how does this compare with previous consoles and gens?

After 46 Weeks on the Market (Media Create)

PS3: 1,156,561
PS4: 1,012,883

That's nice, I just had VGC's number. Closer than I thought then! :)

Think PS3 reached the 1 million after 7-8 months. Launched in November 2006 and got to the milestone in July 2007.

200k below PS3 launch aligned.


That's a better number then I tought it would be(for PS4). Might have a chance to pick up or atleast hang onto the PS3 with all the gams releasing this year that will interest the Japanese audiance.

It's crazy how well the ps4 is doing globally and average it is in its home country. Maybe its late adoption but if the ps4 can't attract the Japanese market, console gaming has to be considered dead there.

Without any good games PS4 did this well in a country where home console is struggling. With price drop and bloodborne, final fantasy xv, type-0, dragon quest, yakuza zero it will be complete PS4 domination. Loving the current status.

So much for people complaining it wouldn't pass it by 2014 end.

Huh, I guess it's different here.

It's 2014 for VGC though. But VGC may not quite have it at 1m by Jan 4.

Yes and yes,vgc gets the average from famitsu and media create,so it won't be 1m here,as it  961k on Famitsu!I would like Japanese and european trackers to consider that week part of 2014,like npd does!
