PS4 reaches 7 million worldwide as Infamous : Second Son sells a million at launch

Insiderp : "Courtesy of a monstrous shipment of PS4 units in the extended last 2 weeks amidst very high consumer demand, PS4 reached 7 million units globally for the extended Infamous Week ending March 28, 2014. For the extended week, PS4 outsold the Xbox One by a whopping 7:1 across the PAL region. Below are the numbers for the entended week ranging from March 17,2014 to March 28,2014. Infamous : Second Son reached a million at the same time. "

[Sammy777]

FYI . these euro numbers are all fake http://www.vgchartz.com/wee...

PS4 sold well over 100,000 units across europe for each of the weeks ending March 16/23

[ZodTheRipper]

I don't believe any of these numbers as long as they're not coming from an official source.

[Bernlock]

Titanic failure??? How???

[UltimateMaster]

Wait until official numbers comes up from credible sources like NPD.

VGChartz Only display what is shipped and not sold. It's only an estimate too.

The PS4 continues to be sold out everywhere.
Microsoft buying 3rd party exclusives is only helping Sony selling more of it's exclusives.

[bigfish]

@Hatsune-Miku

How can PS4 be the future and the future be the PS4 at the same time? Surely its one or the other? its either the PS4 is the future and the future is PS4, or its the future is the PS4 and not the PS4 is the future.

[Kribwalker]

@hatsune
Rehashed game sells maybe 1 million, with 7million consoles for it, gigantic success. New take on an old genre sells maybe 1 million with almost 4 million systems out and it's a titanic failure. That argument seems extremely flawed

[Biggest]

I agree about waiting for credible numbers, but NPD won't have PAL numbers.

[abzdine]

i can't even imagine what will happen with Gran Turismo comes out.

[CrazedFiend]

@Evilsnuggle

sale, sell, sold, sells...

wow, that is confusing, isn't it?

On topic:

7 million though? That's amazing. It went from a number nobody imagined possible, to a number everyone predicted, to a number that Sony made happen.

Well, official numbers aren't out yet so it may be too early to say that. But in any case, way to go Sony!

[Eonjay]

I agree. I think its awesome if they did, but these numbers seem sky high. Inside Derp was right about the 5.3 million days before Sony announced it so it will be interesting to see if Sony confirms this. It would, at the very least add credibility to this site, which at the moment is more than questionable. 180k in the UK for that weekend is really, really high.

[nightsurge]

Fake site, fake/guess numbers. Some fanboy with nothing to do and terrible web design skills. PS4 and Infamous are no where near that high.

[fr0sty]

@nightsurge

You can dismiss the site all you want, but they have a good track record. Far better than VGChartz.

[Ritsujun]

Don't give up, MS!!!!!!!!

[abzdine]

@nightsurge:
you fanboy have nothing to do either since you also base your judgement on nothing but fanboy speculations.
and sorry to disappoint you but PS4 has sold over 7mil.

[JoGam]

I really don't know why some people care. Sometimes they act like they're making the money.

[logan_izer10]

Well, sales has a very big impact on the future of the game and studio. So, in that sense people should care. I Agree though with what you're saying.

[TRGMatt]

Gotta be the one with the new, in thing. "More people buying a PS4? I better jump on that bandwagon so I have more people to relate to and call myself better!"

Cynicism aside, I'll be buying my PS4 when I have the money.

[JP1369]

More sales = intensified developer support and less chance of third parties making exclusives for the other system. So yeah, it matters to those that only have one system and don't plan on buying another one.

[QuickdrawMcgraw]

People care the same way people care about sport teams...Fans don't make money when their team wins,but they are happy and get a chance to rag on the fans of the rivals...It harmless fun...But some holier then thou's seem to look down on fans...

[Sayai jin]

@Quickdraw - Thats a terrible analogy. Comparing sports teams to console manufacturers. Usually people care about teams that are in their city, province, country for one. Your right they do not make money when their teams wins, but they can have a since of pride because that team is representing their area. Bragging rights that their city's soccer team is better than their mates. Or they get to know the players...you know human beings that have a personality. MS, Sony, Nintendo (or insert any company that makes products) make game consoles, accessories, and games that people love. It's cool to be a fan of these companies, but throwing blind loyalty or bashing another company is ridiculous. Cheering for sales compared to another consoles sales...what do you get from it? Do you get money? Do you have stock in that company? I like to see a console or game get the attention it deserves, but counting who has sold x amount of consoles a=for a particular month...geez. More sales equates to more devs support, but honestly all these companies are going to do really well this gen so they will have all the support they need. People are fans of Ford, BMW, etc, but I doubt they are counting how many 540is are sold. I can go on, but I'll stop at that.

