Who would've thought Niche-Man would sell that many copies? Seriously speaking that's exceeding expectations though, selling so goddamn lot in such a short time.
Kodera: "This year, we will bring more enhanced experiences to our fans along with a highly anticipated lineup of games that are only possible on PS4."
At least one of the big boys coming?

Hmm yeah but Kinect was bundled in at launch and way cheaper then PSVR
Retail? Only PS2 (1.512 billion). With digital probably DS (948 million retail sw ), Wii (920 million retail sw), PS3 and X360. GB ''only'' shipped 501 million units of sw. Even if you add GBA (377 million) you don't get a billion. PS1 also got close to billion (962 million). If PS4 manages to sell about same amount of sw this year as last year the sell trough will be over 1.1 billion by end of 2019.
Cool shit, I remember when analysts were predicting mobile was the future and home consoles were on their way out at the beginning of this gen.
Instead all 3 companies are doing amazing right now and the PS4 in particular is on track to be the second best selling home console of all time.

9 million sales in approx. 10 weeks is incredible regardless of whether it's a first-party or third-party release. Only a very tiny percentage of games sell better than this.
He's given numbers before too, this isn't the first time. And he provided these just a couple days before Sony officially announced it.
Lucky Sony, this success is only due to MS & Ninty messing up. Now Nintendo are back with Switch & MS have the best value proposition with Gamepass, the age of Sony is over (again).
/s
The only exclusive that can beat Spiderman is TLOU 2. It's the mother of all exclusives this gen. If it's received critically similarly to the first, it could do 15 million.
All luck though. Everyone else had to shoot themselves in the for for Sony to be successful
/S
Well done, Sony. Here's to another 10-20m. Now please don't pull Fortnite account-locking shit ever again.
PS4 (blue) vs PS2 (white) per month:
PS4 sales are on fire.
2019 and 2020 are going to be packed with great games for PS4, just look at the announced games.
This 2 things basically means Sony doesn't need to drop price to $199 because sales don't drop enough, they can wait until PS5 launch if they want.
PS5 is very likely going to be BC, which means many post PS5 launch indie or medium sized games will be released as PS4 games to take advange of the 120M+ PS4s in the market while also being sold in PS5.
Games like FIFA or Just Dance will be there for years as they did in previous gens.
It was too difficult to reduce the cost of the PS3 alien hardware so they couldn't release super cheap version in its later years. It's way easier to reduce cost of PC-like PS4 hardware.
Price drop until $199 or beyond opens the gate to the family market (where games like Dreams work).
Price drop until $199 or beyond opens the gate to developing countries where PS4 is still too expensive.
PS home consoles keep selling during 10+ years
PS4 has Knack
PS4 has Knack 2
PS4 is on track to be the best selling home console during its 6th year and look how long is the PS2 tail.
Sure, KHIII in 2019 and FFVIIR (Episode 1) in 2020.
They may have a pretty accurate estimate but it's too soon for Sony to have Switch and XBO 2018 numbers. Obviously internal numbers are way easier and faster to get.

We're talking PlayStation exclusives, right? If so, then yeh.
My bad I meant this year.
I know when TLOU 2 comes out it'll move units
Why do you think sales are just going to fall off a cliff this year?
You don't think Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, or any of the many big third party games like Anthem or The Division 2 are going to move units?
Huh.
Thanks for the info! Honestly thought the GB numbers would be higher.
So we got the full circle
"not going to sell well"
"oh, is it considered good ?"
You´re still wrong, it is going to happen this year by the end of the summer the latest lol
Probably will lifetime, espcially since i can absolutely see it being rereleased in the first 6 months of PS5 Release
Well done Sony, though I wish it translated to greater variety and risk taking in AAA development like we had in the PS2 days.
We kinda lack the numbers for this though : GoW might have done it, but we haven't had any numbers since its first month. I don't think Halo did it. I can't think of anything else right now. Some Nintendo game definitely did it though (Pokémon, Smash, maybe some other)
Do you mean games like Last Guardian, the "rebooted" God of War, Quantic Dream games, Bloodborne, Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding?
Well deserved.
Had a 360 last gen and this gen Sony won me over with the better box right out the gate.

exactly. way, way cheaper.
Does this mean VR would be better off if Sony re-released current PSVR for $150? No upgrade in panel whatsoever. The source material will come cleaner and upscaled like for the ps4pro but slightly better, but that's it.
Would this be better than another $400 PSVR, with shiny 6K combined rez, 140 FOV and some killer positional sound?
You tell me. $400 vs $150.
Contact Google and complain to them their auto correct sucks
But who has said anything about hitting 100m within the next 3 months for you to bring up your doubt about that? Sony's own forecast is to hit 96.5m shipped by then.
It sold 8 Million units in it's first 60 days, and was considerably cheaper than PSVR (and was also aggressively bundled with Xbox units). I'm also fairly sure that "35 Million" number includes both XBO units (which were bundled) and the Windows Units as well.
Not to hamstring your argument, but units sold is largely irrelevant when you're looking at the big picture. It was a pretty shitty input device, but it was also very novel and interesting technology that had a ton of buzz around it because "using your body as a controller" was pretty interesting to a lot of people. It also helps that it sold at $150 independently (as opposed to $400 launch for PSVR) along with a $300 system bundle with Kinect.
