the tweet seems to suggest that BF was the best period for PS4 ever, not the Playstation brand ever, no?

Great sales, and depending on pricing I could see 2017 being even better.

Software sales are now at 369.6million games sold across retail and digital http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-sales-pass-50-million-units-worldwide/1100-6446051/

Attach ratio of 7.392:1

great attach ratio if it doesn't include PS Plus games

So, estimating that PS4 reached 50 millions, do you thing Xbox one reached 30 milions

Someone posted a link showing the Xbox One was around 22m units sold by end of september..

Im pretty sure the xbox one is below 30m right now.

Last Gaurdian will help some. Gravity Rush 2, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Resident Evil VR, Yakuza 0, Nioh (Team Ninja), and Horizon Zero Dawn in the coming months

It certainly doesn't include PS Plus Games. Otherwise the Digital Ratio would be FAR higher than 18-20%, hell it'd probably be above 50%. xD

I don't think XBO has quite reached 30 million yet. 26-27 seems more likely, but who knows really. (microsoft do).

So it's technically confirmed that PS4 sold 2m in the black Friday week... ;)

oh ok thanks, tweet made it sound otherwise

great numbers for Sony then. They were up slightly in the UK from last year, good chance they are up in the US too
