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.

Kex Good amount of sales. Are they beating Xbox One?


There is no factual statistics anywhere.
Just fanboys claiming the lead.

The amount of profit they must be getting would be insane.

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.


Well I will be damned.
Now I feel like an idiot for correcting someone that was actually correct.

XeXChamp PS4 Is Selling out Fast must be good :D


Both consoles are doing quite well.

CHP good for sony, they smashed the xbone


Smashed? First off PS4 has been out a whole extra week. And last I checked they both sold a million in 24 hours. Wait until Microsoft releases their two week info to decide who's winning. Otherwise it's like comparing the first 24 hour sales of a movie to its first weeks worth.

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.


You shouldn't talk out of your ass. Xbox came in dead last in the last generation for overall sales..
1. Wii
2. PS3
3. Xbox

Sad part is ps3 came out a year later.

Anybody can edit Wikipedia man :/ i could go on right now and out it as something a dog eats ....


So you're saying that someone made a mistake whilst editing that Wikipedia page? It's common geography. Not saying everyone's stupid, I just cant believe some people thought it was a typo.
