I bought the PS4S for $199. Great piece of hardware for the priceurprisingly thin as well. Makes the my OG X1 look even more massive.

This seems like a big year for consoles in general.

Is this your first PS4?

I thought you had one already!

I couldn't really tell if he was delineating one as console and not the other.

I would have to believe that, even if conjoined, the PS4 sold WAY more units than the PSVR.

To move that many PSVR units would be a gamechanger, though.

It would be crazy to have 1M PSVR sold in USA and because of this win BF =] and that would help our support

Exactly, whatever it ultimately breaks down to mean will be a win-win for them.

Black Friday was only 3 days ago.....and people expect the big 3 to know how they did against each other. All I know is PS4s at 200 sold put everywhere right away pretty much while the other 2 didn't. Heavily doubt PS4 lost considering how sold out it was across the board.

Very good, the signals were here on the BF week...

Now it's waiting game to see how it compares to competition. Since he didn't said they won BF perhaps Switch or X1 done even better.

Well I don't think they'd have sales numbers for Switch or Xbox One, definitely not official ones, so it would be quite unprofessional to just come out and say it, even if they knew it was most likely true. 

its not about hating on switch, just giving my prediction on sales, which make sense to me. ps4 has a massive library, dropped 100$ it was obvious to me switch wont be close.

I don't care about having this discussion for the millionth time, just telling ya no one was hating on  the PS4, they were just accusing you of being a hater for Switch.

on the down side, this could mean they didn't win November. Or BF. Or both.

Evident in them not saying they were the best selling console this BF. Then again, that may be something they will save for an official press release.

Yeah, I wonder about that as well. If they had actually won Black Friday in the US he would have said it in the video, and they would have the news plastered on just about every financial and gaming news site around, instead of giving the news story to CNBC as an exclusive story.

Maybe they just don't know the numbers of their concurrents yet and have to wait until NPD to know for sure if PS4 really outsold Switch or XBO

It would be nuts if they pushed over 2 million, and Nintendo did the same with switch.... considering only the wii and ps2 ever did that in the U.S

This.

 

If they do have some info on stock though, it's still good news for Sony.

What is unprofessional about saying they won?

Yes.. they either sold a lot of PS4 system ( and no, they didn't count PSVR as consoles) or PSVR also sold quite a lot.

Resetera is takeing this as them saying they won black friday.

"it took Sony till December 7th 2016 to confirm they won BF last year, they must be very confident or it was a PR mistake to say something this early....Hopefully this pushes Nintendo and Microsoft to come out and say something on how well they also did?"  - Scopehj

Unless we're talking about E3 2006, then nah .. they're usually not the kind of compagny which would go boasting around about their numbers, pretty humble in that regard.

Though, let's see if they'll make any statement or we'll probably have to wait until the next financial report in January :P

They have talked about being first or having good months a lot of times.
