Well Neogaf is down because of the news. Not sure about the Japanese one though.

Wait wut. They sold 4.1 million between November 23 to January 4? Yeah they probably sold just a little above 3 million in December, maybe even a little below 3 million.

Going by that, VGC was over tracking the PS4 by ~360k by Week ending Nov 22

Since that period includes BF week I bet PS4 sold perhaps around 2.9m or so in Dec.

I'm surprised it was over tracked. Most people thought it was under tracked so this is a surprise. The number of PSN accounts are pretty impressive though. It will overtake Xbox live gold this year.

How much does Xbox Live Gold have?

18m as of Feb 2014. Might be lower now cause people aren't renewing their Gold subscriptions on the 360.

Nope. 18.5 million hardware/81.8 million software is official. By Jan 2.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2015/01/05/ps4-sells-over-18-5-million-units-worldwide-81-8-million-ps4-games-sold-at-retail-and-digital/

It only says PlayStation Plus subscribers surpassed 10.9 million as of January 2nd. Sales were as of the 4th, as per Geoff Keighley

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

My guess is that the over tracking is 400k in September, 300k in October and 300k in November. A lot of that should come from Europe

Actually, it must've been at 14.4m as of the week ending 24th Nov, so it needs to be adjusted 400k down to that point. Then it sold 4.1m across the last 6 weeks of the year (including BF week). So My guess would be 900k, 600k, 750k, 900k, 650k, 300k

Read the post again.

Um, the only times a date is given is the 4th for software sales, and the 2nd for PSPlus subscribers.Geoff Keighly then said that 18.5 million was up to 1/4/2015
