PS4 is at 77 million now (VGC numbers obviously). Sony planned to ship 78 million ending March 31. They did it.

The forecast is 79 million shipped by end of this fj. Shipping 2.5M in the last quarter.

If we go by vgc numbers, they already sold over 2.8M units this quarter, with two weeks remaining, so there will be some empty shelves at random places here and there by the end of this month.

Well there was a 2.9 million shipped vs sold difference at the end of 2017, 76.5m shipped vs 73.6m sold.

So even if this quarter sales are 3.4m with shipments of 2.5m, there would still be a 2m shipped vs sold difference.

I wonder if we´ll see a system with a PS2/Wii/DS type of domination ever again.

Wow, that's great, the numbers are essentially back to what they used to be. I wonder if we'll even have complete VGC numbers for next month's NPD, it may be the first time in a while where we will have people talking about its accuracy

Hardware essentially up to date does mean it will be less accurate than if I kept it a month+ behind. The algorithm does get some figures a bit off. Once official figures are released and our numbers are off I will make sure to make the necessary adjustments. 

Did you ever get an algorithm for the Switch?

They increased their forcast after last quarters results, they are expecting 79 million now, which they should have no problem reaching.

I forgot. Thanks.

I think he means on a weekly/monthly/yearly basis. During its prime, Wii had just absolutely rediculous sales but PS4 will overtake it due to consistency & longevity.

I'm not understanding why switch numbers are close to US in europe. based on nintendo own graph NA sales are on another level vs europe.

It's the 6th year it's been on the market. I didn't say it has been out for 6 years or even say it's the 6th full year. It's gonna have it's 6th holiday season this year. 

Its not even the 5th full year yet..... dunno how your oqm math works.

Nov 2013- nov 2014= 1yr
Nov 2014-Nov 2015= 2nd yr
Nov 2015-Nov 2016= 3rd yr
Nov 2016-Nov 2017=4th yr

Nov 2018 will be making the 5th year......

So how are yoi doing yours?

I'm just doing mine by saying it's the 6th year it's been on the market. Not that it's 6 years old. 

2013 being the first and 2018 being the 6th. Just that. In 2019 I'd say it's the Switch's 3rd year as it would've available in 2017,2018 and 2019. 



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

You are not truly at fault, but you sound like ps4 is a lot older then it really is hahahha.

Ps4 is in the market for 6 years and is in its 5th full year.

Now we are all happy:)

Yes, there is one set up now. 

Nice, that's good to hear.
