" cumulative PS4 sales have now surpassed six million units worldwide following the successful launch in Japan just over a week ago "

As of 23rd February, PS4 surpasses 6M*

So, are you suggesting that the figures on VG should already be 6 million? That sentence is open to a few interpretations but you could be right. The word 'surpassed' could be there just to cover the week since the launch. It could be 6.1 - 6.2 already.

no. PS4 have now surprased 6 million. following the successful launch in japan over a week. the over a week was reffering to Japans launch. the now was reffering to the date the PS4 passed 6 million.

But there is room for interpretation there. The 'Now' could refer directly to 'surpassed' (none specific number) because they don't know how many sold in the last week. The 6 million could be as of the 23rd.

I wonder how PS4 will perform in Japan from now on. Anyway, I don't see any chance of Nintendo or Microsoft to win this generation. Sony has got it too right.


I'm guessing 12-15k on average. more then that if something big comes out in that market. I don't expect anything mind blowing.

Maybe you're right. But the point is that there are a lot of variables that can shake that prediction.  The great amount of Japanese HD games that is coming to the PS4, its integration with social networks, the indie games...all of them can produce an unexpected result on a country dominated by the handheld market because of some of these reasons. That's my doubt. I wonder if PS4 will produce an impact on the Japanese market.



Prediction made in 14/01/2014 for 31/12/2020:      PS4: 100M      XOne: 70M      WiiU: 25M

Prediction made in 01/04/2016 for 31/12/2020:      PS4: 100M      XOne: 50M      WiiU: 18M

Prediction made in 15/04/2017 for 31/12/2020:      PS4: 90M      XOne: 40M      WiiU: 15M      Switch: 20M

Prediction made in 24/03/2018 for 31/12/2020:      PS4: 110M      XOne: 50M      WiiU: 14M      Switch: 65M

Moot point. VGC can put it at 5.8-6.2 as of March 2nd and the numbers are close rnough. After the next quarter when there is enough supply the numbers will correct themselves.

Also 13.7 million games


So the tie ratio is enough for no loss ?

Assuming that half are 3rd party and half are 1st party, thats about 50 dollars per ps4 user. Now take into consideration ps+ and accessories, definitly enough to break even.



Hopefully the drop is due to supply constrains, and that it can maintain 200k+ for the month of mars.



Is very likely this is breaking all previous records, so sony migth not have set up assembly lines for such level of demand, yet pachter said they had something like 22 million a year assembly lines set up, we will see.