[QuickdrawMcgraw]

Actually Sayai I have heard auto fans debate which make of cars are better,And what makes them better then a rivals...And to touch on the sports analogy...I hear a lot of people here in Canada rag on each other about their fav NFL teams...So one does not need to have a team,auto maker,or console developer,ect. ect. in their home town,city,province,state to support a fav product.And to enjoy the lively debate of their rivals...I could go on but....

[SilentNegotiator]

Because it affects the industry and people can't be blamed for wanting their favorite companies to succeed and increase their influence on the industry.

[Silly Mammo]

I think it boils down to human nature. People want to feel like that they are backing a winner. We are a society that has become more and more competitive...about everything. And who are more competitive than gamers? To many people its either you've won or you've lost.

Btw- I do feel watching a gaming console's numbers are a bit silly. But the more a console sells, the better the console will be supported.

[aquamala]

I don't get the sports analogy, only one sports team can win, how is the console business like that? and what determines winning? units sold? profits? stock price? sure I want my console and game companies to do well but to wish other companies to fail as if there can only be one winner is what I don't get.

and be honest, if money is no issue, why would you want to have just one console?

[fr0sty]

For some, it is the wanting to belong to a winning party, to be associated with the popular crowd that drives them to care. However, for many, it is the understanding that the console you own selling more units will mean that developers will take bigger risks knowing your console has a good enough install base that they'll still likely make their money even if sales aren't as high as they'd hoped.

Look at PS2. When it was tearing up the charts, we started seeing some of the most imaginative video games ever created coming out of left field from developers nobody had ever heard of before. Classics were forged by the dozens, games we still play sequels of today on our current consoles. Developers felt free to take risks and forge new genres. We just didn't see as much of that with PS3, or 360 really. Most devs stuck to familiar gameplay mechanics, mostly shooters, or relied heavily on sequels. I think most of us can agree that PS2 had the most diverse software lineup.

We're very likely to see that same kind of renaissance occur with PS4 with the way it is selling. We're already seeing some amazing innovation with Sony embracing the indies the way they have, however as install base numbers continue to climb we're going to start seeing a lot more risks taken at the AAA game level as well.

[Sayai jin]

@Quickdraw- You completely missed the point. Of course you have fans of Ford, BMW, etc and they may boast that there car is faster or better. But I doubt they are touting monthly quarterly sales data of the favorite automaker. Rivals? Nintendo, Sony, MS? My point went in line to the OP about people cheering on as though they are making money from this.

After reading your comment history your comment here makes sense.

[Kryptix]

More sales = More support

Compare support and sales of PS2 vs PS3 and Xbox vs Xbox 360.

If the console you're putting more money into is succeeding by a large margin then expect a lot of good things for it. That's why you can see the consumer being happy of their purchase.

Hopefully Sony really meant it when they said they were going back to the PS2 days. That means many, many more games for the consoleand that's always a benefit.

[LordMaim]

VGChartz isn't exactly an unimpeachable source either. I'm with zod18 on this one.

[Why o why]

Trust me.. its like they're trying to be legit when we know how it started. Their numbers get adjusted way too much. I cant view them as a reputable source because of the occasional time their guestimates are close to reality. A history of undertracking x whilst overtracking y doesn't fill me with confidence.

Im sure infamous has done great...I just dont trust vg chartz

[rainslacker]

They're not a bad source for officially released numbers. It's just their weekly projections which are typically off. Unfortunately, officially released number don't come weekly, nor do they come for every product they track. Generally the older the product being tracked the more accurate it is, but consoles themselves are an on-going sale.

[thisminetile]

Dude, I've been a member of VGC for quite some time, so I know how it works. And let me tell you, you can't take their numbers as gospel, either. They have been off by ~1M before for both the Wii and the PS3 (overtracking on Wii and undertracking on PS3), over the course of a year. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a great site for reference, ESPECIALLY if you are looking at numbers that are at least 6 months old, as they adjust when official numbers are announced. The community is pretty good, too.

[noctis_lumia]

butthurt buddy ?
enjoy ryse lol

[WilDRangeRrfc]

Enjoy Knack( I have both consoles and ISS and TF so don't even bother ) PEACE

[BDSE]

VGCharts is a joke, they make their numbers up and then historically revise them when the real figures come out.

Posting that link just makes you look like a fool.

