Forums - Gaming Discussion - 3.3m PS4, 800k PS3 shipped last quarter, 13.5m shipped as of Sep. 30. Sony giving discrete numbers again.

So almost 2M undertracked wow



Around the Network

I'm just impressed by PS3.

800k shipped in the last two quarters.

That shows the PS4 is yet selling pretty good and already passed 85m comfortable in shipments.



That 17M for the year sounds very realistic by the day

It doesn't sound realistic, it sounds way too small for me. PS4 itself should achieve that, then you have to add on PS3, which has already done 1.6m and is likely to do almost 5m. Sony should easily ship 20m home consoles FY2014



13.5M shipped as of September 30, so the PS4 have shipped another 1.2-1.5M this month bringing the total to 14.7-15M. Yeah, I think VGC undertracked the PS4 big time.... :S

PS4 shipped 13,5 until end of september right?

Last year PS4 sold to consumers(with supply constraint) 4,2 millions with half november+december.

Lets be conservative and say that PS4 will sell in october the basic 1 million(~1,5 shipped).This puts PS4 at 15 millions shipped at end of october.

and lets be conservative again and say that Ps4 will sell 4,2 millions(november+december) again with supply constraint(sold ~= shipped)

this puts PS4 at ~19,2 millions shipped.

Notice that i'm being way conservative with numbers.

Now i ask you guys,is 20 million shipped at december31 that much far from reality?



Son what would this mean to the ps3 vs WiiU "battle"? Last time I saw, ps3 was winning, but that might have changed after Mario Kart

So PS4 is not THAT undertracked here


Actually, this proves that it is incredibly undertracked. 


well PS4 is selling 200k+ every week. 1M on the shelves would not be strange


It was 13.5 million shipped at the end of Sep. By now, that number should be bigger since we've had, so far, the month of October.  I doubt there's a million+ on shelves and even if there is, I feel this results point to the Ps4 being over 12.5 million sold through. 

Essentially, I think the VGC numbers might be as much as 500k undertracked, maybe more. 


Yeah, I am thinking that PS4 has easily sold through to consumers 13.5+ million as of the end of October, based on those shipment numbers at the end of September. Meaning VGChartz is definitely still undertracked. Sony has slowed down their big PS4 sales numbers announcements, but we might get an update at their upcoming PlayStation Experience event in Las Vegas, or perhaps Sony is waiting until it sells through 15 million to make that announcement.

I'm guessing that they'll ship over 20 million for sure. PS4 needs to ship more than 6.5m in the last Q to make it past 20m. So far this calender year exactly 9 million PS4s have been shipped, consoles usually ship around half of their year's total in the last Q of the year. This would suggest PS4 should ship close to 9m in the last Q. Shipping less than 6.5m would be a complete disaster. 20m shipped seems to be a lock



17 million sounds really small I expect a boost in forecast after Q3.

Or not... last year Sony forecast was 5 million and it shipped 7.5m.
