I what? Goodness. PS4 is a beast. PS4 is the dragon. The king has returned from his slumber. Now the black box will deliver delicious standard and vr experiences for camera all over the world. This is for the players from the north to the south pole. This is for the players on the equator. The tropics of Capricorn and cancer want an answer. If those things don't exist, they wish they did. Why? Because everyone wants to experience this beast. Ask gastan. Ask belle. Ask them about Knack. Ask them about the greatest thing since sliced bread. This is submarine sandwich, drenched in manwich. Causing havoc on the pallet.

What a time to be alive. Witness greatness. It was long awaited

Its cool and all, but i dont understand why its still selling so well.

I mean since its launch, nothing really improved in OS or Services aka PSN. Some of the first Party games for my taste are really uninteresting and really dont provide much if you are multiplayer gamer.

I mean XboxOne IMO does it way better at the moment. Monthly OS Updates, we got a completly redesigned and faster UI, BC and the Games with Gold selection is way better too over the month and with BC even better.

Sure its great that its selling well, but i really cant understand it. Sure the Hardware is better. But cmon nobody can deny that Sony is really lazy so far.

Damn good stuff. I thought it couldn't hit 40 million by the holiday, but it probably will, especially if it drops in price again.

Nice numbers, though some were saying it would hit 40M by end of year.

I suppose those who were saying 40M by end of solar year were referring to shipments, and being around 38-39 millions shipped is possible with these numbers.

Well they're not performing as well as could be hoped, especially when you look at the performance across all three consoles combined compared to this point last generation. Take Wii/Wii U out of the equation and things are healthier though.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Considering the 2016 lineup i am really interested to see how much they will be able to sell ...could be nuts.

What about compared to the PS1/Saturn/N64 or PS2/GC/DC-cycles?

Horizon is not mentioned in the press release for upcoming games from Worldwide Studios...

“We are absolutely delighted that so many customers have selected PS4 as the best place to play throughout this holiday season and that the PS4 community is growing more than ever,” said Andrew House, President and Global CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver innovative entertainment experiences, and look forward to bringing an unprecedented games portfolio from third party developers and publishers and SCE Worldwide Studios, including UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End, New Hot Shots Golf (working title) and The Last Guardian, this coming year.”

For reference, PS4 sales were at 18.5 million at this point last year.

The PS4 install base almost doubled in one year.

Crazy.

So, in a month and a half, another 5.7 mil. PS4's. Well done.
