7 million in 5 months, in the pre-season, cray cray.

Looks like the "Japanese niche crap" contributed to the domination.

Are the sales up YoY, anyone have the numbaz? Zhuge?

Last year it was 5 million units over the same periode... I think I read on neogaf.

So yeah its up YoY.

Not only that.... but this:

"Worth noting this pace is actually the fastest the PS4 has ever sold in the first half of the year."

Dayyum, and remember it still has a month to go in the first half of the year, so possibly a million more units...

I predicted this could be PS4's peak year, if the price cuts and bundurus are timely and wise.

I blame the niche crap.

A better wording would be "Offer's diversity", given Horizon also launched within this period and holyday AAA's are still contributing.

Hopefully Sony is keeping at eye on sales and going "if this is the effect niche crap has on sales, we need more of it".

Normally this time of year is throw away time for hardware pushes because everyone is stocking up for the holidays. But its good to see companies take this time of year seriously. Japanese centric games are really starting to take hold in the west. Nothing is off the table to come here now.

That's a sale deceleration compared to 2015-16. They should be at 70 millions by now, but they probably lost momentum because of the shit PS Slim/Pro differentiation.

Hopefully they will release one single PS4 upgrade next-year ie. what the PS4 Neo should've been alongside a new PSVR, and hopefully backward compatibility and then you can be sure they'll reach 100mil faster than you'd know.

You did not read any of this thread did you?

 

This year they did 7m+ over a periode of 5months.

Last year it was 5m+ over the same periode (read on neogaf).

That means its up YOY.  (sales didnt decline or decelerate)

Not just for this year compaired to last either.

2016 -  5.2m (Jan 2nd to June 11th)
2017  - 7m (Jan 1st to June 11th)

More importantly how will it continue to sell after this e3. They didn't announce any new blockbuster exclusives and the current list of blockbusters set to release don't count because we already knew about them! 

 

You want more blockbusters than God of war, Detroid, Days Gone, Spinderman( Finally Spide gets a game that he deserves) Uncarted lost legacy?

Yes this E3 was mediocore compere to 2015 2016 not because the lack of games but because its was no surpises but how many? the only games has left to surpises us is Silent hill to be like res 7 and Half  life 3.

 

Do you konow how many games has come the firs of 6 months this year and we wait Crash trilogy, Next machina, Hellblade Materfall, Knack 2 Yakuza 6, GT SPORT........

Yeah how to continue to sell after this E3 that give more gameplay for 5 AAA games That is all exclusives :)

I Was Joking Lol . I Agree With You .

Wasn't the attach rate for Wii U even higher? If I recall, it was over 10 per console.

Probably was, it has some pretty impressive software sales for certain titles, given its tiny installed base. I'm quite surprised, I expected both PS4 and Xbox One to down yoy at this point.

I Think It's Time You Stop Underestimating PS4!
