In what is shaping up to be a historic year for gamers, I’m delighted to share an important new milestone with you. PS4’s North American debut on November 15th was PlayStation’s largest ever, with more than one million gamers picking up a PS4 in just 24 hours. Now, with PS4’s global launch expanding to a total of 32 countries worldwide, including Europe and Latin America, I’m proud to announce that more than 2.1 million PS4s have been sold.

It’s an impressive and record-setting accomplishment for our company and for our industry, and we couldn’t have done it without you. I want to personally thank PlayStation fans, both old and new, for your vote of confidence. The best part: the PS4 journey has just begun. In addition to an incredible lineup of PS4 games from the best developers in the world, we will continue to introduce valuable new features and services to PS4 in the months and years ahead.

foxbeldin · Dec 3, 2013

Look at the number of stream viewers going through the roof now

Infinite_Daremo · Dec 3, 2013

Insane. Always nice to wonder how many would be sold if there wasn't supply issues.

qq more · Dec 3, 2013

Wow! Has any other system sold to that point this quick?

Wynnebeck · Dec 3, 2013

Banderas Awaits indeed!

Cess007 · Dec 3, 2013

A real good start indeed. But don't read too much into this yet

famousmortimer · Dec 3, 2013

Vita sold 2.1 units during that same time frame.

About what I expected. I hope you enjoyed those "Xbox One dominates Black Friday" stories, MS. Last good news for a while.

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Dec 3, 2013

Bu-Bu-Bu Black Friday Bunduru!!

Pop-O-Matic · Dec 3, 2013

Over halfway to beating the Wii U's worldwide sales. And in less than 3 weeks, too.

Exactly. I know plenty of people who didn't get one from the first batch and now have to wait.

Let's pack it up people.

Crimsonlink · Dec 3, 2013

WHOA! Isn't that just a bit less than half of Wii U's WW LTD?

2.1 million in about 2.5 weeks.

!

THEY STILL HAVEN'T LAUNCHED IN ASIA!!!

WTF!

lol

jabuseika · Dec 3, 2013

Pretty sure that's the biggest playstation launch.

UNCMark · Dec 3, 2013

Nice. So if we believe Pachter that they've been manufacturing a million a month since September, restocks should be coming in time for Christmas in all regions. I've been asked by a relative to find one if I can, but it's been impossible to so far (because I refused to leave Thanksgiving early and wait in a line at Wal Mart).

Bam Bam Baklava · Dec 3, 2013

3 mil by end of year is looking mighty likely.

Flopfan · Dec 3, 2013

the return of the king?

the return of the king

here's to 3 million before the year's end

Wii U has shipped 4 million to retailers. A lower amount has sold-through to consumers.

PS4 sold 2.1 million to consumers in a few days after the European launch.

Prompto · Dec 3, 2013

Holy shit

Niceeeee

LOL! The thread got locked while I was providing numbers. With what that "study" suggested, there were 1,500 console sold. Lets do the math accordingly then:

Xbox One sold 465 Units.
Xbox 360 sold 450 Units.
Playstation 3 sold 225 Units.
Playstation 4 sold 225 Units.
Wii U sold 90 Units.
Wii sold 15 Units.

I guess Xbox One sold 240 more units than Playstation 4 on Black Friday on a day where PS4 was sold out?

Xbox One - Playstation Zero!!!111!!

?

Did they announce on the stream how many units they're pushing out in the near future? Can't watch ATM.

KoopaTheCasual · Dec 3, 2013

Don't read into it.

famousmortimer said:

Well the Vita had "too much hype" so it's no wonder why people didn't buy them.

Rhindle · Dec 3, 2013

Pretty much as expected. They divided their supply evenly between NA and EU.

B1gg_Randall · Dec 3, 2013

Got Damn!

SparkTR · Dec 3, 2013

Did they say the split between regions? I was expecting the EU to dramatically outsell the US, but the US accounts for half of that.

Nags · Dec 3, 2013

Great news!

Brad Grenz · Dec 3, 2013

famousmortimer said:

That can't be true. Vita launch in December 2011 in Japan, for one. They certainly hadn't sold through 2.1 million units before launching anywhere else.

GTP_Daverytimes · Dec 3, 2013

spwolf said:

I will guess so, more than likely they sold a million units in the EU.

Juliet's 8½ Spirits · Dec 3, 2013

NPD is going to be really interesting, gaf will definitely be down.

Cow Goes Moo · Dec 3, 2013

What?

There's a playstation awards?

Why do this? We should be happy about any good sales in the gaming industry.

Grats to Sony.
