Why are people claiming the PS4 is overtracked? If anything, it's still being undertracked overall, but it's good to see that they've adjusted it somewhat.


by what logic? because it was undertracked in summer it has to be undertracked in fall, too?

btw. ps4 is overtracked in the us by 70k units

 

imho everything is possible right now. undertracked, overtracked or near spot on ( +/- 150 - 200k worldwide)


Because it was undertracked since the launch, everytime sony announced official sales


yes, but after the 10m ioi said they changes something in theire way to crunch up the numbers. (not by just adding 700k to row and europe sales)

so maybe they fixxed it, or there are new unexpected sales bump for ps4 what cause aditional undertracked numbers.

 

as i said both is possible.

1.55m september ps4 sales

 

 

whole europe is nearly the same as us right now ltd for lts figure

 

september was 650k in europe while 538k for us

that leaves ~330k for row

 

do u think that is heavily undertracked?

so while ps4 is selling 538k in the us it sells 1.2 outside of the us (if we suspect the ps4 is undertracked here, it has to sell that amount) with abysmal japan numbers? us marketshare below 30%. i hardly doubt that.

 

 

but it doenst matter. we have to wait for the end of the year to get new numbers form sony. before we will never find out

See Destiny review has no effect on it it's leg it's not bad at all

Yeah, word of mouth appears to be reviewers kryptonite.  Which I think is how it should be.



I just hope Sony will announce numbers at PS Experience. Any old numbers will do.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

They wont be announcing anything before 20 million mark. I dont think 20 million is possible unless Sony decides to use 20 million shipped numbers. So we have to wait.

They improved, that's true, maybe it's undertracked by only 200now.

 

We'll have to wait for official numbers to see ( the problem is, maybe they are good to track the sales now in a normal week without huge games but i think it will be very hard for them with Far Cry 4+ GTA V + COD + Unity , November and december will be completly undertracked, because they have no way to know how much these games will impact PS4 sales, that's why there is often big adjustments for november and december  in january, so we should wait for january after official announcement )



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Did the 360 fall off a cliff that quickly in Japan? Those XBO numbers are horrifying.

Anyhow, the 3DS dropped kind of a lot it seems. I know there's still some stock shortages, but that much?
VGC continuing to fix their mistakes. Everything else is in line with suckishness.

Lol. Nope. My point was PS4 will have "monopoly" like sales in Japan when FF XV hits. English is not my native language but here we use "one sided" as favor for one side / team / opinion. I hope you understand.

We use 'one sided' in the same way here in Britain too. I think he's just playing.

Thanks for the information.

I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Assuming these numbers are relatively correct and will stay like this for the rest of October, also assuming that the PS4 is going to have similar holiday growth as the PS3, so November is about 2x October and December is about 2x November, if we assume those things then we can estimate that the PS4 will be around 19 mil at the end of the year.

Could end up enitrely different though.
