2017 beat 2016 by 3 million units . So they grew around 15%
Very easily so .
That with DD from first party and 3rd party just bring in the money .
most definitely, i think they took a loss early on each console sold with the psone, ps2 and 3
So HW down/Software up at the same period YoY isn't a bad result especially when it's the best year ever. Firmly now believe it will get to that magic 100m mark in it's lifetime. Also that PS+ split just proves how much business sense it makes to charge for online in the console space.
Sales threads never disappoint!
If you're taking the entirety of 2017 into account, PS4 sales aren't down but rather up by around 15%.
I think i've made a mistake, because NPD counts from 25th of november (cybermonday week), probably those 3,6 millions are closer than we think.
Btw, 308K PS4 sold in Japan since nov 27th, let's do the math.
I'm curious about those europe numbers for PS4.
Haha, come on. And the PS4 still outsold the Switch since it launched including this holiday season. They have more competition now, but 2018 will be a rough year? Not even close.
The 5% less is only for the holidays. Overall, the PS4 grew around 15% in the year
its not down 5% overall,its just the holiday period
Its up YoY, 17.5M in 2016 and 20.2M in 2017. Its the peak year so far
Why not both? I mean the switch makes an awesome handheld. They've managed to surpass the Vita just hardware wise (and it's Nintendo and they have pretty consistantly done well with handhelds so I bet it will get the software. And it even looks like Nintendo will get some western third party support this time as well as japanese support as they already are doing very well in Japan from what I hear).
Yeah, saw just after I posted. Crazy good year.
Thanks anyway though.
Do you know how Ps4 sold in the same timeframe in 2016 in japan?
This 5% down thing is going to get a lot of mileage, when it completely skews the overall picture. Oh well.
No it blew 2016 out of the water for the calendar year. A drop of 300,000 for the December period, but a total 2017 gain of 3M.
this year the Switch won't be supply constrained and its the first full year with the Xbone X. The latter won't matter much I don't think since 2 gens ago, Xbox's power didn't slow Ps2 down at all
Actually it sold more in December 2016 than in December 2017.
That's literally slowing down.
PS+ Subs are really all that matter, them alone are probably absolutely eclipsing the money even peak PS2 was making.

I think Zhuge has confirmed this, no? That the PS4 is shaping to be the most profitable console for Sony
Shipped / Sold through Graph would be nice, too.
Lets see Sony's inventory management.
I think i'll do a fast lazy work on that.
They're up 3 million over last year. One month of lower sales doesn't mean they're slowing down
By only 0.3 million units and the PS4 deals in December 2017 were arguably worse than the deals in December 2016.
A 3M total increase for the year even though they were don't 300,000 for December, indicates a strong year round performance. The holidays aren't the only season in play for the PS4.
