Damn. Can get another YoY improvement??? haha |
It would be cool seeing 6 years of data where it's increased every year.
| Hiku said: Interesting. They had a somewhat weaker holiday season than last year, so it was improved sales in the other months that contributed to 2017 being the best year so far. |
Haha I remember someone telling me Japan sales for ps4 this holiday were even worse considering its up YOY in the rest of the world. I guess it was down in December just like Japan.
| pxrocks said: Nearly 75 million ps4 sold without big games like GOW,spiderman,rdr2,gt,last of us p2 and gta6.now imagine the sell through number after the release of these games. |
Yeah huge year ahead plus all the smaller exclusives they got. Gta 6 is probably October 2020 but it will be absolutely huge especially with ps4 being under $200 by then.

"A total of 243.9 million units of software were sold in 2017." ^ that is f***ing crazy, ton of game sales. |
1bn is now a lock. It will end up around 1.5bn now by the end of its life. Maybe even higher.
| thismeintiel said: If they had just kept it at $199, or just had better bundles, they could have beat last year's holiday season. Oh well, they'll have more ammo to try to make this year their peak year. Maybe 21M-22M. |
They weren't bothered because they'll get those sales next year when it drops again. I'd imagine they'll drop it to $249 and then back to $199 on black Friday. They'll probably leave it at $19 for December aswell though.
| zorg1000 said: Is it likely that PS4 will get a permanent price cut to $199 this year? Im leaning more towards $249 permanently with $199 during the holidays again. |
Agreed. There is no need to go to $199 yet when it's selling so well and with upcoming mega titles like God of war, rdr2 and spiderman coming out.
| ironmanDX said: Yeah... We're not getting a PS5 until 2020. |
Good.. The ps4 and ps4 Pro are more then enough. Last thing we need is a new gen. 2020 or 21 please.
| PAOerfulone said: 32 Million are paying $50 for PS+? |
They are swimming in ps plus cash. 32m plus subs from 74m sales. When they hit 100m+ they should be have around 50m subs. That's 2.5BN in cash annually. Holy shit. This aspect of ps4 alone could drive the profits of the company as a whole.
| JRPGfan said: PSN at >70m is actually bigger than STEAM! which has 67m active users..... O_o' |
Great news.
