PS4 is now 29.3 Million units shipped worldwide

Over 29 million since September?

Sony pretty much has this Gen in the bag. This is like Wii 2.0 indeed. Except that the purchase is actually worth it in the long run with tons of support and games. Last Gen it was 360 no denying it, despite me liking to play on my PS3 more I can still admit it.

PS4 will be 50 million by November next year and the latest numbers prove that is indeed feasible + price drop = boom ps4 reaching 50 million easily.

Btw this is not about fanboy wars, I'm just happy that people are still buying consoles and still going strong. I hope MS catches up too. Despite all the negative shit and practices some developers adopted this Gen, we can still find gems and amazing fun games to play.

NyaDamageControl should be happy. But I guess it's not his favourite console winning so he takes this stance.

@funkmaster1233: LMAO is this a dudebro joke ?

cs"go beats halo MP 100 fold even that other silly mp game cod beats it.

Mmm... for the beginner, you're making it sound a lot more complicated than it is.

A lot of people get burned by investing in stocks because they can't see past the number crunching and technobabble, instead relying on their broker to give them "the best deal". And then the myth gets formed that "people lose money in stocks". Duh, because you remained absolutely ignorant of what you're investing towards.

The real genius is having the ulterior vision to see who's going to be valuable within your given time frame, and it's little to do with those weird fucking numbers you get in stocks, and all to do with just reading the times.

For example, a lot of people right now should look into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. All of their car marques have solid futures, in particular Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Ferrari, who seem to be building the right cars and having solid support to increase their values in the next ten to fifteen years. Incidentally, Ferrari is opening itself up to public ownership.

Toyota could be onto something new with the hydrogen fuel cell technology they've come up with. And of course Tesla will still continue to increase in value especially with the deals they've got going with the government and with other car marques.

On the flip side, nobody should be buying into any of the four big movie studios at this moment. If you want to invest into the entertainment industry, your best bet will actually be any telecommunications company, as they will be the key players in entertainment distribution in the future. Movies, music, and video games will soon move to an exclusive on-demand digital release. Whatever telco strikes deals with the entertainment companies will be the winner.

Great! I hope cows can get some games to go with all those units.

I will be praying for you all this Holiday.

*goes back to playing and buying games.

Outstanding news to hear from PS4 sales. Now then, all we gotta do is wait until Battlefront PS4 is release and the fact it's riding the Star Wars: Force Awaken hype train, PS4/Battlefront bundle is gonna sell like it was Crack all over again.

@finalstar2007: Nothing surprising .. King back to his throne , thats all.

Thats a lot of PS4's pre-price-cut and pre-holidays.....

Wow they are approaching half the number of gamers on PC who use controllers.

you're the joke....because I like playing Halo 5 more than COD or CS.

Yeah cows have sales and the most qualitive games.

Meanwhile you and other lemmings have overhyped flops to play.

ironic irony

At any rate, that's pretty nice considering that is all pre $50 price cut.

Awesome news. I hope PS4 continues to grow; the more success, the more games.

LMFAO!

@nyadc: "I don't see it selling more than 28 million units by the end of 2015, what I do see happening though is Microsoft catching up, revealing real sales data and then surpassing Sony."

Don't forget that according to haters PS4 has no games...

With some great exclusives coming up for the console I wonder what will happen :)

does anyone happen to have sales numbers for previous top selling systems of their generation 2 years in? id be curious to look back over the last 20 years or so and compare.

edit - quick googling puts it almost exactly at ps2 numbers

@acp_45: dudebro confirmed

@Suppaman100: @foxbatalpha got served !

@chikenfriedrice: PM me if you want ticker symbols for some ETFs. The breakdown of holdings is pretty simple, depending on your age. My rule of thumb is 50% in domestic (US) large-cap, 20% international (Euro-pacific), 10% domestic mid-cap, 10% domestic small-cap, 10% bonds.

If you don't have an IRA set up, you can do this through any of the brokerage sites (TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, etc).

Hey @tormentos, check out these two statements from a thread made 7 months ago ("Do you think the PS4 will sell 40 million by 2016?):

@gabensherald said:

It's garbage. Once the casuals get it out of their system they don't need COD anymore, it will bottom out at 30 million once they go back to playing on their phones.