[kowan]

Never use vgchartz as a source for sales data as it is never accurate on it's sources and info. It is a site that estimates sales, it does not and will never show ACTUAL, official sales data.

[nightsurge]

Insiderp.com is a fake site making fake claims. All of which have been wrong so far. Run by a sad fanboy with terrible web design skills lol. Infamous only sold about 600k first week.

[showtimefolks]

VGChartz is not a site to get accurate data when a game or system launches because most of their numbers are just guesses

but after some time they keep getting NPD date and keep updating their numbers, so its a site where you can see how a game game that came out a year ago sold but not for stuff that recently released

BTW Congrats sony by end of 2014 13-15 million systems sold is realistic IMO

[Gardenia]

@Sammy777

The link from the US vgchartz are from March 15

[TheLyonKing]

Will wait for official numbers but let me be the first to say I won't be shocked if that's true.

[ltachiUchiha]

Same here, i'll wait for official numbers but I would not be surprised if these numbers are legit especially with the high demand for ps4 & Infamous SS did have over a million pre orders.

nightsurge

U sound a little butt hurt lol.

[RaidensRising]

Really nice looking game alongside Shadow Fall. The two games justify the ps4 purchase now for anyone saying there are no games for the system.

[Blacksand1]

@Ben & BX81

How stupid do you 2 sound, your going to wait until 12/30/14 for the Order to come out to buy a PS4. All these games coming and your waiting for 1 game. Tell the true your mother said you got to wait for Christmas to get your PS4.

[akaFullMetal]

If these numbers are to be believed, then awesome. Then again it really isn't too surprising.

[DanielGearSolid]

After the Mortimer incident, I don't think anyone cares for insider info

[No_Limit]

You will be surprise, just wait about 10 minutes, 95% of the responses will challenge that assumption.

Edit @ Sammy below:
"The director came out and defended himself with bizarre stats which was pretty obvious."

Oh my, due don't even go there, if you find that the man left because he has to take care of his critically ill 4 yr old son, is a bizarre stat, then you are either heartless or Pete Dodd himself.

Shoot, I wouldn't surprise me if you are the mastermind that writes these articles at insiderp as every one of their articles are submitted by you.
http://n4g.com/source/home/...

[Sammy777]

Mortimer was right all along . The director came out and defended himself with bizarre stats which was pretty obvious. DC was supposed to be a ps4 launch title and millions have been spent on it already without any light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to release date.

Mortimer was 100% correct

@hudsoniscool

SONY did reserve 500k ps4 for Japan . It is just the demand wasnt there because of the lack of big titles so they diverted the shipment to US/PAL. Why do you think most ps4s these days were manufactured in Japan?

@longshot

yes dude yes . SONY gave the option of devs to either let go off themselves or face the fire with compensation . A lot of ps4 games have been delayed because the devs were kinda complacent

Mortimer is right on this. DC wont release until this fall

[Longshot28]

no...............just no.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

What did I just read

[liquidhalos]

I think you're disgusting person for that statement, calling out someone for looking after their ill child for the sake of a childish console war in downright wrong. I'd like to see your account banned.

[liquidhalos]

Don't pm me telling me not to be personal and offering excuses about Uncharted. It's unrelated to your slanderous post here. I still find you disgusting and I don't want further communication with you.

[No_Limit]

Who is insiderp?, never heard of them, are they more reliable than VGchartz?

Edit Below:

After the inFamousMortimer incident, I don't think any of these no-name sites or insiders hold any weight. For all we know, it is most likely a made up fan site run by you or me because there are nothing to back it up. To those the believe it, I say good luck. That goes to all systems as I am not trying to downplay the success of infamous or the PS4 as I am sure it sold great.

[kneon]

They have been lately, but they don't seem to have a long track record so who knows how reliable they are.

[Axios2]

They appear to be a site dedicated to hating on the X1 for desperate fanboys, just try and find 1 positive X1 article on that site, lol

[GTgamer]

Lmao because one insider messed up all other insiders should be punished becuz let's act like other insiders were never right(•ิ_•ิ) Insiderp may not have a long track record but ever since they started they have been reliable so far so I won't ruled them out yet and we all know the only people that want them to be wrong are Xone fans.

[jackanderson1985]

Insiders have been getting a lot of things wrong the last 2 months or so. It would seem they've closed the leaks. If u check back the last 2 months or so most the "inside" info that was correct could have been guessed like Sony showing off the VR at gdc

CBOAT was awful. Mortimer got called out big time. Thuway has been off for a while.

