Sony announces PS4 sales total 2.1 million, 700K in Europe, Australasia

4.6
Sony announced this morning that PlayStation 4 sales exceed 2.1 million as of December 1, with 700,000 consoles sold across Europe and Australasia across their launch weekends. The number is again stipulated as sell-through, meaning it represents units sold to customers rather than retailers, as estimated by Sony Computer Entertainment.

According to Sony's numbers, PS4 sales have now doubled since its first day of availability in North America, boosted by launches across Europe, Australasia, and Latin America last week. The console looks on target to meet SCE America President and CEO Jack Tretton's prediction of 3 million sales by the end of the year. Sony is aiming for 5 million sales by the end of March 2014, boosted again by the console's launch in Japan on February 22.

Yop Australasia? Are they serious about this name?


Do you go to school? Do you just learn about the country you live in? I honestly would have thought most people would know what Australasia meant, or even what countries it consisted of.

Canidae Australasia? I've never known those two continents to be one.


I laughed as well.
I didn't think that a typo would make it into the title of the article.


Straight from Wikipedia:

"Australasia is a region of Oceania comprising Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. The term was coined by Charles de Brosses in Histoire des navigations aux terres australes."

Australasia is a real region. Not a typo.

ZENU96 They are selling a bunch of PS4's, still really competitive against microsoft.


The companies where really close together last generation and i think we all expect it to be the same this generation. I wonder who will come out on top by the end of it


If it is anything like last generation, I think that Xbone will come out on top.
