I guess 20 million sold can be expected at the end of February, in The Order week...
Also, could a lot of the overtrack be coming from December US numbers? We already saw the heavy overtrack in November, it probably spilled over.
Wonder what this means for XOne... Probably overtracked as well, but we cannot know for certain until MS volunteers some numbers.
| DM235 said: Something doesn't add up... Geoff Keighley said "Sony has announced 18.5M PS4s sold through worldwide to date, including over 4.1M between 11/23-1/4". Reuters said "sales of its PlayStation 4 video game consoles exceeded 18.5 million units as of Jan. 4, up from 13.5 million at the end of October". That means from November 1 to November 22, they only sold 0.9 million (18.5M - 4.1M - 13.5M), or 300k per week? That sounds too low for November. November numbers are usually 1.5x October numbers, and not 1.0x October numbers. I think we'll have to wait for the end of the quarter financials to know for certain. |
you are confusing yourself.
As at gamescon in august, Sony announced it had SOLD TO CONSUMERS 10M PS4s.
in their October financial report they revealed they had SHIPPED 13.5M PS4s as of the end of September from when the PS4 was launched. So no one knows how many PS4s were sold of that 13.5M but we at least know they were more than 10M.
Now they have announced that they have SOLD TO CONSUMERS 18.5M PS4s as at January 4th 2015. we have no idea how many consoles have been shipped now, it could be 20M or even 21M. What we do know is that from august 2014 to January 4th 2015 they sold to consumers, 8.5M PS4ss
10M (from august announcement) + 8.5M (from today's announcememt) = 18.5
Now 4.1M of that 8M sales happened between November 23rd 2014 and 4th of January 2015.
My head can't get around the idea that in its first full year the PS4 sold more than what tbe WiiU and the Vita will ever sell.
Its crazy how well the system is doing.
Why do people think this is sold and not shipped?
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
All we know is that it's over 18.5 million and usually they are probably a couple weeks behind in this announcement. This is CES, not a game show.

I would prefer shipped numbers myself. Will have them in a few weeks though. I dont trust companies to tell the truth on their numbers unless it is to investors.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Kaz' exact words were "sell-through" which is by definition sold to consumers.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Kaz said so at CES
Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
