Forums - Sales - PS4: Undertracked by 475.000 at least. 16.6m

Tonight at PSX Shawn Layden came onto the stage and said - "PS4 is the fastest selling console of all-time". Now, if this is indeed true, which it most likely is, then PS4 is (yet again) hugely undertracked on VGC - by at least 475.000. PS4 has now been on the market for 55 weeks, and is currently tracking 16,146,005 million - and in that same time frame of 55 weeks, the original Wii tracked 16,621,029 million.

After 55 weeks


Wii: November 25th 2006 - December 08th 2007 = 16,621,029

PS4: November 16th 2013 - November 29th 2014 = 16,146,005

I'm sure that is more undertracked.

PS4 have sold aroud 17,000,000, and will sell other 5,000,000 on December, for a total of 22,000,000.

17,500,000 in first year... just crazy, above 1M than the Wii.

So am I, but now we certainly know what the minimum is.



Without him giving an exact date on where that is from, it is pretty hard to tell how much undertracking has taken place if any. Sony's latest figures for sold through may be pre-Black Friday



PS4 seems forever undertracked here.

I say with financials will paint a good picture of the overall sales. So hopefully mid January we get them and we can update all around.



 

Agree 100% with you

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Nice catch. While Sony did not announce any sales figures, they did give us a hint on how much the PS4 has sold thus far.



I always expected Ps4 to be undertracked here so nothing new. But still eludes me why its always undertracked.



Where are you getting your Wii figures from? If that's from vgc then its a bit weird to use vgc data to disprove vgc data. If you get what i mean?
