So much for people complaining it wouldn't pass it by 2014 end.


But it didn't!It did in the first week of 2015...!:P 


Who is to say it didn't cross it before 31st end and very little between 1-3 of january? Besides statistical error apply so it could likely be 50k bellow 1M on january 3rd or 50k over (which would put over 1M on new's year). Anyway this just proves it wasn't impossible as people claimed on the 900k PR thread.

It's crazy how well the ps4 is doing globally and average it is in its home country. Maybe its late adoption but if the ps4 can't attract the Japanese market, console gaming has to be considered dead there.

Ps4 launched with the biggest western IP Call of duty and Fifa ,in Japan it didn't have that



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

er....

"to Jan 4th"


My comment was relating to people in the 900k thread saying it was impossible to hit 1M before year end, which this News proves wasn't impossible...  So when considering statistical error the goal was possible (not claimed it was sure to meet), i'm 95% sure my prediction about 1M for year end were better than most you done. In fact it is within 5% error margin while your 7 weeks in a row was at least 2/7 wrong and I bet your math will show your mistake was bigger, right?
