1.7 million in January and February.....that is insane.
Chances of 40 million by the end of this year if there's a price cut?

Wii U has shipped 9.20 million consoles as of December 31st, 2014.

Probably a little much considering that this is a traditionally slow time of year. Bloodborne will move some consoles, but not that many consoles- similar to a lot of other big exclusives, its audience is predominately people who probably already own the console.
Which makes all the "sky is falling" posts in those NPD threads look funny. It's a damned tsunami wave outside of the USA.

It just did 1.7 million in the slowest months of the year. Another 4.8 million in the next 4 months isn't entirely out of the question but it may be tough
Yeah I did not expect almost 2 million for these months,dont look like its slowing down.

Nahhhh man!
Way higher than that.
If there is over 20 million sold, its gotta be like 24 million shipped.

Not that they need to anyways, they are selling well enough without a price drop. I was hoping to snag one when it hit $350 but I can just wait for a deal to come up.

Most interesting is that P5 leads off the list.

It's a good news story. Good console, launched at a good price, has some great games coming out etc...
So I am happy. I'd be happier if Nintendo was doing better as well but can't win em all. They shit that bed.

Are you saying they failed to fully capitalize?
To be fair, this time last year PS4 was sold out in a lot of places in europe.

Yeah I personally know 10 people who are holding out for Suspend/Resume
Wat, PS4 is probably more sold than Xbone and Wii U combined and you say that it's an ok number?
Dragonborn

Man, if Japan wasn't dead the PS4 would be beating even more
PS2 can't be compared that fairly due to the very delayed Western launch compared to the Japanese one.

Are casuals buying the PS4 as well as the previous (very well treated by Sony)PS3 owners? It's just difficult for me personally to see what is so appealing about this console to be selling to the mass market. Nothing wrong with it selling great, congrats to Sony, I'm just not getting why.
