This would be impressive if Nintendo and Microsoft didn't suck so hard.

2.5m for MS isn't bad at all. That's way up from last year. It's mostly Nintendo that is doing the sucking

Oh, right. I forgot that you didn't expect Microsoft to sell 500k Xbox Ones in September alone.

You forget quickly.

And I haven't bought mine, yet. I have a birthday next late spring. Let's see what happens then.

Those are actual sold numbers, not shipped! Even though the shipped is impressive.


no. 3.3m is shipped.  not this again!!!

Explain then...

Retailers are Sony's customers, not you. They are able to track their shipments as they fulfill orders and rely on tracking services like NPD and Media Create for the number of consoles purchases at retailers by end users.

Intersting isnt it... that despite this it will still be one of the lowest years ever for playstation shipments.

2nd lowest in the last 8 years.

Just think about that.

Sony had a successful handheld last gen. Now, like Microsoft, a majority of the shipments are from their console business. I don't see how that's interesting, everyone knows the Vita is doing poorly. You don't have to downplay every bit of good Sony news you know.

Its not downplaying.  its an important industry fact,

the gaming industry is smaller for Ninty and Sony. 

It demands more acumen and business sense to make a sustainable model where you dont have new hardware cycles every couple of years.

You mean like the PS1? And the PS2? I think you're forgetting that they've already succeeded in a smaller industry.