[GraveLord]

This site has been proven fake more than once.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

How is it any different from vgchartz?

[GraveLord]

Inderp is some random guy playing the guessing game.

VgChartz actually gets data from some retailers and estimates what they don't get.

NPD > VgChartz > Random Website called Insiderp

I can't believe I actually have to explain this to you. Should be common sense.

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

OMG Congratulations Sony!

Amazing success and well deserved. Infamous Second Son Rocks!!!

[hudsoniscool]

I'm not saying ps4 and infamous have not reached those numbers, but this site is a joke.
Isn't this the place that said there were 500k+ ps4's at launch on japan, when there was actually only 330k? Didn't it say infamous had 1 million pre-orders worldwide but only somehow only sold 1 million fw. If second son had a million pre-orders it would sell 1.4m+.
All I'm saying is this guy is not legit

[stuna1]

Yeah and I suppose that the million that pre-ordered the game had to pick it up the same day it was released too? It's a well known fact that people pick up pre-ordered games days after the initial release.

It was also known that the initial sales figures that were reported on Imfamous SS selling 375.000 copies was only a 1 day estimate also.

[Realplaya]

I pick mine up the day it comes out why else would I pre order.

[stuna1]

@ Realplaya

So because you pick your game up on the day it released doesn't mean everyone was able to! Things come up that can be a whole hell of a lot more important than picking up a pre-ordered game.

[Muerte2494]

He also needs to take into account that not all their pre orders were physical. I, like alot of other people went digital with infamous SS.

[stuna1]

Considering how well received Imfamous SS has been, coupled with the consistancy that the PS4 has been selling, is it really that hard to believe??

It's also well known that Sony was holding stock back for the release of Imfamous SS! But the fact that some like to pick and choose sales information only when it benefits the console they support....is you know telling of their biases.

[candy_mafia]

Wow! Go Sony!!!

7 million in under 5 months? If this is legit, is PS4 the fastest selling console in history?

PS4 is the equivalent of Michael Jacksons Thriller Lulz

[SourShoes]

Its looking like the numbers will be 2:1 by July. That will the devs' attention.

[Lolyta]

Sony be like : http://awesomelyluvvie.com/...
Nintendo : Show M$ some mercy
Sony : http://25.media.tumblr.com/...

[Bigpappy]

I am sure Infamous and PS4 are selling very well, but this site is speculating on all fronts. I think they need to disclose the source or sources of their info, for both consoles.

[cfc78]

1 for the fanboys best to wait for the official release numbers before any flag waving, can't see it being to far off though i think we all know imfamous has sold well.

[jessupj]

Yeah, while I believe this is most likely true, I say wait till official numbers before treating it as fact.

[ThatIrishGamer]

This site was debunked as wrong last week with their PS4 and Titanfall Uk numbers by the chief of MCV. Why do they keep having their articles linked to on this site?

[bmx_bandit]

Because everything pro-Sony is approved as a legit source on here.

[blackmanone]

Ah yes, the "everyone who doesn't agree with me is ruining this site" argument.

[RPG_Lover]

Sorry but unless this comes from Sony, I call BS.

[ltachiUchiha]

You would definitely believe it though if it were XB1 & TF sales right? Lol I agree with u but at the same time, realistically these numbers wouldn't surprise me if they were true because of the high demand for ps4 & Infamous SS did have over a million pre orders. So i'll wait for official numbers but like I said, I would not be surprised if these numbers are legit or even better.

[Illusive_Man]

My insider site says PS4 has sold 14 million consoles to date and infamous has sold 3 million copies at launch. People love the console so much they are buying 2-3 at a time, same for Infamous, people are buying multiple copies, literally so they can unwrap the second copy and beat the game again. It is like relieving the experience again and again. From the moment you open the wrapper to the moment you pop in the disc.

I will send a link to my insider website. I am sure lots of gamers on n4g will like my news.

[bmx_bandit]

My insider site says PS5 has sold 1324 million consoles to date.

I will send a link to my insider website too. I swear, i am a totally legit source
for that number. /s

[hkgamer]

hahhaa... sadly my source said that PS4 has sold 7 million globally but inFamous SS sold 10million.

[Father Murder X]

What are the exact qualifications to be an insider? any loser with a computer is an insider. These fanboys are making stuff up out of their asses and you all believe especially when the news is pro sony and anti-xbox. Thuway, misterx, and the rest of the bunch are just a bunch of losers trying to claim some kind of glory on the net. These websites play up to the SDF because they know how to get you all riled up. Some slob can write an article "why I hate X1" and you all would just eat it up.

