Does it genuinely say sold through as all I've seen is the word sold. As we all know that means very little

But also given how difficult it is to find PS4s, I can believe that there are only 1-200k on shelves

Yep its sold to customers:

Amazing... and Sony is using a logical way to release the data.

1.0m as of November 15
2.1m as of November 29
4.2m as of December 28
5.3m as of February 8

Next numbers? 6.4m



Really good tracking by VGC. Am I the only one thinking X1 sales are crappy as hell and that PS4 sales don´t feel to impressive?



BTW UNDERTRACKED!

How PS4 sales are not impressive? It is 5.3m in 2 months and 3 weeks... close to 1 million ahead Wii at the same time... it by a long margin the fastest selling console ever.

Phenomenal number if you account it is having supply issues yet.

BTW 1.1 million between Dec 28 and Feb 8... if you account they shipped some units by air in late December then this pretty much confirms Sony is producing over 1.2m consoles per month.

Yeah, I'd say it's undertracked by ~150-200k.

What makes you think that? VGC has it at 5.2 million and it's a week old. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just wondering what leads you to believe that.

Vgchartz like a boss.
Off by 100k give or take, and Sony mostly round up a few thousand.
Freaking spot on. I think someone is leaking Sony numbers to Bret
