For what exactly? 4.2m is the sales for Dec 28th.... the shipment is obvious over that and the combined shipment is 7.8m.

Unless there is a magical way to ship and sold in the same day... the late December shipment just get sold in early January... if you account Sony is producing ~200k units per week... then the mininum shipped is the sales 4.2m + 0.2m for the last week of December... so minimum 4.4m.

You are making the SOLD vs  SHIPPED mistake.

What they sold:

"TOKYO, JAN. 8, 2014 -Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced that cumulative sales of the PlayStation®4 (PS4™) computer entertainment system have reached 4.2 million*1 as of December 28, 2013, demonstrating the explosive growth of the PS4 platform.

*1 Number of retail sales to consumers is estimated by SCEI."

Okay, thanks.

Why did they start to ESTIMATE sold through numbers in their financial reports all of a sudden? Weird.

So, the PS4 oustold the Xbox One by about 500 - 600k and Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 by about 200k. Got it.
