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.

BlizzardDHharrys00007 Lol its funny how a Wii U sold more but, I don't see why they would as there terrible
That's incorrect, the Wii U sold over 425,000 over the first week of release. Whereas PS4 sold over double that in 24 hours.
Correction for you, if you read it right you would see it says in the US only "the Wii U sold 425,000" and "the PS4 only sold 197,000 units" and as I say again in the US only so the Wii U has still beat the PS3 but only in the US

KatsumiImgBurn 1 million isnt that much but i quess thats only 1 day
Seeming that Sony only sold 197,000 PS3's on launch it is a significantly better launch then that of the last generation
That's a large step up if you ask me.
