Some people get so defensive over nothing, it's quite sad actually.

lol, is that all MS could manage with an early launch, cheaper hardware, and better multiplatforms?
The saddest part is that even though its on the verge of losing that tiny lead it may have, people are still boasting about it.

Umm.... I remember so many threads celebrating when the PS3 "passed" the 360...

The gap between the PS4 and Xbox One is still "small" by that reasoning also. You can't have it both ways, champ.

Too the bolded... 25 million to over 80 million? They stole tonnes of marketshare and have made a profit YoY for a while now. So... What?!?

24m to 82m consoles... over 200 1m selling games... unprecedented.

PS3 is at 3.6 right? PS4 was 4.2 and they both added up to 7.8.

From what we know PS4's were getting sold as soon as they arrived at retailers. I believe we just recently have started seeing people who have finally been able to see a bit more PS4s

From what we know, PS4 has been getting sold out as fast as they came so i dont think there would be hundreds of thousands of PS4s out in the wild

But who knows..

 

Edit: that 7.8 mill is just from december or all they up until now?


The sold out claim is based most in anedoctal evidences in few important markets ex: USA, UK, Germany.

Other parts of the world we have little to no information. I was hoping Sony financial report would enlight us with more details.

PS: In the anedoctal bases I can tell you that the PS4 never went sold out in Brazil, even if very limited supply. After the first two weeks of december it was pretty easy to find a PS4 at the "gray market" here.

Yeah, and no RROD happened which hurt a *lot* of sales in the beginning. Interesting how only good arguments come in for 360 to defend PS3...


No it didnt hurt it actually, it actually led to more sales and I bet the units MS replaced were counted in their 'sales' data

Xbox platform grew from 24millions to 82milions. Just accept the fact, dude.

Oh, wow, people have been quoting VGChartz ALL over the web saying it's the other way around. And blah, blah, PS4 outselling Xbox One 3 or 4 to 1. Could it really be the numbers say another truth!?!

Let's see, meltdown, dental, or excuses? For some reason some people think you have to be #1 to count. But as another thread clearly showed, Nintendo made some money and did fine during the Game Cube years.

That's really impressive for Microsoft Xbox 360 grabbing more than it's predecessor.

Only because Gameboy / Gameboy advance was doing amazingly and selling a ton of games. GC didn't do well financially.

As for PS4 being instantly sold out everywhere. Fact is many countries only got one shipment of PS4s in 2013. So aside from USA, UK and perhaps 4 or 5 other countries yes every unit shipped in 2013 was sold. So I think shipment number is very close indeed to sell-through, there might be only 50K or so in it. So I think 3.6M PS3 shipped is closer to being correct than 3.3M.

Official financial numbers 4.2 million PS4's shipped all previous sold numbers are now official bullshit not surprising.

The real sales are this quarters results just like with the WiiU last year.



Puppyroach on 06 February 2014

As a matter of fact they have been neck-and-neck the entire year based on shipments, which means 360 has maintained its lead from 2013. I have said it all along and the shipments have confirmed it.
