On top of selling more than 2 million PSVR Units, over 328 thousand registered RE7 players have tried the game in VR. That's almost up to 12% now of the total registered RE7 userbase (including XBox and PC)

The gold edition with all content will be out on the 12th. I wonder if that will put another surge on the numbers. I know I'll be playing it again.

This whole alligning launches across generations makes no sense to me. It's all just semantics. 

Things were different then as they are different now. If Sony could have made enough PS2s to have a global launch then they would never done it. But back then we didn't have the manufacturing might that is China now and those consoles were made in Japan.

Exactly. and what's really funny about this is that all the people talking about aligning stuff are ignoring one very crucial detail. 

in all those months before the launch of the PS2 in NA and Europe. they had managed to ship only 3.5M units. That number jumped to 6M+ total shipped units after the release in the other territories. 

Sony sold through (not shipped) more than 4M PS4s in 6 weeks. 

Bruh, that's the point... Of course the PS2 sold a lot slower in its first 9 months because it was only available in Japan...

yh of course. and not because it was only available in Japan cause Sony couldn't make enough consoles back then. 

I'm just saying that the reason the PS4 is ahead of the PS2 launches aligned is because the PS2 was Japan only for 9 months... You guys are making this way too complicated lol...

And we are saying that launch aligning stuff is pointless if you are trying to compare a staggered launch to a global launch. Cause the comparison is always slanted. 

At the end of the day what's important is how many consoles can be shipped. If Sony could ship more consoles they would have done so but they couldn't. Same way how even with the PS4 they couldn't release in every territory on launch day. the PS2 was in Japan only for 9 months because that's the only territory their available stock could manage until they could ramp up production. 

I honestly can't tell if you are disagreeing with me or not because I can't see the relation between what you are talking about and the original discussion... If you align the launches by region, the PS2 is ahead.

Damn good sales. I wonder what they'll get by the end of the year.

So, if the 3.4M is achieved, shipments should be about 77M. That leaves 2M to be shipped in Q4 to achieve the target of 79M by March 2018.
