By a good margin. Probably due to Pro.

Hardware up 8.77% YoY, software up 44% YoY

The software part is the most surprising part to me. Is it all PS4 games or only Sonys first party?

Total software, digital and retail. Don't forget the install base is about 20M bigger than last year though.

The slim and ps4pro came late in the year, and they where abit greedy with the 299$ price point at launch of the PS4slim.

It wasnt really until the holidays they priced them as they should have done.

And thats where you see the uptick compaired to last year.

So Id say the Slim+pro did their job.

If sony keeps the slim at 249$, 2017 should be up YoY too.

They also didn't bother discounting the Pro during Black Friday or the holiday season. In fact, I think it was the only hardware SKU that didn't receive an official (as in announced by Sony) discount.

It would be kinda weird to discount a new model immediately though. I'd be upset if I had bought a PS4 Pro at launch if they discounted them like 2 weeks later. 



Lmao Ps4 is doomed guys 53.4m is weak sales, my toaster sold more.



They also announced these numbers during CES livestream.

I know but Black Friday is probably the only time they could do it without anybody batting an eyelid.

this year we will have cod bundle star wars bf 2 bundle destiny 2 bundle and red dead 2 bundle and crash bandicoot ps4 bundle and 199 price cut
sells will be so crazy imo



Sold through. Impressive.



Ps4 slim did sell very well. It didn't really need a 4k blu Ray to move units. Uncharted sold pretty well too though it is obvious the ps4 slim did most of the job.

Sony will probably fall short of their estimated FY2016 shipment numbers (20million for the year, 60million lifetime). Assuming 1.5mil PS4s on shelves/in warehouses we'd have 54.9million shipped as of January 1st. Sony would have to ship 5.1mil PS4s in Q1 2017 for them to reach their goal, which would be a 121.74% YoY increase.

Last year they had 1.8 million on shelves in the same time period, and given sales are somewhat up and they recently launched the Pro, I think it's fair to say there's gonna be more on shelves this year than last. 2 million minimum.They still won't make it though. 



I thought Uncharted 4 will cross 10 million this year. Still it's awesome news. Great numbers.
