Good VGC tracking, props!

How much did Sony initially project for the fiscal year? Like 5,5 for March 31st?

It was 5 million for March the 31st so they've already beaten it.


Yeah, with 50 days of sales to go, and Japan launch. I think it will be around 7.5m for march 31st.

Yup, 7.5m is what I'm thinking as well :)

The sales trajectory is ridiculous compared to Wii U.


You are forgetting that those Wii U numbers are SHIPPED, PS4 numbers are SOLD THROUGH=SOLD TO CUSTOMERS

VGC tracking pretty good Sony's systems at least.



I remember they did well wit the the ps3 in its mid term. If occassionally Console manufacturers and publishers would give them some of thirer sales data,

they would be the npd for the gaming industry.  Well done Vgchartz.

Once the playstation4 exclusives start raining in on a consistent basis around years 2-3 the sales are going to skyrocket. There's a lot of people I know who want a PS4 but are holding off staying in generation 7 until the games start coming for gen 8.

Lame. Why not wait and announce a nice round number after the Japan launch?

Because two positive news releases are better than one?

By that logic they should release one every week. With a finger pointing gif and an X1 logo next to it.

it has higher impact to wait for large differences, here the logic is being able to show a large difference in sold through figures over a small time frame, as a week from now they can release another announcement stating anything from 5.7-6m sold through, possibly even more if they have been stocking up in Japan, what people then see is "wow it went from 5.3m to 6m in a week" rather than "oh they had a big launch", people generally focus on raw numbers rather than the reason behind them.


Ps4 is crushing XB1 w/o Japan. I think that is what they are so eager to point out. Once Japan is added on it will be a massacre. I honestly think PS4 will have a 50%(WiiU+XB1=PS4) marketshare before the holidays if not it will be close.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

its good sony is giving out numbers from time to time. I recall in these forums in december, some users claimed the ps4 was overtracked by alot because of how well it was outselling the competition. they even claimed that Sony said they could only produce 5 million before the end of the fiscal year or so. the official numbers from sony helped to silence the doubters lol. keep em coming Sony.
