Good job Sony, now give us free game Jak & Daxter only on PS4 please.

Yep. And people want to act like sales are just okay, or even disappointing. Of course, they like to look at a specific area, while disregarding any reasoning for sales being below their expectations. With the big picture, however, the PS4 is here and it is stomping ass.

Speaking of which, it'll be interesting to see what China does for the PS4. If it becomes a big market, I wouldn't be surprised if PS4 gets close, if not matches, the PS2.

Are we sure they included Japan on those Asia number?

Ps2 had sold like 3.5M in this 9 months on Japan only and for Ps4 to be so above it if sum with na and europe would go above 10M.

Anyone know what countries are picking up the slack? PS3 had a bad launch in Japan because of stock but to be ahead of PS2 means there must be some countries that have really grown


i would say middle east has atleast a little to do with it. gaming here is becoming bigger and bigger. the older generations who grew with PS1 and PS2 are still buying consoles for the most part, and new generations are also coming in. CoD and specially Fifa are huge here as well. 


That and the usual suspect of Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. Those countries has always have a good console fanbase.

And that includes Japan, right? Very surprising considering how well PS2 did in Japan.

Looks like the Asian market is growing, which is a good sign. Hopefully, PS4 does really well in China, too.

Can't be... just in launch PS2 sold 300k more than PS4 in Japan (like 600k total)... so just that if put 3x would mean PS4 sold 1.8M (aligned sales) in Asia, plus the following months... the sum with NA and Europe would have already crossed 10M for a long time...

Haven't PS2 reached 3.5M in the first 9M in Japan??? 3x would be 10.5M and that is what PS4 sold WW not just Asia.

Maybe Sony actually meant PS2 got outsold in Asia by PS4 globally.

Which makes me wonder why everyone is thinking China will go Xbox when they release there. Literally every country in the world (where they're both released) is going Playstation right now.


We'll see about that. US and UK have a fighting chance. a ton of my friends are waiting for slim 



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion
