PS4 Hits 7 Million Globally

Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. just announced that PS4 has cumulatively sold through more than 7.0 million units globally as of April 6th, 2014. PS4 software sales are another bright spot, with more than 20.5 million copies sold at retail and PlayStation Store worldwide as of April 13th, 2014.

[uptownsoul]

Big news, good job PS4…Now go get another 7M

[allformats]

When you make right decisions from the onset, goodwill will follow you all the way to the end. Sony's made all the right decisions, and said decisions has paid off in many, many ways.

[ArmGunar]

Good job Sony ! Well deserved :)

Summary:
- 4,2 millions as of 28 december + 9,7M games sold
- 5,3 millions as of 8 february
- 6 millions as of 2 march
- 7 millions as of 6 april + 20,5M games sold

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

I said God Damn! God Damn... :D Congrats, Sony!

7 million consoles already.....crazy numbers. I don't see those numbers letting up any time soon either. If they are doing that well with little in the way of retail exclusives, then they are going to stay just as strong when the exclusives start flowing like they did with the PS3. This gen sure is beginning to look pretty one-sided, even this early on.

Also, 20 million game sales, but i thought PS fans only rented? ;p

[majiebeast]

Dat domination and demand. The thirst is real.

[Jughead3416]

Sony hasn't been perfect. But they've made an overall committment toward gamers to give us the best experiences. Just wait until we get outside of the launch window, when titles and technology start flowing in on a more regular basis. This could be a historic home console.

XBOX ONE has impressive numbers also, but they're being over shadowed by Sony's success. If Phil Spencer can show gamers that they're committed to them, they're numbers will improve.

[cleft5]

This is great news, not just for Sony but for everyone looking forward to next-gen games becoming the lead platform for 3rd party games. When you look at Watch Dogs or Assassin's Creed it's clear that the lead platform was last gen consoles. The sooner the PS4/Xbox One is the lead platform for games the better for everyone.

[chrismichaels04]

The PS4 continues to prove, fanboys speak loud....but gamers' wallets speak louder. 7 million consoles in less than 6 months is an impressive accomplishment. Congrats to Sony on the PS4's continued success.

[MightyNoX]

I second that statement. Well done, well deserved but most importantly...WELL EARNED.

[Skips]

Wonder why MS have been keeping so silent. lol

"with more than 20.5 million copies sold at retail"

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloud...

Well, that's where having the best console version of mulitplats comes into play. And not to mention solid sales for exclusives.

[TomShoe]

Sony is just making it look easy at this point.

[chrismichaels04]

If Sony pulls off yet another impressive E3 show, the PS4 hype going into the holiday season is going to be insane.

[SolidStoner]

and I still dont have one! I mean PS4!! :D still using my ps3 full throttle... I will get it eventually!

[Nine_Thousaaandd]

@allformats...well said...

And keeping the deves involved through the development of PS4...has paid off big time as well.

Congrats, Sony...Playstation brand is stronger than ever!

[amiga-man]

http://www.google.co.uk/img...

Well deserved Sony.

[morganfell]

Just announced - PS4 won NPD.

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

[GribbleGrunger]

So with another 10 days added and considering that 'over 7 million' (sold THROUGH, by the way), we can estimate they've now sold 7.2 million PS4s WW. Very well done. I would have loved to be at the shareholders meeting when they plonked those numbers down on the table. 'You know we said 5 million by the end of the fiscal year ... ? Well ...'

[MightyNoX]

Haha, it's a problem that I'm sure they won't mind having.

[LondonMediaOS]

Lol Wow!
Must be nice to be Sony at the moment. Cant wait for E3, I hope they can keep this train rolling.

[GTgamer]

We call that Good Problems (•ิ_•ิ)

[Parapraxis]

10 M by E3, you wait.

[GordonKnight]

It's balancing out all the Red Tape the other Sony departments are making.

[Gazondaily]

Its only a matter of time :)

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

before MS goes out of business?

[dantesparda]

Lol, Im sorry but that was funny.

[randomass171]

Before the next 7 million PS4s are sold. :P

[badboy776]

Xbone Numbers Come Out and Play......

[Gazondaily]

"For what?"

For Sony to get another 7 million. I was replying to the first post.

[Kayant]

Said what.... Oh shit was not expecting that before NPD results at least.

Good job Sony. PS4 is doing really well.

[Bernlock]

which probably means they lost this month and they wanted to get their news out first before all the headlines were sony loses to microsoft in march

Edit: Soap shoes I think thats what they are doing. I think they are counteracting the news of losing in march. Classic PR move and nothing wrong with it. But it also says "Sold Through" which people are seeming to ignore.

Disagree all you want people. Id bet my life on this meaning sony lost in marchs NPD. If Sony wins I will delete my account and ban myself from this commenting on this site again.

[SoapShoes]

^ It's just as likely that they sold more in March. I would think if they weren't #1 that they'd save thi info to counteract the other news.

[SoapShoes]

^ But you can't counteract what hasn't been announced... You mean preimptive but I still think they would wait so when news comes out they can reduced the so caled "damage."

[OrangePowerz]

@uber

Sony releases numbers for milestines monthly for the PS4. If MS can't outsell the PS4 in the US in tge month when TF comes out they would need to worry anyway given how shooter centric the US are.

[Kayant]

@uberpwnyexpress

"If Sony wins I will delete my account and ban myself from this commenting on this site again." - Lmaooo no need to take it to heart.

You're probably right in that but it make more sense IMO to counter it in their NPD PR like SoapShoes said above. Anyways I don't think they lost by a large margin thanks to I:SS if they indeed lost.

"But it also says "Sold Through" which people are seeming to ignore" - Yes want's wrong there?
That means sold to customers --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[edwick]

@uberpwnyexpress

"sold-through" means it was actually sold to consumers, not just retailers, what is to ignore?

[avengers1978]

@uber since NPD numbers are not out yet we can't really say what console won march in america( amazon and GameStop both had PS4 on top the entire month )
But world wide will belong to SONY PS4. And Sony don't really need a PR Spin here they are clearly ahead, isn't it odd to you at all that MS hasn't said a thing about there numbers since they said they shipped 3.9 million XB1s not sold through(BTW that means sold to consumers, since you don't seem to know that)

[Chevalier]

I would say that we have received regular shipments throughout march to end Sony's fiscal yeah and I doubt MS won the month. My store sold close to 90 PS4's in just over 4 weeks, whereas Xbone with Titanfall we sold something like 30 units. It's not even close at least where I'm at.

[Sevir]

Uber, things you may want to consider, "Sell Through" like you've highlighted means sold to customers. The Last time MS announced its figures was in January when they stated 3.9 million consoles total were ship as of Dec 31, 2013 and that as of the same day 3 million total was sold to consumers... Pretty sure they were reporting to keep pace with Sony, but now that Sony has pulled ahead they've stopped all together, they'll likely update on April 22 as that's their quarterly report for the company, by then we'// likely hear MS has sold an excess of 5.2 million Xbox Ones they''ll be closer to 6 million I'm pretty sure Titan Fall Bundle pushed them up a bit but I doubt they have sold at the rate Sony has sold or they'd be trumpeting the figures.

They've been silent since Jan this year on sales milestones, and even more cryptic and quiet on software sales for their biggest exclusive... While Sony has been trumpeting its exclusives and such... Infamous SS sold 1 million in 9 days... What's Titan Fall sell on XBO?

[solidjun5]

"But it also says "Sold Through" which people are seeming to ignore...."

Purposeful ignorance. You know very well it means sold to customers. The bitterness is strong with this one.

"If Sony wins I will delete my account and ban myself from this commenting on this site again."

You'll just sign on to one of your alternate accounts.

[avengers1978]

@sevir 5.2 million to 6 million XB1s is a bit of an over estimation there probably a lot closer to 4 to 4.5 million

[solidjun5]

Hey uberpwnyexpress, I guess it's time for you to ban yourself. Hit the road jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.

[elsuperamigo]

But...but...but ps4 have.no.games!!!! Lol poor xbones and their inferior console

[Fireseed]

"Inferior"

[randomass171]

Xbox One has lower specs for sure (and some terrible PR) but it's not THAT inferior. It's playing the same games but with lower resolutions. Inferior, but not by much. Anyway, I'm really glad for PS4's success as well, but let's not use that to poke fun at Xbox fans. That's just tacky.

[TheTwelve]

Hmmm. 15 million sold this time next year?

[GribbleGrunger]

This time next year? Try 22 - 24 million.

[randomass171]

Forget that, let's aim for 30 million!

[Magicite]

PS4 sells in average 1mil/month and thats not counting holidays and exclusive impacts.

[calis]

One Jillion sold!

http://static.tumblr.com/on...

[TitanUp]

Sony probably lost NPD that is why they announced this early, World matters more than NPD but none of it really matters to me.

x1 has been selling very well also

only thing i hope sells good is ff14 so we have more people to play with.

[nypifisel]

Xbox One is selling okey, but hardly what MS had hoped. I would be surprised if they sold more than 4.5 million to date, which is pretty crap comparing to the competition.

[cellur111]

According to vgchartz the xbone only sold 4.2m, so it isn't doing that good, considering it's still 2.8 million units behind PS4 and they launched at the same time. It's also 2 million units behind the wii u.

[TitanUp]

so did the xbox 360 sell bad? for now the x1 is keeping pace with the xbox 360.

[Gamer1982]

More Proof VGChartz underscores PS consoles there STILL at 6.9.. Sony states SOLD here not shipped and MORE than 7 million.

[ikkokucrisis]

and they probably buff the xbone numbers as well. the actual ps4 to xbone consoles sold ratio is probably a solid 2:1.

[hellzsupernova]

Calm down a site that tracks numbers was only a bit off. They say they are a prediction, stop bearing down they do the best they can with the data they have at the time

[Conzul]

I predict(ed) 24+ mil by Christmas of this year. Still holdin' to it XD

[Jazz4108]

The way sony is selling assets and closing studios amd laying off people and canceling new ips, I think gamers will start to take notice and this lead will slow pretty quick imo. Sony needs games to support this console and all I see is 3rd party. E3 will be a good telling if we are in for a dry ps4 year full of remasters are is Sony really know what they are doing by all these jobs lost. This is my opinion.
.

[Ricegum]

Oh god @ Jazz

There's always one idiot.

[showtimefolks]

this shows that you can make a console and target the gamers and do really well. congrats to sony

i think by end of 2014 ps4 could be 15 plus million sold

[Sevir]

The sales analysis from reputable analysts say 23+ million, because the holiday season is when consoles sell the most! They'll be shifting 1.5 million per major territory between October, November and Xmas with much less supply constraints, strong fall/winter software line ups and promotions marketing campaigns...

I'll say they'll sell through 17-20 million PS4s by years end.

[harrisk954]

And this is SOLD THROUGH to consumers, not SHIPPED... Good going Sony!

[kenshiro100]

-whistles- Really good numbers. I'm getting one soon.

[insomnium2]

Same here.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Like a lot of other people in that 7 million, I bought a PS4 because of the overhype train of fanboys telling me that its the greatest thing on the planet..4 months and still no games later (infamous SS is about as long as Ryse, lol Didnt expect that) Bought a XBOX ONE.. Sweet Better online play ( Cod Ghost, Battlefield 4) Better games Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, hell even Ryse is awesome, just short. Graphics on Ps4 look the same. I guess Sony Fanboy have the kind of eyes that can see every little pixel from about 6 to 10ft away. If you want to buy another hype machine, get a Wii. I like to compare PS4 to Call of Duty, just because the immature kids found and can afford it doesnt make it a better system.

[Chespin]

The fact all your comments complain about how dumb Sony and it's fans are lead me to believe you never touched a PlayStation in your life. Hateful little man.

[Whiskeyjacked87]

Not long before you lose all your bubbles like me Making ridiculous statements like these.

[CKPan]

I have 55" TV, you bet I can see every pixel!

[jessupj]

Maybe you should give that PS4 to some that actually appreciates games, since you obviously don't.

But we both know you never did buy a PS4, don't we?

I also recommended a good optometrist since you have great difficulty seeing apparently.

[Sevir]

You'd have been more credible if you just said you purchased an XBO instead of PS4. Lol run along. 20 million software sold today says 7 million gamers actually enjoy playing games on their PS4s. Take your fanboy drivel to the XBO dashboard and enjoy your XBO. You sound butthurt

[jkendrick]

@ex

Sure you bought a PS4? Gamers today, now hype made you buy a console, you can't stand on your own two feet? So basically your a follower or a troll, which one?

[SuperDan-Dare]

@jkendrick

"So basically your a follower"

Put aside whether he's troll or not, aren't the majority on contributors on here followers or fanboys to some degree? Whether it's Sony or Xbox?

[XxExacutionerxX]

Ps Fanboys yeah you called it, never touch a playstation console before, lol I buy consoles that try something new and are different, not cookie cutter consoles are just kind of an upgrade from previous gen. What has sony Playstation created? Thats is short list, very short list What has the Playstation ripped from other companies? Thats a long list and fanboys like you love to think Sony created that and made it better, lol Remember Ps Move, lol
Oh, and why are sony fanboys hating kinect but are buying and selling out the ps camera which is a kinect rip off. I guess Microsoft saw a camera looking at you as part the future in gaming, then Twitch happen, now everyone wants a camera looking at them when playing games. No, Ive own every playstation console, but I looking back at who makes gaming better. Xbox Online Gaming (still the best), sharing, party chat, achievements,.. and Nintendo are still the kings of creating new ways to game on console. Playstation 4 is 7 million strong verus Xbox One 4 million and thats good.. Call of Duty sell the most in game sales almost every year Doesnt make it the best game. Sony Playstation is a follower. Microsoft and Nintendo brings it, Playstation rips it, Sony Fanboys Praise it.

