Forums - Sales - PS4 sold 21k units in Portugal in 2013

From GAF... I'm late so I will just copy.

Just a quick thread for those who are interested in knowing sales data by country in Europe.

21 thousand units sold. Data is as of 31 December.

Main points:
- Sold entire stock allocated to the country
- Are working hard to replenish stock in January
- The wording and the number of units imply Portugal barely made it as a launch country:

“Queremos agradecer a todos os fãs de PlayStation em Portugal a confiança que ao longo dos anos têm depositado na nossa marca. É graças a eles e para agradecer o seu apoio que tudo fizemos para lançar a PS4 em Portugal no mesmo dia em que saiu nos principais países europeus. (…) Portugal é muito importante para nós e vamos continuar a apostar no mercado português tal como temos feito até aqui”

Very quick translation:

"We want to thank all PlayStation fans in Portugal for the confidence they have placed in our brand over the years. It is thanks to them and their support that we did everything to launch the PS4 in Portugal on the same day it came out in the main European countries. (...) Portugal is very important to us and we will continue to invest in the Portuguese market as we have been doing"

Around the Network

GAFers shared some old launch for comparison.

20k in 3 months for PS3.
5k for in 3 months for PS2.

DAT PS4



Never thought 3DS was selling so poorly, compared to Vita. I never thought Vita was doing so well, to be honest.



And 21K copies of FIFA 14 for PS4.



Portugal has always been a Sony bastion!

To be honest, when i was younger (during the N64 and GC days) PS`s success did upset me (nintendo fan here!), but during last generation i too bought a PS3, mainly because of 1st party games. Only really liked Uncharted, Resistance and R&Clank.
I`m ok with PS. I think it has a lot to offer, i`m just a Nintendo fan at heart! :)



21k is...Good ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Excellent sales for a small market apparently :)



Sold the entire shipment in Portugal too, 21k is good, the best in Sony consoles history in there.
And holy cow at Vita being the best selling Handheld of the holiday season. I thought 3DS had the biggest games. Portugal is totally a Sony land then.
