Well, those are shipped, but at the beginning Wii sold almost anything it shipped, so I added it:
PS4 is the fastest selling home console in history so far.

People already explain but you think they sold 700k to 800k in one month ?
The best MS can be at is 3.6 million and that is if they sold just as good in EU as NA (which i doubt )
Did the PS1 really have such a slow start? What happened?Well, those are shipped, but at the beginning Wii sold almost anything it shipped, so I added it:

Great news.
It should definitely cheer up Kaz - he was at the Oscars but Sony's main movies (American Hustle and Captain Philips) unfortunately didn't win any, despite 16 nominations in total. Next time
American Hustle, unfortunate it may be, never stood a chance.
Despite its 10 nominations, it was never seen as the first or second best choices of any of its nominated categories. It winning any one would had been an upset.
American Hustle should had starred Leo. That movie embodied his constant failure to win an Oscar, where being good enough...isn't enough.

It surpassed the Wii uptake. I think we can tell were the Wii gamers went. Gj Sony.
Japan only in the beginning and everyone was waiting on the 64. Think Dreamcast, except in this universe, Dreamcast gores on to be number one....*tears*
Yeah likely lol
Shipped or sold?

Big time gap of 9 months between the Japan release and the USA & Euro releases.

So Good.
My statements meant "in two months". Not one (worldwide sales in January + February).

Some of those sales were only for one territory:

PS1 was the very first console from an untested manufacturer. It took a while to gain steam both on the producer and consumer side.

Can we stop with this cross-gen crap now?
It's pretty clear that those with buying power are abandoning their older tech.

That thing must've been on fire then if it managed to reach 100 million.

Part of it would be that it was only in Japan for the first 9 months.
EDIT: gotta go fast
PS4 and X1 have yet to be massively corrected as I'm on this website almost everyday. So what you said might have been true for the previous gen, but so far it has yet to happen for the new generation. But whatever.
If they go by the 1M PS4s/month, then the PS3 would need to sell 1.1M to fill the rest.
Best estimates for January are 235k WW.
60% of 2013 sales were from NPD.
141k in Jan = 235k WW if that ratio holds up.

Blue Jasmine is by Sony Pictures. So they didn't go home empty handed and won in a major category (best actress).Great news.

Also, previous generations were much more supply constrained. The Wii was completely sold out for well over a year.

You have to ask yourself whether these numbers represent figures just after the launch in Japan and NOT the week following. That 'surpassed' could be there because it takes into account another week of sales.
As of 23rd February, PS4 surpasses 6M? Could be you know!

I am talking about 2 months , MS was at 3 million sold (3.9million ship) at the end of Dec .
They sold 141k in Jan NPD and lets say they did the same in EU (which is being nice )
That would put them at 3.3 million sold at end of Jan , they would have to sell 600k to 700k in Feb alone to be near 4 million sold .
Then i again i guess that would depend on what you call near .
I think the fact that the XB1 has already had a price drop in the UK + they're giving away their most anticipated title for free in the bundle demonstrates they're already quite panicky over at MS.

So basically you think they sold close to 800,000 worldwide in a month?
Where exactly?
I've enjoyed not playing and platninuming knack and Lego movie game, and playing Lego marvel, BF4, Killzone, FIFA, Tomb Raider
oh and resogun is nice too
edit: Need an ElTorro gif with Kaz's face superimposed over Lee Majors as 'the Six Million Unit Man'.

If it was an Xbox one exclusive then it might push a few consoles. It is also on PC and 360 so not a chance

Well it's definitely not in Europe. They're getting slaughtered here. And we know it's not in the US ... sooooo, Mexico?

Damn! Give me a Kaz-ified version, please ^_^
Let some people leave their hope pls.
But this is the truth though. Microsoft is pushing TF hard to make it look like a xbone exclusive but it wont do anything for them systemwise.The most interesting thing is, taht after Titanfall there is no huge exclusive for a long long time that has potential to sell something.
Over 3.5 million but under 4 million is what I meant.
Never said and/or meant that.
Yeah, I think they've got a big TitanFall fan-base down there.
The problem with that assumption is that we're forgetting that PS4 also has a system seller releasing this month. Though then again, this is PS4, they're gonna sell as many consoles as they can make regardless.

So thats 700k worldwide in three weeks.
370k in japan. 309k in the first two day. 60k in the first whole week after launch.
330k in the rest of the world.
I'd say 170k in US and 160k in europe.
Thats more than 50k sold each week in both markets.
And thats without exclusive game releases after launch. And even without bigger 3rd party game releases after launch. They're also still supply constrained.
I guess with MGS V, Infamous and other releases in march it should be possible for them to sell a million in march.
Maybe they can reach 7 mil by the end of the fiscal year.

All Sony need to do now is have a steady supply of exclusives every year and I think they may even surpass Wii!

InFamous is going to sell like fucking crazy, there is no doubt about it.
I believe PS4 is outselling the Xbox here. We may have some stock left, but it's not an unpopular console, the market here is just pretty small.
Well it ought to, first big PS4 exclusive in a while and for a while. Looking forward to the reviews and impressions.

Damn, those are some nice numbers. I wonder how long this momentum will last before the heavy hitters start getting released.