[reaperofsouls]

i predicted 6.5 -7.5M ps4s and 3.5 - 4 m xbones for end on march at xmas this year , i have been vindicated it seems.

i predict 13-14 m ps4s and 7-8 m xbone for xmas.

Watch this space!!

[Leaguer]

Meanwhile, MS will soon announce that in just this month alone, XBONE has made over 27.5 million......combos in Killer Instinct. :D

[droc1123]

And they said console gaming was dying. Ha, long live gaming consoles. Gamers speak for the industry not analysts.

[paleselan]

Damn, one million per month is kinda amazing.

[T2]

12 million in a year would be staggering, no doubt about it... some people didn't even predict ps4 to hit 7 million on the year lol.

and they just went through january and february, two of the worst months other than august.

[M83_]

I'm banking on 12 million sold by the end of the year too.

Seems so conservative a number with the current rate it's selling as is, never mind taking the busy holiday period into account, and I don't think it'll have the typical slow summer consoles usually have either -what with the last of us remastered coming out. A bundle of that bad boy with some decent marketing would make a big splash to non-PS3 owners because it'll be like a brand new game to them -hell, even I'm excited for it, and I bought it for PS3 already! I am a massive ND fan tho :D

I'll stay at 12 million for the sake of conservatism, but in all honestly could see this selling 15 by the end of the year.

[avengers1978]

If they stay on this path they will likely be at 15 million by the end of the year.

[randomass171]

It's what happens when your system is the most well known and desired among the big three.

[AceofStaves]

Congrats to Sony on their well-deserved success.

[Flyingdog670]

More Consoles sold means more games :) By the time i pick up my PS4 it'll probably would have passed the 9 million mark if it keeps selling at this rate. And people said these consoles wouldn't sell as much as the last gen consoles.

[GrandpaSnake]

same here if it wasnt for all my friends owning one already and me getting to play all the awesome games o would of bought one but ill hold on just a bit longer, im looking forward to phantom pain and a new rpg.

[Flyingdog670]

Hell Yea, Phantom Pain is probably going to be my first PS4 game, i was thinking of waiting to get Ground Zeros, but I guess i'll by the ps3 version instead cx.

[Mr-Dude]

I am looking forward to good RPG also. Hoping for Fallout 4 at this years E3...

[Jls1]

wish I had mine but I'm waiting for some games I want prob be around xmas

[IIZANGETSUII]

I just don't see how the PS4 could possibly slow down in sales, i mean E3 its just around the corner and big announcements thats for sure.

[GarrusVakarian]

With upcoming exclusives and better versions of multiplats (which are already selling much more on PS4) with exclusive PS content, i don't see things slowing down either. I such a PS2 feeling from the PS4. Return of the king?

[psforward]

Definitely getting the PS2 feeling, hope we get the same diversity in games.

[mkis007]

Its the indies that are truly giving me the ps2 feeling...games games games.

[rainslacker]

Console sales traditionally level out and then pick up when price cuts and big releases come out. They don't usually drop until well after a new generation comes out. For instance, the PS1 and PS2 sold like crazy after their successors released.

[MasterCornholio]

-opens a beer-

Oh yeah.

:)

Congrats Sony.

P.S Its been a while since Microsoft had announced anything regarding sales.

[ape007]

WoW just Wow, congratulations sony, ps4 is a beast of a machine

[sonic989]

i agree DK brother
i always vote for originality over genericness .
its the PS2 era all over again .
nintendo having a great handheld sony is having a great console both companies look to create memorable experiences .
i wish microsoft would change their genres a little bit i am counting them out because they focus on shooters only

[Roman3mPiRe86]

Daayyyyummmm bro! that's crazy. I just hope games become as fun as before like instead of having micro transactions just add more easter eggs to unlock things

[Majin-vegeta]

That PS domination.Congrats Sony.

[Jughead3416]

Check out PS2's sales figures. PS4 is starting off way ahead of this historic console.

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wi...

[choujij]

Very true.

[Summons75]

Only 7mill, uhoh Sony is doooooomed....

Just kidding, that's great and well deserved.

[thehitman]

Expected. Sony deserves it they worked their asses off to turnaround their mishaps from last launch.

