6 million units sold as of March 2nd. This includes 370k units sold in Japan.

Source is in Japanese only, sorry.

For reference, the PS4 was 5.3 million units prior to the Japanese launch.

That's awesome, in just 4 months they've manage to get 6m.



Says 370K units in Japan as at 2 March, so that means 2nd week in Japan is only ~50K. If that's not due to supply constraints that is one massive mother of a drop.

Game news PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 (SCE) Sony Computer Entertainment, I announced that the actual sale of the whole world has achieved 600 million units in total in the March 2, 2014 time. This includes 370,000 units of actual sales in Japan, which was released on February 22, 2014 are included.

"PlayStation 4 (SCE), Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that the actual sale of the whole world has achieved 600 million [sic, bad translation obviously] units in total in the March 2, at 2014 (※ 1). This includes 370,000 units of actual sales in Japan, which was released on February 22, 2014 are included." - Google Translate

So 5.847M+~50K = ~5.9M. That means outside Japan PS4 sold only ~100K, again if that's not due to supply constraints that's a very big drop too.

6M in under 4 months is great, but the numbers in the last week to break that mark are not terribly impressive.

Definitely supply constrained for 2nd week. Will probably see similar numbers for the next few weeks in Japan too

"I’m pleased that PS4 is off to a great start in Japan. Everyone surpassed Sony Computer Entertainment’s expectations by using the social interaction features of the PS4, connecting with every other user around the world. Sharing the fun of PlayStation brings us great joy. By providing innovative features and services and unique content to the PS4 in the future, we’ll keep expanding the world of PlayStation."
