It's the bad week ;)
The officiel statement said they reached the 10M the next week : http://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-4-sells-10-million-units-sony-reveals-/1100-6421671/

 

Cant wait to see next official numbers to see how many millions they undertracked :D

You are right

Fixed to ~250k undertracked.

I'm pretty sure when Sony are talking about weekly sales they're not talking WW, (or factoring Japan in) probably talking about US/UK/Europe on a like for like basis. In which the last highest non holiday week for PS4 was like 75k in the US.

Not that I doubt it's done as well as it has, these numbers wouldn't surprise me at all, it's clearly doing well WW as shipments are showing that.

I suppose that makes sense.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Those PS4 figures are ridiculous, but the One isn't actually that far behind in the US, all things considered. There might still be a battle there if MS plays their cards right.
Wii U heading back into the 30's, albeit a month or two later than I thought, outsold by about 50% by the PS3 and only 5k ahead of the 360 in its 9th year on the market.
Seeing the potential of the PS4 and One, there can be little doubt any more; the PS4 wins the 8th gen and the One takes second place.


Thank you,

I am always glad to find reasonable people on this forums :)

I used to have a thread that did a very thorough analysis and provided plenty of arguments, and calculations on why X1 is not that far behind PS4 and can easily catch up in a few months if it does the right thing.

But unfortunately it was closed for no particular reason.

I'd like to reiterate my comments which I made before knowing those figures in the OP.

Quote
What Sony gets and MS don't is that it is the online games that require connectivity and lots of friend circles that push most of the sales, exclusive or not.

This is why Sony backed up Destiny heavily as it will help sell more PS4, and those people's friends will also buy one to stay in the circle. This is not a brand effect but rather "network effects", which is exactly why X360 was popular in the past. Sony uses the same tactics against MS this time around.

Yes, not only the exclusives but online games like Destiny have been the true system sellers since the beginning of the 7th generation.

So Titanfall was not an online game?

 

OT: Great numbers for the Ps4. 

 

There is a misunderstanding here. I am implying that a game does not even have to be exclusive to shift MARKET SHARE (not just more consoles) from one console to another. Even though Destiny is available in both consoles with just small differences, Sony was able to move way more consoles because of its advertisement and bundling etc, which will pay back immensely thanks to the network effects in the future. MS tried the same thing, it partially suceeded to move consoles in the English speaking world, but MS just cannot communicate and appeal well to the rest of the world, so its impact remained limited (in addition to a bunch of other effects).



Playstation 5 vs XBox Series Market Share Estimates

Regional Analysis  (only MS and Sony Consoles)
Europe     => XB1 : 23-24 % vs PS4 : 76-77%
N. America => XB1 :  49-52% vs PS4 : 48-51%
Global     => XB1 :  32-34% vs PS4 : 66-68%

There has to be a way to get these people on to online gaming forums and inform them of their awful purchase.

Most of my friends who bought Destiny are really liking it. I suppose that's true for many around the world.

PlayStation/Destiny domination!
PS4 > all other consoles combined lol
XB1 had a decent boost
Wii U and Vita numbers are just dreadful.