[ltachiUchiha]

Great job Sony. They deserve it. Im kinda surprised MS has been quiet with their sales numbers. Not like their doing bad but its just odd because last gen they were usually always the 1st to announce sales for the month.

[Tales RPG addict]

Damn Sony now that's impressive. At this point PS4 will sell more than 10 million consoles before the year is over.

[plasticidolatry]

Vgchartz undertracking by 100k+ right now.

[Gamer1982]

What else is new? More proof they are constantly undercutting PS numbers..

[MemphisMayFire1993]

Cant wait to buy me a PS4!

[Jughead3416]

You won't be disappointed.

[choujij]

Bubble vote up cause of your name. lol One of my favorite bands.

[Lowsnamebrand]

Congrats indeed to sony they deserve it. Still happy I was one of the first million to own one

[Gore-Content]

M$ right now:

[Kemosabe]

Great job Sony. Ps4 is just selling like a beast.

[Bernlock]

SOLD THROUGH it says.... Are we just ignoring that part? Remember when Microsoft was bashed when they gave an update that said SOLD THROUGH

Edit: Hicken that is the biggest piece of spin job bullshit I think I have ever read on this site. And thats saying something

[Hicken]

Sony can say sold through because they're consistently selling out.

On the other hand, Microsoft only said sold, implying sold through while they meant sold to retailers.

[mkis007]

You over explained and confused him. He doesn't know sold through means to consumers.

7 million ps4's = have been bought and paid for by people. I am a sold through sale.

[GarrusVakarian]

Sold through means directly sold to customers, not just sitting on store shelves......

Over 7 million PS4's SOLD THROUGH to customers. Why so salty?

[BitbyDeath]

MS got bashed cause they lied about their numbers.
MS sold through 3.2 million and they tried to claim 3.9 million after Sony announced selling 4.2 million.

[TIER1xWOLFPACKx]

Sold through means sold to the consumer, MS said sold to retail when they put out the 3.9mil statement when they sold through 3.2mil to the consumer

[MysticStrummer]

Ignoring what part? That sold through means sold to consumers? What…?

[kenshiro100]

And your downplaying has to be the biggest pile of rubbish I have ever read.

Give credit where it's due.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

@uberpwnyexpress
You don't know what sold through means ROFLMFAOOO!!
AHAHAHAAH!!

[MasterCornholio]

Wow your really hurt by this.

[Hicken]

Well deserved.

[SpinalRemains138]

Oh yeah?......well....um....Xbone users have killed like at least twice that many zombies and stuff.

Have you seen Titanfall?

[Mr Pumblechook]

Xbone had more users stream Twitch on the first day it was available then any other next gen console had when Twitch was first available!

[beebap]

Yea after ps4 made it popular and not all ps4 users have camera to stream. Ustream where its at with the weirdos on playroom.

[choujij]

lol I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious with your comment.

Obviously it's because Twitch launched on Xbone after it's install base was already in the millions, contrary to twitch launching on PS4 at the same time the system launched.

[Mr Pumblechook]

@choujij. Of course i'm having a joke! I'm just reiterating Microsoft's PR stats but unless you signpost it, N4G commentators miss it!

[johndoe11211]

My apple juice came out my nose LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

[Predaking77]

Remember that Sony's projections was 5 million at the end of March? They surpassed their own expectations by 2 millions, that's pretty amazing.

Microsoft may have sold more consoles on march and only in 1 territory but that doesn't compares to the wordwide domination of the PS4, the leading console of this generation.

[king_george]

PS4 is going to absolutely DESTROY the competition this gen. Its like they remembered what they did for the PS1 and PS2 and said "oh yeah lets just do that again"

[OrangePowerz]

As they say, if you build it they will come. And if you buipd a games console focused on games gamers will buy it.

[Austin48]

It seems that ps4 sales about 1 million each month congrats Sony for making an excellent console side note I can't wait to play The Last of Us 2 on it later in the future:)

[cell989]

not according to VG chartz :S

[T2]

Oh lolchartz will update and then brag how accurate they are lol

[cell989]

precisely lol

[leemo19]

I feel sorry for MS, with all the changes they've done to get gamers back they still can't keep up with Sony. Can't imagine what it will be like when the AAA really start coming in for the ps4, it will be like the ps2 complete dominance.

