So does Wii and Xbox. But they never get praised for an install base of 40K. |
Because neither have of them have an install base of 40k. Is the Wii U even out there?

If those platforms had the same install base there there would be no praise.
People would say something like... "why do they even bother releasing their console there?"
Anyhow, forget I'm here. I'm just confused by the celebrating.

Celebration? It's tracking ahead of every console last gen. It's doing well. Posting said good news and stating the obvious isn't cheerleading.

This wasnt meant to be a celebration thread, although the growth is a positive.
I was just sharing the news, its quite rare that we get actual numbers from one of the "other" regions. I also think that the numbers are more than what people would expect. I remember getting into a discussion with someone here who said that launch period numbers in SA wouldnt be above 2k. Given that we are already at 40k I would say more than 2k was likely for launch period.
The Wii dominated last gen, even in South Africa. The 360 also made big inroads in PS market share, last gen. The delayed launch of X1 has severly impacted the landscape though, shifting momentum back to PS. The WiiU is also struggling quite badly here.
If i see any articles for any other console sales in SA i will be sure to post them :) If X1 can match these numbers then it would be unprecendented in SA and would definitely deserve praise.

No that big actually, here in morocco, we had 50 consoles on launch day in my local Virgin store, they flew within seconds. I think we'd have over 40k now but it's mostly imported from Europe. Few "Legal" stores exist here, and in all Africa. |
You really feel morocco will have equal sales to SA...hmm im not sure about that. Would be nice to have raw numbers to compare.
That being said, apart from the handful of the top African economies the rest would be far behind.

GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135098920&postcount=222 They have for first 10 months for PS3 too. PlayStation 3 - 28,500 (April 2007 - February 2008) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135100864&postcount=235 That is why the news says > 40% for PS4 compared with PS3 in the same period. |
Did someone on GAF post it before i posted it on Vizioneck :?
Would have been nice to have been the first to post the news lol XD Even though its just a normal artcle :/

That's good numbers and it's nice to see the PS4 tracking ahead of its predecessor in South Africa
