The total on the main page should really be over 9m now then.

....hhhheeeerrrEEE WEEE GOOOOooo agaiin....

That would be Sony has sold 3.9 Million units TO RETAILERS ...
And they have sold 1.2 Million units TO RETAILERS since Black Friday ...

As ever, I think it pertinent to point out that those are units sold to retail, not units sold to consumers. VG Chartz tracks the latter, not the former.

What Parokki said... no what SamuelIRSmith said... both.

Sony always release sold numbers from my experience. Their prediction for the end of fiscal year is 11m sold not shipped.

"Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced PlayStation(R) hardware retail sales reached more than 3.9 million units"

No, the total in the main page is should remain below 9m. 

Come now, what kind of company would post actual sales to consumers when the number of units sold to retail sound much more impressive? It's much easier to access that data, too, since they don't have to go and ask the retailers how well their platforms are selling. The article even states that they're units sold to retail, if you read the first two sentences closely.
