PS4 sell through at 91.6 million as of Dec 31st 2018. Spider-Man sell through over 9 million. (Sony PR)
- Thread starter Guymelef
- Start date
I believe they have been profiting since day 1 on the PS4 unit alone
Microsoft have given up & Sony pretty much have a monopoly, next gen will be interesting though, but likely Sony dominated if MS can't produce the exclusives.
Is this true? Holy shit Sony really did everything right when it came to designing and launching the PS4. It couldn't be more of a contrast vs how the PS3 went down at launch.
Some would say the Switch but it's clearly still doing very well (although it appeared to have peaked in 2017 but not by much more).
This is why we won't get ps5 in 2019.
And TLOU2, GOT, DS, DG, and who knows what other exclusives that haven't been announced are still on the way, ps4 will easily do 150 million by the end of the console lifecycle.
PS2 doesn't have a comparable sell through number. But its production shipment number was just under 90m when launch aligned.
PS4 and PS2 have been tracking similarly (when launch aligned) for a while now.
over 150mil without a Pro model & with Xbox & GC actually having a lot of good exclusives to compete with Sony, PS2 numbers were something else.
Unless something has changed, then Insomniac has no interest in a buy out. Sony probably would've inked that deal over a decade ago if Insomniac was receptive to it.
So this says over 5.6 million PS4s sold from Nov 19 - Dec 31..........
We already knew that November had about 1.3 million PS4s sold in the US.
What can this tell us about potential December worldwide sales for PS4?

yeah, 2019 PS5 makes no sense at all with numbers THAT good.
you could even make an argument for (early) 2021
125 Million is guaranteed if they do absolutely nothing at this point.
Depends on PS5 i think, if PS5 comes late 2019 with a $399 price tag, it's gonna destroy PS4's momentum, personally im fine with waiting for 2021 for PS5, but i also game on PC so im biased, i think a lot of Console only gamers want better hardware sooner than later, then again with a ton of people just picking up a PS4 Pro in 2018, they might get upset about PS5 being soon also.
Thes
There's the possibility that people here could be way off from reality.
Hey I bought one! Sony got me for two this gen. Haha! I just didn't care for Spiderman. Bloodborne is good though.
The Deluxe edition is pretty much that, has all DLC, so just need to keep a eye on that. You can get the Season Pass for 37% off at the moment (in the EU anyway), so mightn't even have to keep a eye on the Deluxe edition.
Would Sony know how many units Nintendo sold a week after the year's over? Have they claimed something like that at CES in previous years?
Third behind PS2 and PSOne. It's already outsold PS3 and will probably pass 1. PS2 is likely out of reach, but PS4 is probably going to wind up being the 2nd most successful home console of all time. If you factor in revenue, it's probably going to bigger for Sony than the PS2 was.
PS4 had its 2nd best year on its 5th full year, including its 6th black friday and 6th christmas. The only official price drop was from 400€ to 300€.
This is hardware from 2013 we're talking about.
Seriously impressive numbers and this never happened before.
Amazing and also hilarious that Sony re-revised their predictions 2 or 3 times and still did better than they were expecting in the end.

Anecdotal- a lot of the console only gamers I know personally don't really care about power or better hardware much, if at all. It's all software, followed by the online community.
Eventually better hardware will become a must as PS4 titles start hitting the limits of what the system can do- but we're not really "there" yet for most people.
120m is very conservative.
I've been saying it for a while and I'm sure of it, PS4 will sell more than 140m unit.

That's right. It's not surpassing PS2 but it'll be right under it which is an achievement in itself considering what the PS2 managed to do during its time and era.
Yeah, the monthly active users is probably the number Sony is most happy to see. That's just more possible people they can possibly convert to PS+ (and PS Now) subscribers.
The GOAT console and the GOAT game putting in work I see...
Congrats to Sony for the success of the PS4, my favorite console ever! The future of PlayStation has never been brighter
Also congrats to SIE, Insomniac, and Marvel Games, Spidey is my favorite game of all time, and the future of comic book video games has never been brighter as well :)

It tells us that the PS4 doesn't rely on 1 market for all it sales and has a worldwide reach.
120-130 lifetime is getting realistic
It also shows that competition has barely affected its momentum past the expected slow down in its 5th year.
If anything, I think PS4 has affected the overall potential of the Switch. I wonder what the Switch could've really sold if the PS4 didnt over shadow it worldwide
