Forums - Sony - Sony announces 18.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles sold WW

DonFerrari on 06 January 2015

For anyone saying sold through = shipped will Sony have to repeat E3 and say "sitting in customer house" during presentation and then on Twitter?

Why so much denial?

Please explain how that makes sense taking into consideratíon the following know data

1) Sony shipped 13.5M at September 30th
2) Sold through (you claim shipped) 4.1M from November 23rd to January 3rd/4th.
3) Total sold through (which you claim is shipped) 18.5M LTD.

which means in yours thesis Sony shipped 0.9M from October 1st to November 22nd. Which is prep time to holidays, meaning channel stuffing, and this period alone saw more than data in direct sells.

I will be waiting. Wishfull thinking, truth bending and leaps of faith will be considerated by comic relief value but not as arguments.

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.

If a lot of it is overtracking from the US, then yea, I definitely expect the XBO to be overtracked, as well.  I if I remember correctly, XBO was the most overtracked console last November in the US.  Wouldn't surprise me if that happened, again.  Which would mean that XBO may have only barely crossed 10M at this point.

Actually, ps4 was more over tracked than XBO (NOV NPD).

No.

Both were overtracked by 200K.

1056.807-840=216.807 (ps4)

1439.165-1240=199.165 (XBO)

PS4 was more over than XBO.

PS4 was more over than XBO.

When it's that close, it's within enough of the margin of error to call it even, my friend. :)

If we go by %, it isn't that close. But..

Either way, it proves the original user wrong when he thought XBO was more over than ps4. So I don't think I'm wrong for correcting his statement.

Even so the growth isn't much, but since numbers last year were incredible that growth in itself is good news. By vgc numbers have x1 grow yoy in this period? I haven't looked.

If I recall right, MS sold 3 million during the holiday period last year so they will be up as well. Good times :).

More like 1056.807 - 829k =227.807 (ps4)

1439.165-1231=208.165 (XBO)

Just getting it clear.



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

10% is pretty close, at those numbers.
