sales than we have seen thus far on all platforms

Yeah but I would say most of the growth has been in the mobile space as more and more powerful smartphones have come out. I'd even say that at least some of that growth has been to the detriment of game consoles as some gamers move from owning consoles to just playing games on their phones. This wasn't much of an issue in 2006.
