Why is that such a weird question after seeing some vague statement that was thrown in google translate? And i just saw it on other news outlets aswell so guess it's official. And it's early morning here so. :-p

My thoughts here:

So they announce >10 million sold in early August, and 13.5 million shipped by the end of September.

They sold 728k in the US alone in August+September, so that's 10.7 million right there.

Assuming ratios between the US and ROTW remained constant within 5% since the last couple of sales updates (about 35:65), ROTW should be anywhere between 1,092,000 and 1,699,000. That means sales would be anywhere between 11.8 million to 12.4 million sold at the end of September (Basically where VGC has it at).

Now in October, we saw sales go down in the US (of course) by 45%. Now ROTW might not of dropped as much, but still, if the ratio remained constant this month as well, then that is additional 446k to 693k in ROTW. That means sales as of October could be anywhere from 12.5 million to 13.4 million (VGC is within the range, but closer to the high end).

Now November. This is most likely the cause of everything. Assuming the number of PS4's at the end of October are the high end, 13.4 million, they only sold 700k in November. An impossibility. If they were closer to the lower end, 12.5 million, then they sold 1.6 million in November. A possible outcome, as we have no idea on what the US sales are in November until Thursday, and the number would be close to the low end estimate of August+September, which were pretty strong months for PS4 sales.

Or a more likely scenario. These numbers don't include the final week of November.

Following this, I would say the PS4 in November would be anywhere from 2072k to 2763k. That brings the total between 14.6m and 16.2m. Then december sales can be anywhere between 2.3m to 3.9m.

Just my thoughts


And US is what % of that? guess NPD :P.

So, House was banging on about how supply would be tight this holiday.

Does this mean that they didnt sell as well as they expected this holiday and thus supply was actually fine or it is tight supply and shipments are similar to sold through?

Either way, I cant see how the shipments can be more than 20m for the next report and nowhere near the 24.5m the Wii had by March.


IIRC the Wii was also supply constrained the whole first year so it could have moved even more in its first year.

Some really takes this serious really really serious hehe =)

Being disappointed that it didn't reach 20M.. It's still the best selling console, still one of the best selling consoles of all time. 1M overtracked doesnt really mean anything for anyone but the Wii U, that would be a huge blow. Hoping that is not the case.
