Support NeoGAF

[AAK]

Any chance Sony might rehire those top tier developers they fired at SSM now that they can see there are a lot of systems out there in need of games?

 

[JLeack]

Six mirrion units!? Oh mai.

Sony is beginning to remind me of the stampede in Jumanji. Get out of the way or get stomped.

 

[artist]

Sorry for the blurry gif, its in 960i.

 

[Unknown One]

Wow thats awesome. They were hoping for 5 million by march.

I remember GAF thinking it was crazy to sell that amount by March. It was pre-launch of course.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Really want to know what xbone is at . What was the last figure, 3.2 million? Guessing we won't hear from MS until after March when xbone will likely outsell ps4 for the month.

 

[A_Gorilla]

It is possible to guess Feb NPD numbers from this?

 

[Steel]

309K the first week.

First 2 days actually, but details.

 

[plasmawave]

700,000 sold in Japan? Seemed like it did a ok launch.

I doubt that lol

370k for Japan and the rest comes from the rest of the world.

 

[ieatzombies]

Congrats to Sony. Amazing

 

[razgriz417]

god damn Sony

 

[PranooY]

309K the first week.

Its for first 2/3 days, isn't?

On topic: Damn, impressive....

[UltimateRemag]

I said God dam!!!

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

6 million without any real system sellers... besides Knack is really impressive.

 

[Zee-Row]

309K the first week.

Doesn't seem too bad by Japan standards.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

370k units sold in Japan.

i'm not so sure, maybe in the U.S but definitely not WW. If sony outsells microsoft in the US in march, that would be very bad news.

 

[dc89]

6m is a fantastic achievement!

 

[outunderthestars]

Sony continues to sell every PS4 they can make. Kind of amazing given the lackluster launch lineup.

 

[Sendou]

First 2 days actually, but details.

Its for first 2/3 days, isn't?

Well during the first calender week it was on market*.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Nice pace, great news for console gamers.

I expect that number to drop sharply when news spreads of Killzone MP not being true 1080p.

Spoiler

792p

/10

 

[hodayathink]

What were their projections for the end of this quarter?

Unofficially, 5 million PS4s. Officially, 15 million PS3+PS4 for the year by the end of March. I believe they needed about 4 million in this quarter to hit that number.

 

[Strike]

 

[travisbickle]

so that's like less than 350k to split between EU and NA since Feb8th?

Prefer an exact number of sales before I rush to change my NPD prediction.

 

[krypt0nian]

This is the console that requires no system sellers.

That's gotta piss off some people.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

6 million without any real system sellers... besides Knack is really impressive.

Well that didnt take long lol

 

[shungokusatsu]

i'm not so sure, maybe in the U.S but definitely not WW. If sony outsells microsoft in the US in march, that would be very bad news.

Yeah, I meant NPD. Pretty clear that's what MS is aiming for with the game bundled free. I can't think of any bundle that had an AAA game bundled free, especially less than 4 months from the consoles debut.

 

[Mrbob]

Great worldwide sales but I think this shows the February npd numbers will be fairly low due to lack of supply. Expecting sub 200k.

Of course this means the March bounce will be huge if supply comes back.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Cool wonder if they'll hit 7 million by end of March

 

[1st Course]

Well deserved.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

370k units sold in Japan.

Here is a google translated link.

Those second week Japanese sales are uh...something else. Kind of officially worried about the console market over there.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Cool wonder if they'll hit 7 million by end of March

Easily with infamous and MGSV.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Sony making it rain

PlayStation®4 (PS4&#8482 Sales Surpass 6.0 Million Units Worldwide In Less Than 4 Months Since Launch, Rapidly Popularizes A New Way To Enjoy Social Interaction Through Gaming

OKYO, March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that the PlayStation®4 (PS4&#8482 computer entertainment system has cumulatively sold through more than 6.0 million units*1 globally as of March 2, 2014 (JST). This also includes the 370,000 units sold through in Japan since its launch on February 22.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...ial-interaction-through-gaming-248315741.html

Killzone Shadow Fall has officially sold more than 2.1 million.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Well that didnt take long lol

Im not pissing on the parade and the Knack thing was sarcasm. Warframe is the only thing keeping my PS4 active until Second Son arrives.

 

[Cragvis]

People buy the hardware for...the hardware...

 

[outunderthestars]

Yeah, I meant NPD. Pretty clear that's what MS is aiming for with the game bundled free. I can't think of any bundle that had an AAA game bundled free, especially less than 4 months from the consoles debut.

GAF will explode if Sony still outsells MS. It will be a bloodbath of meltdowns, bans, and utter chaos.

 

[IN&OUT]

Sony : " Deja Vu"

MS: "Damn, not again!"

Nintendo: "oh well..."

SEGA: " Glad I'm not in this anymore!"

 

[TheCloser]

Yeah, I meant NPD. Pretty clear that's what MS is aiming for with the game bundled free. I can't think of any bundle that had an AAA game bundled free, especially less than 4 months from the consoles debut.

Smells like desperation. It's still a weak bundle though, you can find an infamous bundle with 1yr of ps+ for the same price. Since titanfall is online only, you still have to purchase xbl. Seems like a pointless bundle to me without the inclusion of minimum 3mth xbl.

 

[lupinko]

All this belongs to me.

/dude from knack err PS4

 

[Dark_castle]

Let's see how much Second Son will boost PS4 sales.

 

[Vilam]

Congrats Sony! Best console, best sales. All's right in the world.

 

[shungokusatsu]

GAF will explode if Sony still outsells MS. It will be a bloodbath of meltdowns, bans, and utter chaos.

I want to say no chance in hell, but I forgot infamous and MGSV hit this month. My poor, poor wallet.

 

[ElTorro]

And people thought that Sony's target of 5 million by the end of March was ridiculous.

I just hope that console sales won't flatline after all the enthusiasts have gotten their unit.

 

[artist]

Killzone Shadow Fall has officially sold more than 2.1 million.

First 2 mil seller for next-gen.

 

[Zornack]

It is possible to guess Feb NPD numbers from this?

5.3 million as of Feb 8th, 6 as of March 2nd, 370k to Japan, that leaves 330 between Europe and America.

200k / 130k? I don't know what European numbers look like.

 

[krypt0nian]

Let's see how much Second Son will boost PS4 sales.

I don't think you can sell more than Sold Out.

 

[bebop242]

i'm not so sure, maybe in the U.S but definitely not WW. If sony outsells microsoft in the US in march, that would be very bad news.

If ps4 outsells xbox one in the US in March, it will be full on panic mode for MS.

 

[Anth0ny]

later wii u

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Million seller Knack confirmed?

I don't think Knack has sold a million but it might be pretty close. Sony only announced sales figure for KZ: SF and they could have mentioned Knack if it sold 1 million, but they didn't.

 

[vooglie]

Wow.

Well, I got my PS4 y'day as well in anticipation of infamous. I have to say, PS4 has no games. Resogun is nice, but otherwise it is a barren wasteland. Strange that so many million ppl are buying.

Really?
