Thoughts?
Plus Kinda lame they just say "80M+ MAU" because they dont want to give out how many active users are on PS3/Vita.
They also mention they are "aiming" for the 100M+ MAU as their next Goal.

The 79m figure is shipped as of march 31st 2018, this lines up perfectly with their forecast.

Its not sold through? a guy on resetera said "So for Sony, we have actual MAU, shipment and sell through numbers? Nice"

Nah, the last sales to consumer figure we got was 73.6m as of December 31st 2017. They shipped 19m units last FY bringing the total number of shipments to 79m as of March 31st 2018.

This information is basically just a repeat of what they already released last month.

Also the 80m+ MAU may include PS3/Vita users, after all not everyone is going to be connected to the internet, and not everyone is going to connect every month. Though equally there can be multiple users per console too, so regardless even if they gave us the exact figure we couldn't extrapolate much from it.

How does this MAU compares to Xbox?

I think that was like 59m?
But that includes PCs, Switch (minecraft), Mobile apps?, Xbox 360 ect.

So I guess Sony showed their MAU at this time so MS can't say they have the highest in the world at E3.

I'm guessing that's 60m PS4 + PS3 and 20m Vita. Vita undertracked confirmed!

It's obvious that PS4 and PS3 completely overlap and there isn't any being used at the same time =p also no dual accounts used in the same HW.

PS4 has sold 76.1 million, not 79 million. The 79 number is shipped.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
