Forums - Sales - PS4 Sells 322k Units In Japan (2 Days)

Dark_Lord_2008 on 25 February 2014

2 days sales for 322k PS4 units is great news for PS4 and its fans. The PS4 could sell 400k to 500k for the entire week assuming there is sufficient stock to meet the consumer demand in Japan. 7.25 year gap between PS3 and PS4 launches in Japan. PS4 launch delayed in Japan in comparison to NA and Europe by 3 months, is unheard of especially when consoles usually release earlier or at the same time as NA launch.

A little bit less than expected (400k) but still good. Let's see if my second week sales hold up better then. Congrats to Sony for a finally being available in all major regions, should be a really good first year!

I'm going to attempt to ask this question one last time: How do Famitsu know how many copies of Knack sold? If anyone answers 'because it came with every PS4' I'll bite my table.

I'm not sure why you're so confused. Knack is bundled with every PS4. 322k PS4s were sold, so 322k Knacks must have been sold. 

How do they know how many PS4s sold? And if you say it's because of how many copies of Knack sold I'll die of laughing.

Because Famitsu tracks Japanese sales, we get numbers from them every week. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

This is a sales website... so of course most of the discussion will be about sales.

It's because of how many copies of Knack sold :)



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

YAY ... So it's the PS4 numbers that came first and THEN the knack numbers based on how many PS4s sold. Now, are those accurate numbers?



 

The PS5 Exists.

Yes, we basically take them as fact like NPD numbers.

But don't Media Create usually have different numbers than Famitsu?

They're usually pretty close so it doesn't matter. I think ioi splits it down the middle between their two numbers.
