Sales not too bad. The drop was to be expected. And the PS4 numbers look spot on for the 18.5 as of Jan 3. I want to know how much each system shipped for the year and I am looking forward to what sales will look like in 2015 for all systems. Well on to the new year!!!


It was "massaged" to be spot on...


Yeah I kow and it was done super fast too! So no complaints!

It almost seems like Sony is only going to announce "Sold Through" for now on.  It's probably to force Xbox to look stupid whenever they don't say "Sold Through."


Nah they will show shipped in the quarterly reports so we will always have those numbers. But as for other announcements yeah it seems like they seem to be going with Sold Through pretty much,

This is not a shot at the XB1 but 2 months out of 12 really doesn't seem to be consistent. But if you are saying for the last 2 months it has been consistent then you would be correct! But the competition is good and healthy currently!

Kind of interesting to see how things will go with PS4's great success so far, and Xbox one without its holiday price cut. I wonder how last gen will sell considering the 360 is going into its 10th year now, and the PS3 and Wii will be in their 9th year.

You would think that by losing most of the year that the gap with hardware and software would be bigger, but the numbers are close. Sony is going to have to pull out all the stops to ensure Microsoft never comes with stringing range of taking its crown



Wow, Vgc actually aligning itself with official PR. Now we'll see if they got the market distributions right. In theory NPD should align with Vgchartz, but there are a lot of people who claim VGC is undertracking RoW, and that could mean a corresponding overtracking in the USA. Ballsy move putting up US numbers the day NPD comes out.

Great that PS4 stayed above 400K. And good for Xb one that came in above 200K. Still lack of any global info coming out of MS means it is really hard to peg Dec shipments for Xb one.
