I was just about to post this, but yeah we're overtracking it then. Doesn't make the numbers any less amazing though.

Er... that's exactly what it does.

This is the first time PS4 global figures are less than I expected. Dang

18.5m is amazing though but 20m is just better.

Given this I bet XB1 has been overtracked outside the US as well. Europe and/or ROW is probably being overestimated in general.

So then it's not the fasting selling console of all time? Well, it probably was at the time of Sony making that statement but the Wii sold more overall in its first year. Pretty interesting considering many people thought it would reach 20m before 2015.

Still a great achievement nonetheless and it's an amazing feat for Sony.

Actually, most people figured it would do 18 million by year's end (myself included). 20 million unit predictions were from a few here or there, but the consensus was 18 million.

You guys were spot on then! I can't say I fault the 20m people though; PS4 has been on fire. Didn't really anticipate it being overtracked.

I believe the PS4 end of 2014 average was 15.7m in the predictions thread.

Edit: Yup, spot on.

Woah, that is a huge over tracking. 18.5m is more than I predicted even a few months ago and an amazing number but still, after all this talk of 20m I feel a little disappointed. I bet its over tracked in all months tbh. September, October and November all seem too high. I wonder where its been over tracked... probably in smaller countries which means other consoles are probably over too
