[Bold One]

yh, thats pretty decent

 

[Toki767]

Also 10.9 million PS+ subscribers.

 

[StoopKid]

Ps4 is a beast.

 

[Andrefpvs]

What were the previous known numbers (and when)?

 

[Bloodrage]

Daaaaamn

 

[Savantcore]

Holy shit.

 

[IvorB]

Wow. In a year?

 

[wapplew]

Not even 20m? Age of Sony is done.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Nice! Wonder when they will hit 20 million?

By March?

 

[Chobel]

Shipped or sold-through?

Looks to be sold-through.

 

[Carl]

Ri-donkey-lous

 

[GeoramA]

Nearly 20 mil already?

And that's with no price drop. Great job, Sony.

 

[Mpl90]

Shipped or sell-through?

 

[loaf of bread]

Nice! Wonder when they will hit 20 million?

By March?

Easily

 

[Occam]

Well done!

 

[orochi91]

1.5 million from that glorious 20m mark.

Can the PS4 hit 100m by the end of year 5?

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I need this info in pie chart format, stat.

 

[Dead Prince]

Shipped or sold-through?

Shipped to an island

 

[King_Moc]

That seems like an awful lot for only a little over a year. It can't be tracking too far behind the original Wii, surely? Amazing how they did it with just a solid, but not amazing line up.

 

[VanWinkle]

That's a lot of PS4s.

 

[David___]

 

[Bgamer90]

Consoles are doomed!

 

[ChaosXVI]

Wow...that's a fucking lot...but I guess I don't really know what else to add? So does that make it the fastest selling one ever? Or does that honor still belong to the Wii?

 

[udivision]

Wait, what?
WHAT?
What was the last number?

 

[Jonboy]

Shipped or sold-through?

Sold-through, per Kagari on twitter.

"That's sold through. 4.1 million in the holiday shopping season alone."

[Reg]

Higher than the 17m I was predicting.

 

[Kagari]

Shipped or sold-through?

Sold to consumers.

 

[onQ123]

Beast'n

Edit: I was close

They are close to 10 million as I type this & Nov + Dec will be over 5 million alone. what do you mean 15 million is very very unlikely?

PS4 could be around 19 million by that time.

 

[SDCowboy]

Absolutely insane. Very nice.

 

[everyday math]

Wow

 

[dmr87]

 

[giancarlo123x]

What a beast.

 

[Boke1879]

Shipped or sold-through?

Sold through according to Kagari on twitter. PS4 is a best. I'd say by the end of March it has a real chance of hitting 20mil or beyond that.

 

[J-Rzez]

Good on them, they need a sales success right now. They probably won't drop the price for a while unless they're feeling bold.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Wow

 

[RoboPlato]

This surpasses the Wii's first year, right?

 

[Exokell]

Time to temporarily cut prices again xbox.

 

[Carl]

What were the previous known numbers (and when)?

It was 10 million at the beginning of August. So 8.5 million in 5 months i guess?

 

[libregkd]

Wait, what?
WHAT?
What was the last number?

Not sure when the last number was, but the console was at 10 million back in the middle of August.

 

[EmptySpace]

wait, what?

numbers before psx was at -13 million, no?

 

[Darknight]

yh, thats pretty decent

Decent? Im AMAZED. Wow.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

That's quite impressive.

 

[Chobel]

Sold to consumers.

That's very impressive.

 

[MLCodest]

Big ups to Sony. That's incredible. Can't wait to pick mine up soon.

 

[wachie]

So long Xbox One and Wii U in the distance.

 

[funkystudent]

Blimey

 

[Nhutty]

That's a good effort, is it on track for GOAT?

 

[Acquiescence]

Crazy numbers. Imagine how well this thing is going to sell when the killer exclusives start rolling in. Uncharted 4 is going to send the PS4 into the stratosphere.
