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.. 

Yep, considering WD still doing great in sales for PS4(2 million+)so i think may be it would have sold close to 2 million in 3 months.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

vgchartz have undertracked US Ps4 almost every time, why not in europe, if so 9m would be possible ?



Probably shipped. Maybe it can hit 9m sold somewhere in the summer on the wake of TLOUR, and 10m after Destiny.

Clearly its a guess.

Sony report shipment numbers quarterly or occasionally on milestones.  Sony have made no such announcement.

Its a guess.

 

It's a guess based on 'shipped' figures. MS know how many they've shipped and they'll have a rough idea how many Sony have shipped too, so:

'Clearly this is shipped.'



 

The PS5 Exists.

Phil Harrison isn't the one who said Sony sold 9 million. The writer of the article did.

Assuming a 10 year life span. PS4 should hopefully sell minimum of 120 million consoles and possibly over 150 million+ console sales with game releases, bundles, price cuts and PS4 slim over the generation.

Those kind of numbers are kinda impossible since gen 6 ended.



VGChartz does undertrack the consoles but those numbers can't be anything other than sold to retailers.



Don't copy random editorials.

They may have used insiderp numbers for ps4 and last MS PR for X1 (or vgc weekly numbers before adjustments).
