It also generated the most revenue for the U.S.. More then any other console ever.

That is also a interesting fact from the OP link.

Indeed, truly staggering figures.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Hmm, 13.5 million shipped and 13 million sold. Guess we wont be getting any 20million sold announcements December. Still a very good feat. They have basically sold out almost all consoles to consumers. VGC is pretty much very accurate with PS4 numbers i guess


It's 13.5 million shipped as of September 30th. VGChartz had the PS4 at 11.4 million sold through at that point. The PS4 is wwwaaaayyyyy undertracked here.

 

To give an example,  Sony announced 10 million sold through as of August 10th. VG has the PS4 at 9.74 million the week ending August 9th and that's after adjusting it up after the news...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

pretty much a know quantity though.  i mean,.. it's selling on par with wii unit wise so far but doing so at a price tag that is $150 higher.



I think Sony will aim to ship at least 20M by the end of this year, so 1.5M for October, 2.5M by the end of November and another 2.5M in December, putting that together with the 13.5 by the end of September.

Isn't that what was estimated at the end of September after the financial report anyway?

I believe this is the first time we have firm numbers for the year however. 

13.5mil for the first year is very very strong though. Very impressive indeed and it can only get better!


I'm pretty sure it said straight up in the financial report that they'd shipped 13.5 million by end of september.

The 1 billion hours played online on PS4 is a more impressive stat, as 5 million PS4 owners don't have PS Plus subscriptions.

Online can still be played in F2P titles

Yeah, I totally forgot about the F2P titles. I have not played a single one on my PS4. The number is still impressive though.

But I will play Planetside 2 for sure.

Some are very popular, like Warframe, War Thunder and DC Online
