PlayStation 4 sold 1 million units in first day of availability

4.4
PlayStation 4 sales passed the one million mark within the console's first 24 hours at retail, Sony announced this morning. The PS4 launched in North America on November 15, so that figure is restricted to the US & Canada; the console comes to Europe on November 29, and Japan on February 22, 2014.

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.

Get outta here when a console is made door you it's supposed to be fresh to play out the box.
Not have the customer do some half a** gimmick they come up with.


People like you are the main reason I'm getting a ps4. The xbox community is so immature.

Have fun when thousands of parents get their 12 year kids ps4's for christmas instead of the xbox one because it was $100 cheaper.


You do know statistically more under 16 year olds own a Xbox 360, 64% of PS4 owners are over 16. Fan boys will stay with there shitty box which means more little kids will be bought a box for christmas.

You're kidding right? The PS4 community has been WAY more immature than the Xbox One community. Now you're stereotyping the entire Xbox One community based off of one person. We could be 100x worse jumping on the PS4's launch problems and laughing at people that got a PS4 but we don't, meanwhile PS4 fanboys are still jumping on the CoD and Battlefield 720p bandwagon. They'll also probably jump on the slightest problem at Xbox One launch that is insignificant.


To be honest you just proved him right..

Sam- Xbox One will sell over 15 million on launch I reckon.


I think you accidentally added on the "million" part. even then 15 consoles is pushing it. I hear that con artists are buying old VCR'S from charity shops ad scrapping a big XBOX ONE mark on it. To be fair who could tell the difference, same graphics, Same 80s look and has massive shoulder pads, wait what..


You are actually **** retarded.

AccuAir And out of how many of them had problems?


Well the number they gave was .4% so if they sold a million that's 4000 consoles out of every million sold would have an issue.


which i highly dubt it was .4%. out of the 20 ppl that i know that got it, only 3 didnt have any problems with it. so i think it was just only .4% reported problems with it.