[Raider69]

Microsoft needs to get the Xboxone price lower than the PS4 for the machine be able to pick some steam.And frankly i think that Microsoft also needs to be carefull not with the PS4 but with Nintendo Wii U, right now they dont stand a chance agaisNt the PS4 and with the Wii U about to start releasing games like MK 8,Bayonetta 2,X,SSB..games that are only avaiable on the Wii U not to mention the ones that are already released on the Wii U exclusive i think Microsoft fight is more with Nintendo and the Wii U than with Sony and the PS4.Most People i know are getting PS4 and WII U,Ps4 for better multiplatform games and Sony exclusives and Wii U for Nintendo exclusives.When i ask why not A PS4 and Xboxone,well the Xboxone is overpriced and dont have at the moment any exclusives they want on the other hand the Wii U have already some great exclusives and more to come this year also,not to mention is priced way lower than a New Xboxone.Sony haves the advantage now and most likely will have it the entire generation the PS4 was released with gamers in mind and fast developing tools and hardware for developers theres a reason why im seeing more and more PC main developers chosing to release there games exclusive to the PC and Ps4 and saying that the Xboxone version is an afterthought.

[Aceman18]

my combo right now is PS4 as main, and Wii U as secondary console.

the only game that has me remotely interested in XB1 is Quantum Break, and that's not enough to shell out $500 for.

[choujij]

You lost me at "I feel sorry for MS".

XD

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Fastest selling console of all time. Good job Sony ! Now you have another console that has the potential to sell good in the Vita, its just that you don't advertise it at all. PS4 is kicking ass and it can't be stoped. For a console with no games (according to M$ fanboys) this is amazing.

[Skate-AK]

Good. They deserve it.

[candy_mafia]

@Cell989 >Think I'll take Sony 'official' numbers over VG chartz incorrect 6.9m, under by approx 300k units.

I called it (7.2m) a few days ago (check my comment history), Sony sold over 7m on April 6th, now is 16th, so add approx. 200k to that figure.

On a side note, Xbox One is beating 360 sales over similar periods, which is awesome. I estimated 3.9m (poss. 4.1m now, since the unofficial price cuts) Xbox One's sold to consumers.

Just need MS to confirm it. I was 100% right about PS4 figures though.

[KinjoTakemura]

Still Looking for Sony to move 20 million units by the end of the year.

[pwnsause_returns]

nah, i dont think they will push 20 mil by the end of this year, im going to say 15 mil by the end of this year.

[Fullmetalevolust]

Now N4G let me win that PS4 this month so I can start buying some ps4 games!
OT: congrats to Sony, the more it sells the more developers will flock to it, the better the game selection.
Now let's focus on the Vita and sell it just as well.

[hkgamer]

20.5 million. That's like 3 games per console. Not bad for half year.

Surprised that I have more than the average =D

[BlakHavoc]

When it comes to sales, I'm sorry but PS fans have the better argument lol. Worldwide sales matter more than just US numbers. So even if MS wins the month of March in the US, I'm sure Sony still dominated worldwide sales.

[mkis007]

the crazy thing is even 1 console sale more for ps4 than x1 in the US is a win any week it happens. IT is MS only hope due to how they designed their console. IT only actually works as envisioned in the US.

[DarXyde]

Many things are considered OP in gaming:

-Metaknight (Brawl)

-Wesker (Resident Evil 5 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3)

-King Boo (Mario Kart Wii)

And now...PlayStation 4 sales.

Well done, Sony. I'm honestly quite thrilled they remember what made PlayStation a household name. I think PS4 will have a very bright future. Admittedly, I am concerned about their recent restructuring efforts. As long as it doesn't produce reason for critical concern (i.e., discontinuing PS4 due to outstanding production costs) I will take it all in good faith.

Here's to a larger install base and hopefully more games.

[dddooozzz9]

Congratulations Sony!

[xX1NORM1Xx]

I'll be getting mine soon for infamous just a bit expensive for me ATM

[Tripl3seis]

I'm glad I got mine and enjoying it a lot

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Very, very impressive!

Strange that they're making this announcement right before the next NPD.

[NeloAnjelo]

They've done this without Titanfall and the supposedly "lack of games" crap being spewed by haters.

The Last of Us, Drive Club, and other games this year will push sales further ahead. PS+ will continue to be more compelling than Games with Gold and indies and FTP will thrive on the Playstation Network.

Bring on E3!

[Donnywho]

Holy crap, it just came out.

[UsUcK]

Congrats Sony.

[TBONEJF]

Can't wait tillE3 14' see what hot titles SONY have to offer. i haven't got my PS4 but savor for the HOTTEST TITLES for this year later in the fall.

[Speak_da_Truth]

playstation Domination

[Delsin_Rowe]

Hope by E3 they sold 3-5 more millions PS4 plus help increase the fan base of Vita too please so I could play with more PS fan around the world in the Vita Universe.

