Sony has sold 9 million PlayStation 4 consoles while Microsoft’s Xbox One is at 5 million consoles sold worldwide, according to a recent Edge magazine interview with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Corporate Vice President Phil Harrison.

Back in April, Sony (NYSE:SNE) had moved 7 million PS4 units and the Xbox One was at 5 million units shipped to retail stores like Best Buy and GameStop.

Both consoles launched last November, with the PS4 reaching buyers one week earlier than the Xbox One on Nov. 15.

I doubt VGChartz is 700k off


The ways it was updated lately, I have no doubt about it... last week they added 100k for both PS4 and XB1, after a few weeks with no update of the totals, hoever the PS4 sells 100k on its worst week... while the XB1 hovers between 35 - 70k a week...

What is our guess at current PS4 sales? I feel like PS4 has been at 8.3 for months


I think VGChartz 8.2 million is off. It was 7 million at the beginning of April I believe and then 7.4-7.6 by mid-april according to Thuway so 8.2 is far off I think.

YAY!

Eh it's about as reliable as VGchartz ;)

Phil is just going off what everyone knows to be sony's PS4 manufacturing capacity. Which doesn't even guarantee that they are shipping out all they are making or not having any snags with manufacturing.

As of January this year sony hit 4M sold to consumers (I think, I forget). So if they make 1M PS4s every month then by the end of june the would have made a total of 10M PS4s. That doesn't mean they shipped all 10M out cause typically they should be stockpiling a few so they have enough to meet demand around the holiday season.

My guess is that while they have no doubt made over 10M PS4s as of today, they probably only have around 9M of those in circulation (shipped or sold) and have 1M of them in warehouses around the world. To meet holiday season demand they need to have at least 4-5M consoles to cover the months of oct-dec. I also believe they will have a limited manufacturing run of 1-1.5M White PS4s for the destiny bundle. That may or may not be inclusive of the 4-5M holiday allotment.
