Support NeoGAF

[Mrbob]

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.

Sony bundled Knack in Japan. But that game is AAAA.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Oh maybe the software number is legit too here:

Valtteri Hyttinen @VHyttinen
4 months since release and 6 million #PS4 sold through world wide! 13,7 million games! #4ThePlayers

He's the Finnish PlayStation PR and Social Media Coordinator.

13.7 million games? Is there a list of the best selling PS4 games anywhere?

 

[Alchemy]

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

I don't see any way that the Xbone outsells the PS4, even with the Titanfall pack in. There are only so many bros in NA willing to plunk down $500 that haven't already bought one.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Sony bundled Knack in Japan. But that game is AAAA.

Bundled free ?

 

[Hexa]

Man, with all the bad Sony news swirling around, this is a great way to end the day.
Good job Sony. Keep that train going!

 

[UnluckyKate]

What were their projections for the end of this quarter?

I think the projection was 6 millions by the end of march. They had reach it one month ahead

 

[Unknown One]

Really?

COD
BF
AC
TR
FIFA

Don't count because multi plat or cross gen.

/s

 

[JimmyRustler]

But GAF told me console gaming is dead....

Well done Sony. Deserved and somehow baffling when you consider how little good games there are on PS4. Sony better up their production because once autumn comes that things is going to explode!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

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

People forget they are doing this while still not meeting all demand.

 

[soxinthebox]

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.

The OG Xbox had a massive price cut within a month (IIRC) of launch and for those who bought early at full price they got 2 games (including Halo) and a controller.

I am giving it serious thought. It is a good bundle.

 

[JayEH]

Sony is killing it. I'm really interested in Xbox numbers now.

 

[viveks86]

Wow! So they are 1 million over their estimate with 1 month to go! Congrats, Sony!

They have 'officially' surpassed Wii U LTD right?

 

[Benzychenz]

I said damn.

Hopefully these sales transfer into announcements at E3, these next gen consoles need some games!

 

[potam]

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

Now that we're getting into the swing of things games-wise, more people who were on the fence will start to jump in.

 

[shungokusatsu]

This I don't understand.

I think he means the SSM layoffs and cancelled game.

 

[MilkBeard]

WiiU am cry ;(

 

[CoG]

Release a powerful console with no gimmicks at a reasonable price and it sells. Who would have thought?

 

[nelchaar]

I am giving it serious thought. It is a good bundle.

Why? You can get the game on X360 a few weeks later, or PC almost the same day. $500 for one game? Not counting the $60 you would have to pay for Xbox Live..

 

[Reg]

Any idea what the wii u is at?

 

[Mendax]

Any idea what the wii u is at?

5,8m iirc!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

http://scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/140304a_e.pdf

So:

Killzone: Shadow Fall - 2.1 million
Knack
Cod: Ghosts
Fifa 14
Battlefield
Assassin's Creed

In that order?

 

[PBY]

I think he means the SSM layoffs and cancelled game.

That makes sense.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Nice. I contributed two times lol.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I really expected to see the Bone hit 4 million before PS4 hit the 6. Doesnt look good for Microsoft Titanfall better be worth the price they paid.

 

[Unknown One]

5,8m iirc!

That's probably shipped too.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Any idea what the wii u is at?

It was at 5.8m at the end of last year.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

370k in Japan.

1st week in Japan:

309k MC
322k FM

So second week 50-60k

 

[BigTnaples]

Holy shit.


Go get em Sony.

 

[Hexa]

http://scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/140304a_e.pdf

A few of the top selling titles included KILLZONE SHADOW FALL (SCE WWS), which has
already sold over 2.1 million units worldwide, KNACK (SCE WWS), Call of Duty: Ghosts
(Activision), FIFA14 (Electronic Arts), Battlefield 4 (Electronic Arts), and Assassin’s Creed:
IV Black Flag (Ubisoft Entertainment).

If Knack sold well enough to be considered with those, even with the bundles, that's pretty impressive imo.

 

[Anth0ny]

Wow! So they are 1 million over their estimate with 1 month to go! Congrats, Sony!

They have 'officially' surpassed Wii U LTD right?

As of December 31, 2013, Wii U was sitting at 5.86 million shipped. Shipped.

These PS4 numbers are sold, right?

 

[kairu]

Can they make Dark Souls 2 for PS4 now?

 

[DieH@rd]

All numbers as of March 2:

6mil PS4 worldwide
370k sold in Japan
13.7mil games sold [retail + digital]
KZSF 2.1 mil sold
100 million shares
3.6 million gameplay broadcasts
56 million spectate sessions
3.6 million PSapp installs

 

[DarkLordMalik]

370k in Japan.

1st week in Japan:

309k MC
322k FM

So second week 50-60k

Seems like it.

 

[IN&OUT]

Quality Sells.

Best hardware.
Best Software.
Great VALUE.

What else can you ask for?

 

[nelchaar]

Damn those Sony numbers! The Return of the King?

Also, so glad KZ:SF is doing so well! 2.1 million units, hot damn!

 

[outunderthestars]

The OG Xbox had a massive price cut within a month (IIRC) of launch and for those who bought early at full price they got 2 games (including Halo) and a controller.

It was a little over five more months. Launched in Nov. Price cut in April after a very sluggish launch in Europe.

 

[SolidSnakex]

So:

Killzone: Shadow Fall - 2.1 million
Knack
Cod: Ghosts
Fifa 14
Battlefield
Assassin's Creed

In that order?

Very doubtful that it's in order. Ghosts is almost certainly the best selling game. I remember Activision mentioning that it was the best selling PS4 game at all major retailers in the US. And FIFA is usually the only game that's charting above it in Europe.

 

[Chobel]

370k in Japan.

1st week in Japan:

309k MC
322k FM

So second week 50-60k

That's really bad number, no?

 

[krypt0nian]

[BigTnaples]

All numbers as of March 2:

6mil PS4 worldwide
370k sold in Japan
13.7mil games sold [retail + digital]
KZSF 2.1 mil sold
100 million shares
3.6 million gameplay broadcasts
56 million spectate sessions
3.6 million PSapp installs

Glad to see Killzone did pretty well with bundles and whatnot.


Not a perfect game, but had some greatness in it that begs for a sequel.

 

[Loudninja]

It was ta 5.3 million on Feb 8th.

On March 2 its over 6 million.

 

[outunderthestars]

Why? You can get the game on X360 a few weeks later, or PC almost the same day. $500 for one game? Not counting the $60 you would have to pay for Xbox Live..

No interest in building a $1000 gaming PC right now, and I am done with the 360. I end up buying all of the consoles anyhow, so might as well get one when there is a decent promotion.

 

[Zornack]

As of December 31, 2013, Wii U was sitting at 5.86 million shipped. Shipped.

These PS4 numbers are sold, right?

PlayStation®4 (PS4&#8482 computer entertainment system has cumulatively sold through more than 6.0 million units

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

Sold through = to consumers, right?

That's really bad number, no?

For a February release with poor Japanese support and virtually zero Japanese games coming anytime soon? Hell no.

It sold well to the base and now it'll drop off until software is announced/released.

Congrats to Sony.
