On Eve Of PS4's First Birthday, Sony Releases New Stats

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yep, the people below are morons. If they would have just used Google...

The article is wrong. Xbox: 10m shipped. PS4: 13.5m sold.

Microsoft is counting all the systems that are on the shelves of retailers. Sony is only counting the systems in homes. Xbox is probably selling closer to half of PS4.

<< LINK REMOVED >> people are missing something very important when microsoft says leading in sales. These are internal numbers and not NPD numbers. microsoft doesn't know how much sony is actually selling. microsoft says they have tripled in sales so in there mind they are winning the month when sony could be quadrupling in sales and not saying anything just letting microsoft kick themselves in the mouth like that pacther guy did last month. Granted i'm not saying thats what sony is doing but its a possibility.

And ps4 have 13.5million shipped to consumers and xbox have less then 10 million shipped to retailers. microsoft can't reduce that gap until they outsell sony globally not just in the US. so for instance microsoft could potentially outsell sony in the US this month by a couple 100 thousand but sony will still take it globally which means the gap will not be reduced because ps4 will still outsell xbox world wide not just the US which is what IGN. Gamespot will report on.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Xbox is selling like a beast in Best Buy, but best buy predominantly favors the Xbox brand anyways. Also there is a black friday deal for PS4 @ 399 with TLOU:R and GTAV so that will probably be a big seller as well! Overall looking great for holiday sales I'd expect 5m sold through for both consoles combined easily by the end of the holidays

@DarkReign2022 Leading in sales for 2 weeks isn't exactly leading in sales. I highly doubt they've hit 8 million. It's possible they've it 7 million. The boost from holiday shipments helped them reach 10 million. Their numbers are a bit misleading. Sony obviously hasn't sent out holiday shipments yet or their number would've hit around 17 million instead of 13.5 million (which they've been at for a while now).

<< LINK REMOVED >> Wow. Un-Freaking Believable

<< LINK REMOVED >> Just so you're aware they've confirmed 10 million sold into homes and in order to get those there they had to ship at minimum 10 million into retailers. They have close to a 1 to 1 ratio.

<< LINK REMOVED >> yeah, but what if MS shipped 3 million, which is about what these companies ship this time a yr, how much would they have sold? 7 million. yawn!

They said shipped. They had 10 million sold last time they gave stats. Meaning they had more than 10 millions shipped before and have less than 13 million sold now.

<< LINK REMOVED >> yes! im hoping Xbox catches up.. so PS4 is cheaper too lol

O'Doyle rules!

<< LINK REMOVED >> A day after the Xbox live still broken articles. Why not wish for them both to have success rather than wishing for one to fail? Grow up.

<< LINK REMOVED >> you sir are such a dum dum ...

<< LINK REMOVED >> MS hasn't given us a sales number since launch. So... there's that. Both consoles are doing fine, quit being a fanboy.

<< LINK REMOVED >> WHAT!!!! I thought this whole time they sold to customers and not Shipped. Oh, nothing new here.

<< LINK REMOVED >> No - I think you found proof of Sony fanboys misinterpreting. Sony clearly said shipped. But the comments sections were full of people claiming it was sold through

it sold, check wikipedia

<< LINK REMOVED >> marica!
