Forums - Sales Discussion - Sony: 60.4 million sold through to consumer (ps4)

Do these numbers factor in the Pro? Curious to see the Pros numbers.

Pretty good either way.

Very good numbers, PS is still strong.

They'll deny it right up to the day it happens. 

And on that day they'll accuse Sony of lying about it

We dont live in a world of hypotheticals and *if this or that's* though.

Time aligned is just date to date.

PS4 is still tracking ahead of the PS2.

it makes absolutely no sense to compare them the way most people do on this site.

the fact that PS2 was only available in Japan for the first 8 months needs to be taken into account for an accurate comparison.

how can someone say PS4 is doing better if each region is doing worse?

The fact that Japan basically died after PS2 should also be take in consideration then? Make an alignment taking Japan out of both consoles and see how they fare.

Let's not forget that the first five months of 2017 were crazy. I'm sure several of us are still backed up by at least a couple of games. I can fully see why so many PS4s sold, especially with a megaton like Horizon dropping at the end of February.

Aww that's cute, I wish I was only backed up by a couple of games, hey, even five games would be amazing... try a backlog of 40 games, lol :P So many games, so little time! 

I know your pain.

8 game attach ratio? Almost Wii level greatness. This console just keeps on steamrolling.

Well PS3 and X360 had even more than this so perhaps PS4 can cross 10.

PS4Pro represents 20% of the new sales since release, so about 3M so far.

PS4 will sell it's first 100M in the 7 years on the market, than it will decline. Beware of frontloaded meaning more time than the duration of the gen.

More excuses will come to diminish what PS4 has accomplished. It's hilarious at this point. Sony will keep dominating. 2018 is looking like it'll already be a better year than 2017 and this was a great year. These sales are just another reason why you cannot rely on vgchartz numbers.



The end of year, cant wait. The PS4 has a amazing chrismas-time this year, so many big and awesome games coming !!

Which is why its haveing its fastest selling Q1 this year.

Do you expect it to sell like 18m this year, and next year its sales drop off a cliff?

if your post was sarcasm and I didnt catch it, sorry.



PS4 is beasting! It's really doing great! And that's good for the entire industry



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Got my Pro this April, happy to contribute