[GeofferyPeterson]

Sweet! 7,000,000 million units sold, only 6,993,000,000 more people to go!

[LetoAtreides82]

So weird that MS has been so silent for so long, they've always been very aggressive in promoting their sales figures. My guess is that they are very disappointed with the Titanfall numbers and are having private discussions on how to handle the media. Wouldn't surprise me if we see some personnel changes in MS soon.

[mkis007]

Well we already saw the first chink in the armor with the last time they announced a sales figure they said 3.9 sold to retailers... I think it is the first time they ever mentioned sales that weren't sold through.

[mochachino]

Fingers crossed it makes devs lead on PS4.

[Bathyj]

Well thats the thing isnt it. Im not happy about this because I need to feel superior or win in a measuring contest.

I'm happy about this because Sony deserve the accolades as the only company thats always put gamers first, and because this ensures devs lead with the more powerful console which they are only doing because it is the more popular console.

Its good for the whole industry, its good PS4 gets the best possible version, and its still good for XBone as the game will always be similar, it just wasnt hamstrung from the get go in the design process. And its good for PC's too as a rising tide lifts all boats and the lead platform will be closer to its capabilities than if it were being built from the ground up for the weakest platform.

Good times all round.

[mkis007]

I called it when the specs for ps4 and x1 were announced. Major benefits to pc gamers would follow. A PC revolution almost, and it is just getting started. And yet all the elitists see is how poor console gamers are.

[ironmonkey]

ff online might be another reason for it to.

[Ethereal]

Good for them! The decision to take a step towards what gamers want has payed off.

[criticalkare]

10 million by end of the year?

[DarXyde]

Assuming demand remains high (and I think it will), and Sony keeps on their production schedule to meet demand by summer, I'm thinking 13-14 million by year's end and 17-18 million by FY 2015 end.

[Ninver]

And the onslaught continues lol. Great achievement by Sony. I luv my ps4 so much.

[MasterofMagnetism]

Well done. Should hit 10 million by Summer.

[xKugo]

Good Lord...
*Looks at PS4 sitting next to PC*

[SoulSercher620]

Amazing number there. I predict at the end of the summer it'll hit 14 million.

[Father__Merrin]

By the the gods, this is splendid news

[LightDiego]

But, but, console gaming is dead according to the pc master race!

[Tatsuya]

There's no pc master race,. there's only PS4 Master Race :)

[TH3BR3W]

*starts a slow clap hoping everyone will join in*

Very well done Sony ^_^

[DoggyBiscuit]

Nintendo & M$ could learn something from sony

[FITgamer]

PS4 still in beast mode.

[Lonnie18]

Sony is off to a great start this generation :)

[Thomaticus]

The truth is..there are no losers here. Sony is selling best, and MS is selling good as well. There's health competition and the Industry is going well overall. I'm just glad the Sony has worked hard to push the envelope.

[tanookisuit]

Especially with all those [doom] articles saying this will be the last generation of consoles/gaming industry is failing/video game software sales are slumping, etc. etc. What a relief!

[HappyWithOneBubble]

7m in 5 months. I expected 12m by the 1st year but the way PS4 is moving now I think it can do 15m. I won't be surprise if it hits 20m.

The lead keeps growing over XB1. Multiplats selling best on PS4 and the best exclusives on PS4.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

No time to celebrate, gotta keep pushing Sony, this is just the beginning.

[D-riders]

Remote play chat plz

[JayD-1K]

you can talk to ANY PS4 player from your VITA!just start the party chat function.

[madcowz64]

That's funny I just bought one today.

[S2Killinit]

Well deserved. Wonder how many they will sell by next year

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

I have bills and a house to pay for but I also have my PS4 in layaway and will have it home by the end of May.

[nix]

i read it like this:

"I have bills and a house to pay,
but I also have my PS4 in layaway;
and will have it home,
by the end of May."

[sAVAge_bEaST]

First to 6 Million Wins -Don Mattrick

First to 7 Million BEASTs -Myself.

[DJ]

E3 is going to be really interesting. Based off the sales charts, their only constraint is supply. They'll probably be able to announce "8 million sold", or possibly "2:1 Sales Ratio with Xbox". Microsoft is probably dreading it. Nintendo won't even be available for comment.

[sgtGanGreen]

YEY now even 7 year olds started to buy ps4.
Happy. Now I will hear more crying and bitc*ing over chat

[nix]

Congrats Sony. You guys deserve it.

[jimbobbeers]

Well done.

