If the PS4 numbers aren't over 200,000 next week It can only be down to two possibilities: Sony are stockpiling for Japan OR they can't produce the rumoured 1.2 million (some think 1.4 million) a month. People have been tracking the sales on Amazon and it's selling out constantly and are no reports of stock being freely available at retailers for more than a day, so I can only assume it's still selling out regularly. These numbers just seem wrong to me.


Yeah I agree, I was sure PS4 was going to break the 5mill in Jan, Thinking about it, still could :)

I have no doubt it will break 5 million in Japan. The amount that's missing from these numbers would mean they'd have to sell 500,000 (at least) in the first week. If they don't, this site is wrong or Sony can't produce 1.2 - 1.4 million a month.


So you think the PS4 will sell .5 mil at launch in Japan, that would mean by Mid/End Feb  we are looking at 5.8 maybe 5.9 Mil

The 1.2m is probably right. The thing is that Sony sold 2.1m in december and this number was only possible thanks to changing the shipping from boat to air but now that they returned to ship through boats theres a period of draught.

Next week they should be selling 200k+ already, and they should start stocking just now for the japanese launch which should reflect only the March shipments for US and EU

I thought the 1.2m would be right but these numbers are starting to give me doubts. I agree they could be selling 200k + next week but I think if 1.2m per month were right they would have sold over 200k this week as well.

My original number for the fiscal year was 6.5, so yes, I'm expecing the PS4 to be around 6 million by the beginning of March. Even if it doesn't sell 500,000 (God only knows where those consoles are hiding) I believe it will hit that number. If it does hit 500,000 in Japan then 6.8 - 7 million is possible IMO.

I believe the PS4 has already sold around 5.2 million.

Curious to see how long Microsoft will wait until price cutting the xbox one. Until then, it's over for xbox one.

It better be a surprise price cut, otherwise One sales will drop off a cliff in the interim.

This is meant to be a dead period in console sales. Most people having to pay for Christmas now their credit card bills have arrived. There should be a dip around now which I think is reflected in the current figures generally.

PS4 looks very strong but I must admit it hasn't made the case for me yet to buy one. I need a lot more games than currently available.

We Will see, I don't think you are far off, but 7 mill, I don't know, My guess 6.5, I will take that :)

It is hard to say which week exactlly their shipments should have normalized. We will need to wait for next week numbers.

Maybe the shipped number from their fiscal release can give us a clue.

Well I beieve VGC has the numbers slightly undertracked and they're more than a week behind. Right now I'd say the PS4 is sitting at around 5.2 million. There has been a bit of a lull with AAA titles but we recently had Tombraider which sold better on the PS4 and Thief is up next. These should drive sales further (if the consoles are there).  I originally said 6.5 myself but many have made a case for 7 million and I find myself struggling to entirely disagree.
