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.

Recess Isn't that about as much as the Xbox One sold?
Not about.
Little less than what the Xbone sold.

MagiKAQGossipHxD Wow Xbox one will probably do the same
Xbox One should do more than that.
Most probably will :/ but they will both sell a lot more at christmas
The ps4 should be winning by sales compared to Xbox.
It's not.
Xbone outsold PS4 just like it was predicted to do.

I find it so funny that people keep bring up the whole PS4 hardware issue (HDMI Ports) when things point to them being sabotaged. Which is not Sonys fault >_>
