| Ariakon said: Sounds about right, if not even a little low. I remember PS4 and Xbox One shipped 4.2 and 3.9 million respectively over their first couple of months, though I don't quite remember how quickly each shipped 2 million.
EDIT: Went back and looked it up. Yeah, ps4 shipped 2.1 million its first month, and then another 2.1 million its second. |
Not really accurate according to what I read, the 4.2 millions number is for 2013. The PS4 was launched the 15th of November in the US and 29th in EU, and not launched in Japan before 2014. Your numbers surely mean 2.1 millions for the first 2 US weeks, and 2.1M more for the EU and December in the US, not exactly 2.1M a month (didn't the PS4 sell 2M in the first few days?).
So 4.2 millions = 1 month EU + 1,5 months US, a lot closer to 1 month worlwide (maybe even less) than 2 months.
EDIT: The PS4 sold 1M the first 24h in the US (and Canada), and more than 250k in the first 2 days in the UK. Pretty sure the 2M were sold in less than 48h if you align the different launches.