I personally don't get why its selling so much, I mean no big hitters have arrived yet, remarkable really, but still you have to applaud the Sony PR team for that. I suspect they'll have sold 15M by end of 2014.

[noctis_lumia]

expected
sony got another gen in the bag

[Father__Merrin]

Merrin predicts 10 million ps4's sold will be around the corner very soon. and theres NOTHING anybody can do about it!!!

[shadyiswin]

@jagin

a team shooter game is pointless,nothing more than a rental and you named so many weak playstaion exclusives that were pointless lol...beyond two souls...heavy rain...puppeteer!!! lmfao

[chaosdemon09]

Awesome for Sony but they gotta keep it up. Xbone is closing in since target and other big box retailers did that price cut for 449 with titian fall and a year of Xbox live . The xbones litterly went from just sitting there to selling like crazy to the point where out of stock again. Ps4 is of course always selling out but ya.. I think Sony just has to continue to help dish out there games and they"ll beat the xbone but I think they only have a 2 million lead now.

[Flames76]

Just so you know the demand is over for the PS4 they are everywhere now.Walmart,target,gamestop,an d online

[MasterCornholio]

"demand is over"

Nope its still selling.

Your wrong and I'm right.

"Now king me" Johnny Bravo

[chaosdemon09]

I know that but since the price cut by the xbone its actually selling well at the big box stores when before the price cut they where just sitting there.

I work at a target they literately went from sitting on the glass case for months on end to selling out in less then a day once the price cut happened.

Sony is selling well I know but the xbone is going to creep up. The buddle for 449 is actually a good deal and I hate to admit that. Being a die hard ps fan.

Mircosoft is paying for the self space as well. They have a sidecap and a front cap for games and there console. While sony is just paying for a isle cap for there ps4. Granted again the ps4 sells out every time. But we get maybe 2 of those every month. While the xbones we get like 8 to 10 a week. Just saying supply and demand is going to catch up to sony. I'm just worried this lead is going to be lost soon enough.

[Illusive_Man]

What he means is the supply issue is not really one.

[shadyiswin]

you're a 100% right,i run the electronics dept at walmart and its the same deal,xbox has its on endcap and have been selling very well since the drop,the ps4 continue to sell well but its not nearly how it was,people arent calling in for them or shocked we have them. Keep in mind xbox destroyed sony in the states last gen so its typical for american stores to favor the xbox brand.

[Solid_Penguin-64]

More sales means more support so great to hear
Good times ahead for PS guys!
:D

[Walker]

There will be blood at ms :D

[tompoulo]

Just bought mine yesterday!!! Such an amazing device!!!! I am super impressed!!! :)

[S2Killinit]

And E3 is going to be amazing. Sony is already announcing games outside of any convention, which leads me to predict that they must have a ton of stuff to say at E3, otherwise tgey wouldnt be giving away game announcements so freely. (MS on the other hand, we have to take their word for it that they "havs a ton of stuf"f). Also there is the morpheus, which im super hyped for! Cant wait to see some games running on VR (:

[CLOUD1983]

In about 2 years it will be necessary to buy a PS4 atm it's too early imo at least for me when UC4, MGS V & FFXV all have been released it will be the perfect time to grab one, those 3 games have more than enough impact to make some1 get one no matter what.

[Flames76]

I was expecting more since the PS4 is in 59 countrys already but not bad.I know the X1 is at 5 million in 13 countrys which is amazing and can only imagine what it will do when it hits the 26 countys in september this year.Good job to both though nice to see consoles are still kicking more than ever.I do find it funny that the NPD hasnt released their numbers yet for march since they always do by the 13th of each month.I wonder since the X1 outsold the PS4 in the U.S and titanfall on the X1 was the number 1 selling game in march that sony paid the NPD to hold off on the numbers?

[etownone]

Great for Sony.
They did everything right.

I bet official price drop of Xbox One with Kinnect and Titanfall game code announced very soon. $399

[Nunchez]

Brilliant! I'm glad I contributed.

[saimcheeda]

Great job by Sony!

[matt139]

People praising sony and congratulating them when the company couldn't give a flying fuck about you. The decisions they made were entirely about profit like any organisation. Putting a company on a pedestal because you're in love with their console is utterly cringe worthy.

[Ch1d0r1]

Sony doesn't need Titan Flop to sell systems!

[90Supra]

http://replygif.net/i/1496....

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Sony is on fire. I agree, they've been good to gamers and I am glad to see this.

[T2]

NPD shows sony sells most in march... time for the meltdown to begin.

[BigDollarZoe954]

part of that 7 million loving the PS4
