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.

"
PlayStation 4 achieved 600 million units world total actual sales in about three and a half months since its release, the number of actual sales software topped 13.7 million this
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.

They should force a PS4/Vita bundle so that won't ever happen :)

PS4 sales hit 6 million, new era of social gameplay ushered in

As you’ve probably read by now, cumulative PS4 sales have now surpassed six million units worldwide following the successful launch in Japan just over a week ago. It’s truly humbling to see the rate at which gamers across the globe are choosing PS4 as their next gen console of choice. Even more exciting is what happens when gamers power up their PS4s. In the United States, more than 90% of PS4s are online, enabling gamers to connect, compete and share their greatness with friends and fellow gamers.

There have now been more than 3.6 million live broadcasts, and more than 56 million spectate sessions on PS4 through Twitch andUstream. In fact, since January 1st, PS4 gamers account for 20% of daily broadcasters on Twitch. PS4 owners are also embracing the Share button on the DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller, with more than 100 million shares captured as fans show friends their latest achievements on Facebook and Twitter.

And soon, you’ll be able to share your greatness in new ways. Developers are beginning to take advantage of PS4′s new interactive live broadcasting gaming features, integrating modes that allow broadcasted gameplay to become interactive for spectators. Even as a viewer, you can now influence livestreamed gameplay.

For example, Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition features a built-in Broadcast+ mode where you can stream your gameplay while viewers on the PS4 or a web browser influence positive and negative effects during gameplay. More social feedback is on the way too, with Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition in March and Daylight in April.

We love the enthusiasm that all of you have had for the PS4 since launch, and we can’t wait to share more great games, experiences and features with you soon. Greatness awaits!
