Not surprising. People all over the world have been making Playstation their choice this generation. Sony is clearly winning another generation.

You know the world is in turmoil when a console like the PS4 can sell so well so quickly.

Hopefully people regain their senses soon and Switch.

Totally agree, I hope the PS4 users switch to PS4 Pro.... Glad someone has finally come out and said it ;)

I've been away from Gaming for a little while now and I just checked TimDog's twitter? WTF? When did he start to hate Microsoft?

Rofl may be right about not achieving 20M since it probably won't sell 20M in the same timeframe, but some factors should be included that could lead to a bigger stuffing on channels like releasing Slim and Pro that would probably increase some inventory levels. But at least we know we'll get propper numbers in time.

Even then, it is extremely unlikely that there are anough  PS4s in stock to reach their 60 million forecast, and if there are, then the PS4 is currently stupendously overshipped.

There could be a lot of overshipping in one quarter the discussion is if 60M could or not be reached, it could, nothing about sell through.

Yes, that way Switch may excell WiiU in sales.

8.7 Million People bought Uncharted 4, and people say that there isn't a mental health crisis.

Yes, I agree, it should already had crossed 20M.

So someone you recently had an interaction with was so overwhelmed with your "influence" that they made an account, used almost the same spelling, AND copied you avatar just to spread your "influence" to other people.

Are you a cult leader?

Nope, although I could probably pull it off if I wanted to. Over the past decade there has always been one or the other user who worshipped me to an unsettling degree.

You should raise the count and start your cult.

Just thought of a game. 10 people, including Rol, make 10 Rol alt accounts. They post in the forum and we have to vote one out every day until we end up with one Rol. Can we identify the real Rol? This could be fucking epic.

only way to work out would be to vgc to hide date of creation of account, number of posts and allow for the exact same username...

But we could elect the best Rol instead of the real one.

I believe Sony will not have enough PlayStation VRs and PS4 Pro's worldwide - when Resident Evil 7 and all the other games end of january appear. Currently, many stores have none. When does Sony send more? Every 2-3 weeks?

Uncharted 4 - awesome. More then 10 million units are possible : )

Only once a month? -.-

That would explain it.

This wasn't mentioned in the press release, but PS4 software sales are at 401.1million. http://www.thewolfhall.com/ps4/sie-japan-gm-ps4-pro-psvr-supply-issues/
That's 7.51 games per console.

I assume this is as of the same date as the 53.4m PS4s sold through number is, but I'm not sure.
