Support NeoGAF

[xorx]

Downwell is Japanese, although it has a western publisher. There aren't a lot of Japanese indie games.

Did not know Downwell is Japanese. I always assume Devolver games are made by American/ European devs. Thanks for the info.

 

[HooYaH]

Uncharted 4 sold 5 million?
Neo coming next week?
Price drop to 300$?

Nah, it's going to be the annual PS4 theater E3 invite.

 

[darkwing]

PS4 is a beast

 

[Spring Drive]

Return of the King?

 

[Sjefen]

Nah, it's going to be the annual PS4 theater E3 invite.

lets see

 

[Daante]

Happy for the success Sony is having with the PS4.
They totally deserve it, and im a happy owner of the console.

 

[VLiberty]

Attach rate of 6.77 games per console.

Isn't this incredibly low for a home system? Like that's almost handheld levels

 

[bombshell]

Nah, it's going to be the annual PS4 theater E3 invite.

Oh, that's a good and reasonable guess.

Isn't this incredibly low for a home system? Like that's almost handheld levels

I think it's pretty damn high as an average 2½ years into a generation.

 

[I-hate-u]

RIP Persona and Horizon in 2016.

 

[Nightengale]

Isn't this incredibly low for a home system? Like that's almost handheld levels

Nah. Majority of gamers buy few games

 

[Fdkn]

Isn't this incredibly low for a home system? Like that's almost handheld levels

attach rate grows with time. PS4 is less than 3 years old

 

[jbluzb]

No persona 5 ahhhhhh....

 

[Asd202]

Maybe no Persona 5 because it's also on PS3?

 

[Hanmik]

lol.. check out the gif gamespot used to promote their article on Twitter..

[Pancakes R Us]

Remember when consoles were dead and PS4 would flop because the WiiU was selling like shit? Good times.

Yep. Nintendo crazies, mainly, I think.

 

[Deadly Joker]

I'am just hoping the NEO can keep this momentum and not kill it dead.

Is there any speculative release month for NEO? I'd guess November.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Isn't this incredibly low for a home system? Like that's almost handheld levels

No, as the attach rate grows over time. For example, last year its attach rate in January was 4.4, now it's at 6.77. The Wii's final attach rate was 8.84.

 

[Blastoise]

I need dem graphs

 

[Mpl90]

Ah, right. Do we have a list with all the sell-through announcements from Sony?

Ok, finding them by myself

2.1 millions as of December 1st, 2013
4.2 millions as of December 28th, 2013 | 9.7 millions software | Tie ratio: 2.31
5.3 millions as of February 8th, 2014
6 millions as of March 2nd, 2014 | 13.7 millions software | Tie ratio: 2.28
7 millions as of April 6th, 2014 | 20.5 millions software | Tie ratio: 2.93

[Dragon Puncher]

Only compared to Nintendo consoles, it's a lot better than the ps3 attach rate.

 

[Respawn]

The machine just keeps on going.

 

[watdaeff4]

Attach rate of 6.77 games per console.

ok, just curious - how does that compare to other consoles this and previous gens?

Meanwhile - good job Sony.

 

[Fady K]

 

[KZObsessed]

60 million shipped by next march if they hit their targets.

~70million before Xbox Two arrives.

RIP PS4

 

[Slixshot]

Great! Now let's throw a fork in the road with Neo!

 

[IvanJ]

What's with Sony releasing all these nonsense sell-through figures?
Are they just trying to divert attention away from potentially poor MAU?

#Globalengagementdomination

 

[stryke]

Whats the YTD for NPD?

 

[Guymelef]

What is NPD LTD?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

All games listed for the rest of the year are Japanese. Makes for an interesting line-up.

 

[Mpl90]

Whats the YTD for NPD?

Around 1,141,000 as of April 2016.

What is NPD LTD?

Around 13,565,000 as of April 2016.

Considering how these are sales up to April, while the sell-through announcement is up to May 22nd, 2016, this means that US account for, at least, 27.83% of worldwide YTD sales and at least 33.91%

 

[Zombie James]

60 million shipped by next march if they hit their targets.

~70million before Xbox Two arrives.

RIP PS4

Funny enough, wasn't the PSX at that 60-70M point when the PS2 was announced? My memory is hazy.

 

[Milly Osworth]

40 millon suckers that soon will play the low res versions of games 👹

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

damn, well done.

i love my PS4. thanks sony. can't wait for the Neo!

 

[Sjefen]

40 millon suckers that soon will play the low res versions of games 👹

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I wonder if this is the year the ps4 outsells the 3ds in terms of both hardware and software

It's only 4 million behind in terms of software

 

[Omnistalgic]

Basically another 11 months to ship 20 million more units.

VR
GTS
Neo
Price-drop
Strong Software and Holiday Sales

yeah...probably will hit the mark.

 

[Javin98]

Yep, many of us were predicting the PS4 would hit 40 million sold through around Uncharted 4's launch.

 

[Daft Punk]

Great! Now let's throw a fork in the road with Neo!

More like adding a first class section to a plane. Everyone still gets to the same place, but for a little extra, you can get there in style.

 

[sense]

More like adding a first class section to a plane. Everyone still gets to the same place, but for a little extra, you can get there in style.

That is actually a pretty good analogy.

 

[xtwo]

Return of the BEAST?

Fixed it for you

 

[Markoman]

That is actually a pretty good analogy.

Well, if you bend the rules of physics a little, it could go this way: The Eco passenger experiencing turbulence while the business class passenger doesn't.

 

[Sum-Mischief]

Yeah Sony made all the right moves. I believe the future look even brighter.

 

[Renekton]

More like adding a first class section to a plane. Everyone still gets to the same place, but for a little extra, you can get there in style.

Tho both still sit in the old 747 (Jaguar CPU) instead of a Dreamliner.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Start of the year.

https://www.sie.com/en/corporate/release/2016/160105.html

selling just shy of million a month in some of the quietest months of the year, moving your price back up to $349 after holiday sales in the US is pretty impressive.

 

[sense]

Well, if you bend the rules of physics a little, it could go this way: The Eco passenger experiencing turbulence while the business class passenger doesn't.

Going further with this, Business class passengers boarding the plane first could mean timed exclusives but that likely won't happen in this case

 

[crinale]

The PS4 system is currently available in 124 countries and regions worldwide.

This is one of big reasons PS4 is so successful. Good job Sony.

 

[Boke1879]

Probably something like 55 million by years end. 60 million by next March and like 70-75 million by next fall. Crazy. They'll make sure they hit those margins.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Great stuff.

I can't wait for GR2 and TLG!

 

[KillerMan91]

I wonder if this is the year the ps4 outsells the 3ds in terms of both hardware and software

It's only 4 million behind in terms of software

It will pass 3DS in software sales by next quarter more like. In hardware it will take still some time (sometime in 2017)

 

[On Demand]

That's a million sold a month since January. Europe is really huge for PS.
