Sony sold over 20 million PlayStation 4s

4.8
People really like the PlayStation 4. How many, though? Over 20 million. As of March 1st, Sony says that it's sold through (not shipped, sold) 20.2 million of its latest console. It's going to be hard to judge just how far Sony's ahead of chief rival Microsoft and the Xbox One, however, until the latter releases numbers of it own. And, with a dearth of killer exclusive games, it's going to be interesting to see how long Sony can maintain this lead.

TheUnholy1994 got them both. prefer xbox. i dont like how the dam light bar always has to be lit up. playing GTA 5 and getting chased by cops is annoying coz my whole wall flashes red n blue coz of it. the speaker in the controller is just plain stupid.not as comfy as xbox controller. xbox is quieter. PS4 home screen is shit, xbox one home screen sucks too but its better.
PS4 might be a little more powerful, but xbox has better games and better online community. and xbox isnt offline as much as PS. mind that time PSN got shutdown for a month? haha sorry but i still find that funny. Xbone wins.


Lol what are you talking about fanboy? Xbl is full of abusive little squeakers haha.


nah, u got those mostly on PSN. xbox is better in every way. before you say PS is more powerful, its not the power that makes a games good. plus xbox gets better exclusives, and when theres a problem with xbox live, they fix it way faster than sony does with PSN.


You can't be saying that there are more squeakers on PSN than XBL lol, XBL is literally full of them. Having switched from the 360 to the PS4 (best decision of my life) I can really tell a difference in the maturity of the community. Also the exclusives thing is down to personal opinion and not fact, I personally think that 90% of Xbox exclusives are total garbage.


while 99.9% of PS exclusives suck, take Gran Turismo for example. then play Forza Motorsport... forza is superior and more preferable in every way


Lol Gran Turismo paved the way for Forza and will always be the definitive racing simulation game on console.


Then why does Forza sell more??


It doesn't, where are you getting this information from fanboy?

I've just checked the sales figures and Gran Turismo sales absolutely swamp that of Forza.


I do not own a PS4 I have a Xbox One but I do not see the need to start this argument. Everyone has there own opinion on which console is "better" but the truth is it just comes down to what you want or what all your friends have. I would own a PS4 any day and it is good to see Sony selling so many. They are just consoles no need to start a huge argument.

Even in November, the numbers were massively in Sony's favour.

SOLD consoles is much better than "shipped to retailers" - especially when virtually nowhere was sold out. We can safely assume the numbers sold in November were nowhere near the 10m mark, and more likely closer to the 6-7m mark, meaning numbers would have to treble, in the months since.

PS4 is doing good, how many has xbox one sold?

RedPosted:

Not a surprise at all. PS4 is great, but still not as great as it's competitor, but still great.

RickPosted:

Have both, and still prefer the Xbox. I feel the Xbox community has stayed true to it's roots in the functionality of the console itself. Only use the PS4 whenever MLB comes out, other than that The Xbox wins in every category IMO.

Sony did it right since day one. They kept the price reasonable and constantly fixed the issues of the PS4.
