Well.. To be fair.. Nobody (MS & Sony) have yet to release any new numbers since Sony announced the 7 mil thing back in April.. So numbers could be right.. We really have nothing to rely on except VG and it's estimates.

Also NPD, MCVUK, and Japan's tracking. Which are the biggest markets. And Sony has said that they are supply constrained for the rest of Europe.

OT: Unless it's said by Sony, I don't believe it.

For VGChartz 8,200,000.
Maybe the 9,000,000 is distributed.

Yea considering, like you said, last we heard officially was 7 million for PS4 in April, I could easily see 9 million 3 months later. That's a slow down from the 1 million a month it was selling but understandable.

Yea.. I've yet to figure out VG's tracking methods.. VG tries to do an admirable job, but its basically still estimates, so their figures could be off (which we know happens quite often).. An additional 2 mil in 3 months do sound realistic enough given how well the ps4 was/still is selling..

Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

OT: Unless it's said by Sony, I don't believe it.

But that's basically tracking numbers for mainly 3 markets.. Even if the rest of Europe is still supply constrained, there could be enough sales there that pushed the WW numbers.. Also, unless other countries the ps4 sells in are releasing sales figures.. There could be gaps in what's actually tracked here on VG to official numbers held by Sony.

Lastly, Sony could be waiting for the 10 mil mark to announce official figures for all we know.. At the moment 9 mil does seem plausible given even VG has em at the estimated 8.2 mil mark.

*edit.. Just thought about it, but how close were VGs tracking numbers to official released numbers at the time of sales announcement? Just wondering.

Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

Well the PS4 is still selling like hot pancakes, even with releases of other games like Titanfall , Mario kart 8, still PS4 has been unstoppable so 9 million I can easily guarantee it.

Can you now?

Why do you appear the moment anyone in ANY thread mentioned mario kart 8, its as if you search for the term every few hours.

It wouldn't surprise me if true, especially with how well the PS4 is selling in EU. And given the US numbers AND low sales in EU, it's easy to see that the One's number is shipped. It also wouldn't surprise me if VGC has it slightly overtracked and MS has maintained a 1M sales vs shipped gap.

Cuz im magical and have MK8 powers.... But actually had nothing to do with it lol. I was asking how 9mil is easily guaranteed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Edit: 7mil reported by Sony (Apr 6th). So almost 3 months from then and now. NPD 199k (Apr) 197k (May) which if June sold lets say 200k (nothing released) would mean US sold about 600k. Add in Europe+japan and rest of the world, it should be sold about 1.1mil-1.5mil WW. So i think 9mil could be sold to retailers
