PlayStation 4 sold 1 million units in first day of availability
SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton predicted 3 million sales by the end of the year, and with the European launch to come, that's looking eminently realistic. Sony is targeting that figure to rise to 5 million by the close of the company's fiscal year in March 2014, by which point the console will have reached Japan.
According to data gatherer NPD, Sony only sold 197,000 PS3 units to the US in its first two weeks of availability, with shortages of supply to blame. Around this time last year, the Wii U sold 425,000 units in the US within its first week at retail, with Nintendo going on to ship 3 million units worldwide by the end of 2012.

honestly don't get why people are arguing over the consoles still calling each other immature, you're both immature if your arguing over a console, its pathetic, just sony at the moment has a terrible console but it can be fixed, and who knows xbox one's launch might be a huge fail, the next gen systems are both amazing all that matters is what console you like better, personally for me its xbox but only because it always has been xbox and its what my friends have and are getting, im sure PS4 will soon be running fine and will be a great gaming console, and hopefully the xbox one will be to :)
