+ 120000 to be added to that figure. Not arguing with you seece. Dark_Feanor is stating that it if it will undertracked in the US it has to be overtracked somewhere else. How does he know that?

My friend, try to follow the history of this thread. 

Sony said they SOLD 6mi by March 2, VGChartz shows PS4 very close to 6mi by week ending March 1th.

Ethomaz says, it´s undertracked and NPD will show it, I point that even compared to January NPD VGChartz was overtraking both PS4 and XOne (the former by a lot).

The chance VGChartz is undertracking is the same as it´s overtracking PS4 sales in the USA.

HOWEVER, 6mi total WW is a "unchangable" figure. If NPD shows VGChartz undertracked PS4 in NA then VGChartz is overtraking PS4 in somewhere else.

  I was not considerating last week number when I replied to Ethomaz, because NPD won´t tell us anything about last week sales.

Got it?


Bold: Errm, excuse me but, what?


That part kind of confused me. Vgchartz undertracked PS4 in that NPD didn't it?


No, if NPD showed PS4 with 280k and Xone with 143k, VGChartz was overtracking both. PS4 by about 50k and Xone by more than 100k.

So just before Titanfall is out and after Xbox One's price cut in UK according to VGchartz :

- PS4 : 123,702
- Xbox One : 67,344
- Wii U : 35,504

Just saying...

The pricecut is for the Titanfall bundle that comes out tomorrow in the UK.

Also these sales don't include the Titanfall bundle WW. Just standard Xbox Ones.

The price cut was immediate in the UK on the solus version, but still think people would wait for the free game with titanfall bundle

Solus means standard version? But oh ok I thought it was for the Titanfall bundle and everything after the 14th.

With this "that" bad numbers, I'm not even sure One could outsell PS4 globally even just one week.
And if NPD shows that VGchartz undertracked PS4's or overtracked One's numbers again, that's almost a sure thing. But I won't be on that unreliable website anymore.

So you people need to worry about the fact that the fight is against PS3 here. Which is bad.

I think the inevitable slight PS4 slow down is gonna happen.

It's still showing numbers between PS360 & Wii if we look back to March 07 week 1 sales (although PS3 didn't have Europe launched at that point).

I guess as it's the market leader that may not be the best sign.

I wonder what PS2's weekly sales were looking like at this point in time.


The PS2 sold as follows in the U.S. according to the NPD:

Oct. 2000: 391,245
Nov. 2000: 187,554
Dec. 2000: 522,239
Jan. 2001: 248,052
Feb. 2001: 233,223
Mar. 2001: 546,572

So, the PS4 had a significantly better launch and a somewhat better first January than the PS2 in the U.S.

Here's how it sold in Japan its first 13 weeks/3 months according to Famitsu:

Week 1: 630,552
W2: 154,245
W3: 71,780
W4: 112620
W5: 165685
W6: 119430
W7: 75704
W8: 74350
W9: 58151
W10: 58151
W11: 43587
W12: 55663
W13: 89957

The PS4 is selling less than the PS2, but it's dropping at a similar rate. It had a bigger drop its second week but a shallower drop its third week. I don't expect it to jump up over the next couple of week, but neither do I expect it to keep bleeding out to PS3-level sales by this summer, either. We'll just have to wait and see.

As for Europe, we don't have any actual sales figures, but according to Sony by March 31, 2001 it had shipped 2,850,000 units, which puts an upper limit on total sales. Assuming a similar sell-through rate as in NA — and assuming the U.S. accounted for 90% of all sales and shipments in NA, that's a sell-through rate of 78.6% —, it could have sold fewer than 2.3 million units. Even a sell-through of 90% gives us 2,565,000 units, a a sell-through of 95% gives us just over 2.7 million. So far the PS4 has sold 2,224,000 units in Europe and could hit 2.4 million by the end of this month. So the PS4 is likely selling roughly on par with the PS2 in Europe, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.

Cool thanks very much for the figures :)

So excluding Japan PS4 seems to be almost or pretty much on par with PS2, so that's good I guess!

What on earth happened in March 2001 to make the PS2 rise so much?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
