Sony announces PS4 sales total 2.1 million, 700K in Europe, Australasia

4.6
Sony announced this morning that PlayStation 4 sales exceed 2.1 million as of December 1, with 700,000 consoles sold across Europe and Australasia across their launch weekends. The number is again stipulated as sell-through, meaning it represents units sold to customers rather than retailers, as estimated by Sony Computer Entertainment.

According to Sony's numbers, PS4 sales have now doubled since its first day of availability in North America, boosted by launches across Europe, Australasia, and Latin America last week. The console looks on target to meet SCE America President and CEO Jack Tretton's prediction of 3 million sales by the end of the year. Sony is aiming for 5 million sales by the end of March 2014, boosted again by the console's launch in Japan on February 22.

I work in a game shop and Sony have sold more because they simply supplied the demand where as the xbox one failed too, if xbox gave more to sell it would blow the PS4 out of the water, then again the amount of PS4's that have been returned faulty is pretty large too so the extra consoles were required! (xbox FTW!)

Also... were the hell is Australasia?