Not that I agree with exactly what you're saying, but I do believe the PlayStation 4 sales are a bubble, and we all know what happens with those. I don't see it selling more than 28 million units by the end of 2015, what I do see happening though is Microsoft catching up, revealing real sales data and then surpassing Sony. As of right now and especially with the delay of Uncharted 4, Microsoft is going to have a much better year game wise than Sony, much better, plus what they still have not shown at E3. Then to top this off all of the integration with Windows 10 will be happening, DirectX 12 etc. Microsoft has a lot of exciting things to offer people this year, a lot, and consumers are not overlooking it.

You said you wanted to save that thread to laugh later on. Have at them, lol

Personally, I was wrong about the 40 million units sold by the end of 2015 (I did say it was going to be a challenge). I can see it being around 35-36 million now.

But Sony did revise their target and aimed even higher thanks to these favorable numbers, so their estimate of hitting 40 million in the first half of 2016 is going to be very easy.

From GAF, here are the sales results after 8 quarters:

That's the 8th quarter with PS4 results. Others sales at the end of 8th quarter.

Wii- 34.55m

PS4- 29.30m

PS2- 24.99m

PS3- 16.60m

360- 13.40m

LMFAO!

@nyadc Kids, just say no to drugs.

Damn, that's a lot

Lol, DC's expert prediction needs to be brought more often

Its still the best selling console in the world.

@Suppaman100

" @nyadc: "I don't see it selling more than 28 million units by the end of 2015, what I do see happening though is Microsoft catching up, revealing real sales data and then surpassing Sony."

This is my L.O.T.Y.(tm) quote!!!

Edit : 20mins later...still laughing!!!

Finally, the real numbers. Sony projects 40 million by the end of March, damn! Nyadc is truly the Pachter of System Wars, has he ever been right on anything?

He went Full Lem and it's not pretty.

Don't worry mate, there are plenty of games available on PS4 and more coming up... but we appreciate your concern !!

@flyincloud1116:

Really can't help it ^^

Lol! xD

That idiotic quote alone, makes this thread a gem.

@ladyblue

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Indeed, even Mr Bean ain't that funny.:

I dont see it selling more that 28 million either, but i dont think Xbox One can catch up in total sales so soon, i think it can take back America though by the end of the year with ease.

I'm pretty sure no one here takes anything nyadc says seriously. All his predictions have been hilariously wrong for such a long time.

HAHAHAHAHA!

He should leave this place permanently after that post.

What? It's already pretty much confirmed that PS4 will sell more than 28 mil by then of this year, there are more than 29+mil shipped already. And lol at "i think it can take back America though by the end of the year with ease."

LOL

Dude must be pulling all our legs. I don't think it's possible for anyone to make such awful predictions all the time, he must be a troll.

Thats shipped not sold. They probably just reached 25 million sold worldwide. And its not hard for them to take back America, they are only behind by like a million.

We don't know how much they sold but the shipped number says a lot and the holiday season hasn't even started.

PS4 also just had a price cut, so it will be very hard for Xbone to take back america.

@Suppaman100: That shipped number is most likely gonna help cover the holiday season. Price cut will help some, but not enough, you need big games, and PS4 has none right now.

That PS4 sure is! Now you got it m8!

I always heard you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

Oh the "ps4 has no big games" argument again. Guess what, the average Joe thinks Star Wars and COD black ops III are exclusive to PS4 thanks to marketing. + the price cut is more than enough for PS4 to keep the lead in the US.

But hey, we'll see when the real numbers are revealed at the end of this year.

@Suppaman100: Yeah i should have stated no big exclusives, but your right, they will think of Black Ops and Star Wars as exclusives, same with people who will think Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 are exclusive to Xbox One.

But Xbox One has so much more this holiday season, they have Halo, Forza, and Rare Replay. Plus i think they got that Madden deal didnt they? Thats an American dream team right there.

We'll see what has more weight, COD + Starwars or Halo/Forza + Fallout 4.

I have my bet on COD and star wars though.

Anyway we'll see who's right at the end of the year.

@mesome713

Shipped numbers by september and last quarter 2014 ( oct-dec ) they sold 6.4 M with no price cut.

Are you saying they will sell less this holidays with all the bundles they have and the price cut???

Get real man!!!

Edit : Sony has rised its estimates from 35M to 39.8 M by march 2016, think of this as their lowest expectations!!!

:

@sovkhan: I am saying yes, they will.

Hopefully Star Wars wont flop though, that would hurt. But it will be an awesome battle.

Best selling console this generation

Sony can really do no wrong these days.

It is the better of the two, WiiU being the best overall.

That another prediction I see?

Welp PS4 confirmed to hit 50-54 million.

Wii U the best? LMFAO!

Two year ago maybe. Do third party devs even make games for that turd?
