| Mummelmann said: 1 million in one territory, their worst one, in one day? Color me surprised. And impressed. I would have expected far less and thought the 3 million before year's end, without Japan, sounded far fetched. The Wii U did about 470k first week combined and actually had a fairly good holiday launch last year. |
it's not their worst territory. they sold much less ps3 in japan. and only europe as whole continent is better but as single country, usa is their biggest market. sure, they were the weakest compared to the competition in north america but that doesn't change that the market in sold units is still huge for sony.
but why do all people wonder about this? they had 1m+ pre-orders in june if i remember correct (and without japan). since then they got obviously more pre-orders and sold also units you couldn't pre-order. i think 1m was to expect. 1m north america, 1m+ in europe (depends what they can ship but 1m is minimum, they want this number in the news)
