Playstation 4 sold 3.3 million consoles from April 1st to June 30th, making it sell an average of 36,263 consoles were sold per day. Obviously averages aren't accurate though and when you consider how front loaded the Switch sales are in it's first month(57% of Switch sales were in it's first month), Playstation 4 has a great chance of exceeding the Switch and the 3ds this year. Sony expects to sell 18 million PS4's by the end of this year, Nintendo expect 10 million Switch's to be sold and 6 million 3Ds to be sold through to March of the fiscal year. Playstation 4 is already on track to sell 13 million but including Uncharted and Novemember/December sales it's very likely to beat Nintendo. |
What will be interesting is seeing if Nintendo can beat the 10 million projection. The 3DS will likely end around 6 million, but the Switch has the potential to go much higher than 10 million if they can just produce enough. The 3DS shipped 13.53 million in its first fiscal year, but it was only at 0.71 million as of Q1, while the Switch is at 1.96 million.
