2017 is looking like a really big year for software.

 

[SneakersSO]

Some people may DOOM by saying even with Pro PS4 is only up by a small amount compared to last year, but i say they probably could have done similar numbers holiday season even without Pro.

I think not having Pro would've allowed a 3rd party bundle which easily would've done similar if not higher numbers.

 

[IgotElbows]

Are they counting Uncharted 4s sold with the PS4s(Like Nintendo always does with Mario Kart)?
Or actual copies sold at retailers?

 

[Noctix]

I kinda hate myself for knowing where this gif is from, sans Nate head.

where is this gif from

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Isnt Statham a grown man with kids? Like ...

 

[Brix]

Such a beast! And with so many games coming up it's going to continue to be successful.

 

[illmatic22]

So... you gonna block yourself Statham?

LMAO

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah I think it's gonna be absolutely gigantic if the big guns don't get delayed

 

[RootCause]

Wonder what numbers GTS can pull off.

 

[Memento]

Wonder what numbers GTS can pull off.

Considering GT6 sold something like 4.5+ million with all the odds against it... I think GTS will sell very well.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Both.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

I believe Detroit, Hot Shots Golf 7, Knack 2, and Dreams have had 2017 dates listed at some point. Oh and Lost Legacy, but I guess we don't know how big that'll be.

I'd love for RDR2 to make 2017, but yeah I've got some doubts as well.

I think shuhei said that detroit and dreams being announced for 2017 in the sizzle reel video was a mistake(along with a few other things in that video)

 

[BaasRed]

What are the total sales for PS4 so far?

 

[TyrantII]

Scorpio.

Potato

 

[Formosa]

Obviously, it's the best console.

 

[Loudninja]

What are the total sales for PS4 so far?

53.4 million.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

What are the total sales for PS4 so far?

53.4M as of Jan 1st, 2017.

More info in the OP.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

So any potential hardware movers for the 1st half of the year

 

[labaronx]

With the releases lined up between now and 2019 and likely price cuts the ps4 could hit impulse buyer levels by end 0f year and for some big releases like god of war and spiderman

 

[Memento]

So any potential hardware movers for the 1st half of the year

Horizon and Mass Effect

Edit: oh Resident Evil 7 too of course!

 

[Loudninja]

So any potential hardware movers for the 1st half of the year

Resident Evil,Horizon Zero Dawn, and Mass Effect.

 

[Equanimity]

So any potential hardware movers for the 1st half of the year

Resident Evil 7, Horizon Zero Dawn and Mass Effect Andromeda.

Edit: beaten, and in the exact same order :s

 

[BaasRed]

Thanks guys, very impressive sales so far!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

So any potential hardware movers for the 1st half of the year

Mass Effect and Horizon but I think it is more about collective power from software over the first half rather than any singular force.

 

[jroc74]

So, maybe over 100 million is possible?

Sony stays killing it with home consoles....damn.

 

[Formosa]

A little off topic here... but damn Sony also revieled their new TV line up hours today. I want that OLED!!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yeah, I think ~110M is an upper limit.

 

[Fat4all]

I think the biggest draw for me has been the variety.

While there aren't a whole lot on my top 10 list, the large swath of Japanese games that make their way over is fantastic. In 2017 alone there are potentially three Yakuza games coming (unless 6 gets pushed), which has me all sorts of excited.

Yakuza 6 was confirmed for an Early 2018 release.

 

[jroc74]

I will never forget doubting those from SalesGAF predicting 100 million. I wont doubt yall so much anymore, lol.

 

[Super_Cobra]

Omg just imagine if Japan was relevant for the PS4 like they were for the ps2.

 

[Fat4all]

Yakuza 6 was confirmed for an Early 2018 release.

Ah, for some reason I was thinking it was originally December 2017, but that makes sense.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Ah thanks for the responses everyone. Gonna be a great time for games

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Omg just imagine if Japan was relevant for the PS4 like they were for the ps2.

The PS4 had a bad first year in Japan. Had it established a higher baseline, Japan sales would look much better now.

 

[sirronoh]

That bait and subsequent tweet is sad and embarrassing.

Anyway, impressive numbers from Sony. At the beginning of this decade we heard a lot about the end of consoles and how mobile was going to completely take over. Mobile gaming did go on to create a massive market but it turns out there are still tens of millions of people who want the variety of gaming experiences that consoles offer. 2017 is going to be amazing.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Gimme a nice KH3 limited edition pro and I'll buy a second ps4 Sony.

 

[ricelord]

So... you gonna block yourself Statham?

lol man

 

[wapplew]

4th year now, look like growth reach peak.
Slim is out pro is out, can't see how they top 2016. $199?

 

[Loudninja]

The PS4 system is currently available in 123 countries and regions*7 worldwide.

This seems really impressive

 

[univariate]

Very well deserved. I own all three consoles, and I think the PS4 has the best UI among other things––it's just so much more snappy than my Xbox One S (which I've grown to despise).

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yeah, $199 will be a part of it but it will also come down to how big the software is. If it is another repeat of this year, PS4 will be down YoY.

 

[PeterLegend]

Playstation is bigger worldwide than Xbox by a large margin.

Sony taking back or at least having a slight lead in US was really important.

 

[Memento]

The right combo could do it: Holiday season at $199, Destiny 2 bundle, RDR2 bundle and Battlefront 2 bundle. God of war in the holiday would cement it.

[xxracerxx]

I like the use of Scorpio sign for the M in Statham, really cements the commitment.

 

[olimpia84]

Incredible sales, if they keep pushing quality software they will keep selling even more.

 

[Fat4all]

I'm thinking holidays next year: Slim $199 bundled with game (Mid-Late released game bundle, CoD Bundle), Pro $299-349 (If $349, then bundled with game).

Maybe a slight drop on PSVR as well.

It is the big draw for me as well.

Consider they show they had at E3 2016 and then 6 months later at PSX 2016 and how wildly different the content was between the two. 6 months from now they have another E3 and I would bet there is little crossover with the great show they had at PSX.

The sheer content and the differences among it is highly appealing to me.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Scorpio.

It was a good run Sony.

Spoiler

Stop drunk posting.

In vacuum maybe, next holiday they will face heavy competition from Nintendo and MS.
Hard to pull off another YoY up.
