Based on Sony saying they will sell more Playstation 4's this holiday than any previous generation hardware, I expect them to sell more than 6 million through December 31st.

Where did the HandHeld version of this thread go? A lot less depressing. For me, at least.

I don't see 6m. No company has been able to get that many into retail.

4m tops is more likely.

IDK, I didn't create that one.

Just out of interest, do we know how many units PS2 sold in the US and Japan holiday 1.

I'm sure you can find Sony's official quarterly reports on that first year end that will tell you that info. But that would be shipments not final sales, however with a launch device it won't be much different.

I don't have that info though. But I have seen MANY comparisons between Wii and PS2 and Wii was always ahead until late in its life and it only put out 3.5m or so in its launch xmas.



Seriously this is driving me nuts, am I the only one who cant see any of the chart/data anymore?

Checked over the span of a few weeks in both Opera and Firefox, refreshed and all that jazz, still nothing.

EDIT: As far as the PS4 launch, while the Wii U only had to compete with the last gen consoles that had already been out for 7+ years, the PS4 is competing DIRECTLY against the launch of the One, and the Wii U is having a sort of unofficial re-launch with very considerable software lineup and likely steep price cut.

By itself would be one thing, but I think the One launching at nearly the exact same time alone for largely the same demographic would bring it below 3 million easy.



I Expect to see the Nintendo Wii U massively increase units since they are doing a sort of "Relaunch" for it from Pikmin 3 all the way to Mario 3D World in December.

Is it still not working for you? I tried on places I am both logged into Google and not... on different browsers too and it all shows for me.
