Forums - Sony Discussion - PlayStation 4 sell through in the US has surpassed 30 million

It looks like Germany might surpass Japan soon, even with a significantly smaller population.

The PS4 hasn't done very well in Japan, and to be fair, it's partly due to a declining gaming market in that region. Switch sales in Japan have already surpassed the PS4, but worldwide this won't happen for a long time, if ever.

It seems that compared to PS2, PS4 has diminished in sales in US, Japan and probably UK but it will end selling way more everywhere else.....

XBox has surely robbed PS of at least 15M in sales in the US alone.Back in the PS2 era... Xbox was doing anywhere near as well as its at least doing now in those two territories.



Congratz Sony!

console (+ handheld console) only that would be UK by quite a margin, including PC and mobile games it's probably pretty even

UK for consoles, according to VGC figures for 2018.

Software
UK - 21.6m
Germany - 20.4m

Hardware
UK - 2.8m
Germany - 2.5m

Total Consumer Spending: https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-10-countries-by-game-revenues/

So apparently Germany is a bigger market for total spending, including Mobile/IAP etc.
