The install base of the PlayStation 4 has just gone over 40,000, and there are over 300,000 PlayStation 3 consoles in South Africa.

Thats the word from Mario Dos Santos, CEO of Ster-Kinekor Entertainment.

Its a little difficult to gauge [the PS3 install base] because we dont know how many guys have migrated to the next-gen, Dos Santos said.

The uptake of the PS4 compared to the PS3 in terms of life cycle stage is 40% higher, Dos Santos said, with Ster-Kinekor expecting to sell another 70,000 to 100,000 PlayStation 4 consoles in the next year.

Comparison

No XB1 numbers that I'm aware of but there is this thread which shows some LTD's as of June 2008 I believe

LTD [till end of June 08 I think]:
360: 65.000 [21 months?]
WII: 45.000 [9 months?]
PS3: 40.000 [15 months?]

Launch dates:
360 Launch: September 2006
PS3 Launch: March 2007
WII Launch: September 2007

Units per month:
WII: 4.500
360: 2.955
PS3: 2.500

For comparison PS4 has been out since December 2013, so that's around 10 months

So presumably it's tracking closer to the Wii than the 360 or PS3 best I can tell in South Africa. It is notably behind it though

Waiting till Feburary.

Nice, now with South Africa and soon China the PS4 will have captured the biggest EU markets in addition to being a best-seller in America.

Huh so that 300k is kind of impressive then. I wonder what Wii and 360 topped out at

And how is the DS being beat by the PSP in any territory? That's just odd to see. Maybe it was released late there or something
