I wish we had some Preorder numbers from Japan, if the first batch offered via preorder sold out in 'a few minutes' (According to Hiroshi Kawano) are to be believed, how many were offered?  What kind of preorder stats have they seen since that first batch (Presumably they've added more bundles/consoles to it since the first 'batch'.)...  So little information to really draw a serious conclusion from.

And yeah, reserving consoles for the Asian release, from their initial runs of PS4's seems woefully daft.  So yeah I figure a percentage of weekly runs is reserved for the Asian launch.


Its wishful thinking but we may get pre-order numbers tomorrow with the quarter report from sony. I doubt it though :(. I think it weill have a lot of pre orders in Japan.

I think it's going to light up the charts in Japan, as well, I'm just curious what that amount will be.  I don't think I've ever cared this much about a console launch outside my region before (mainly because I want to see Sony back in a far more stable position financially).

Global Hardware by Platform

week ending January 24th 2009

Wii - 430,295
DS - 380,788
PSP - 168,232
X360 - 158,827
PS3 - 149,395

Look at the numbers above for 4 years ago that is what late January numbers should look like.

This gen is fucking awful.

Final console gen unless sales of everything go up by a huge degree.

So true. Things are in the crapper. The Wii helped distract from the shrinking console sales. Now there is nothing like that to deflect attention from the facts.

Why are you comparing 2009 numbers to 2014? Wouldn't 2007 numbers make more sense considering this gen just started? 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I guess we'll have to wait and see then.

You need to look at 2007 numbers... 360 one year on the marker = Wii U, Wii = PS4 and 360 = Xbone.

The sales are down but not that much... Wii had Japan in this favor because without it the numbers are exactly like the PS4.

Yes. Because late 2008/ early 2009 is when the last generation started.

Just me or these numbers seems low to PS4?


I expected North America to be higher because of people talking about new shipments and lines.

The Wii at this stage in its life was doing 90k in america. 60k europe and 80k japan. and 250k world wide.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Yeap... this is close to the numbers PS4 is doing right now 169k vs 151k... Wii and PS4 are neck a neck on sales.



Not much to say...nothing is really amazing and nothing is really any more terrible than expected.
