Seemed worth posting, couldn't see a thread. And to stress: Sold through, not shipped.

Incredibly impressive. I could see them hitting 100M by the end of the year. If not then definitely in 2019.

With the game line up that is supposed to come out this year I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they hit 100m by the end of the year. That'd be a pretty giant feat though.

10 million and change behind the Xbox 360.

By the end of the year the PS4 will be ahead of the GBA, PSP, PS3, and 360.

It will be behind the PS2, DS, Gameboy, PlayStation, and Wii.

A year and couple of months away from 100 million ?

So mid 2019 ps4 will pass 100 million.

I feel they are considering either fall 2019 or 2020 to launch ps5

That's a lot of PS4s during the holidays, so if that wasn't a holiday record, some other year must have been crazy.


Ah, there it is. 2016 was crazy.

They could have beat that this year if the had $199 for USA for Dec .
Still 5% decline is not bad and we looking at another good year of games.

The possible $199 price point will be crazy this year.

First time for PS4 to break 20M in a CY. That would also make it 3rd (or maybe 4th - not sure about PS1 since we only have shipments for those days) console to achieve that.

IIRC they mentioned 2016 was the biggest holiday season (or Q3?) for PS ever.

Very good Sony.

Shipped numbers around 75mil probably.

If they price drop around April or so, then they'll have another 17+mil year.

Damn, that's still good. I expected a much bigger drop in the holiday since it's competing against the Xbox One X and Switch.

It is in line with the expectations.

More competition due to Switch and Xbox One X.
No new console release in the Ps4 Pro.
Arguable worse deals this year compared to last year (at least in the US).
The last week of November was unusually big.
Japan sales are are already confirmed to be down during the holiday period.

Wow, we going to hit 100 million in no time. I'm thinking 120 million when the dust settles.