The funny part is that no one ever questions how these people get their information especially when it comes to sales numbers.

What store reports to vgachartz?

Fanboys like Hatsune-Miku get some kind of sexual pleasure out of "sony domination". You all need to get a grip. Do you all ever just look back and read some of your posts. If Second Son sells 2 million in one day how the fuck is it making your life better. You all are fucking sick. is your life that pathetic that you have to put all of you hopes and dreams on a video game console. Go get some fresh air and a girlfriend. Take a bath and get out of your mother's basement.

No matter how much you bash MS/Xbox/Titanfall no one is going to take their shit back because you said so. i bet that some of you hang around best buy and gamestop trolling folks bashing the X1 and microsoft.

enjoy your purchase and shut the fuck up. Why does it bother you all how another man spends his money?

PS-I don't have either a Ps4 or X1 yet. I haven't been impressed with anything I have seen so far.

[rainslacker]

Funny you ask that.

An insider by definition should be someone that actually works in the industry. As such, an insider would be very unlikely to be posting anonymous messages on forums due to their job being at stake. It's also unlikely that they would have information regarding so many different policies and upcoming reveals from different companies unless they were very high up in management at a major console manufacturer or publisher.

What constitutes an insider nowadays is someone who knows someone(or multiple someones) within the industry, and is given information that they then go post on forums. There are of course controlled leaks, but those typically go to reputable gaming sites, and not some random forum poster.

As much as I hate to say it, the only credible people like that nowadays are well known game journalist like Geoff Keighley(I'm sure there are others, couldn't name one though). Despite him being more credible than most, we dismiss him out of hand...mostly due to him over-hyping like crazy, and coming off as a corporate mouth piece.

I have to say, I know quite a few people that work at various studios, some quite well, and they never talk about their work...at least not specifics. If they ever mention it, it's just that there is something cool they're working on, or possibly some of the ideas behind the technical side of it. They want to say, because it's exciting, but NDA's are taken quite seriously, and breaking NDA can make it hard to get a job once you inevitably get fired for breaking it. Every job interview I've ever been on required me to sign an NDA before I was even let in the door. Every one of them stressed the importance of that NDA before I ever walked out the door.

It's not to say that some of these "insiders" don't have multiple connections to people in the industry, but it's very hard to believe that they can gain so many specifics in the quantity that they do for them all to be true. I personally see very little motivation for a true insider to release any information, as it can cause quite a bit of damage in the wrong hands, such as the whole Adam Orth incident, which wasn't really an insider leak, but same difference I guess.

The problem with insiders today is that they are catching mainstream gaming press from their forum posts. The sites that use these people as sources get away with listing things as rumors, but only do the most cursory of fact checking before putting up their stories. Think about how many stories we see that say "We've contacted X company, and will update with their response should we get it". By then, the floodgates are open, and we get the knee jerk reactions and linking to such things as facts for the next 5-6 years.

[Flutterby]

People care about sales because if you don't get the expected sales you get third party support ala wiiu , that's why people care. Also why do you care so much about what other people use their time with hmmm.if you don't care gtfo of the thread imo.

[Ank666]

Omg these numbers are magical

Long live Play

[azure1990]

Well 7 million is kind of stretching the numbers. But I wont be shocked if it did hit 7 million. Didn't they just send out more consoles as well? Good for PS4 and infamous looks like a blast of a game. First game I'll buy on the ps4, when I purchase one. But we shouldn't down play X1, I'm shocked it's doing well with the bad rep they have. Seems like they are finally digging themselves out of hole. I'd also like to add, I want numbers from both companies not some websites that have zero, credibility.

[MasterCornholio]

They had a huge shipment of consoles the week that Infamous came out. That would explain the sales increase.

[rainslacker]

Sony's fiscal year ends tomorrow. They typically release official numbers by the end of April in their annual report. I believe MS fiscal year ends in July, and they also release an annual report, to which Sony will release a press release to say where they're at too, at least historically that's the case.

I wouldn't doubt that they're around 6.5-7 million by now given prior official numbers, which is good either way for Sony. MS is also doing pretty well, and aren't doomed by any stretch of the imagination.

[beerzombie]

When they report to share holders we will know the real numbers. They can not lie because it would be a criminal act. That's why Pac attack said the numbers are accurate at the end of the year everything else is educated guessing close but not 100%.

[Hicken]

Whether they're real or not- and why do people want to treat them as anything but speculation?- it doesn't seem unlikely.

Can't quite figure out why folks are upset when speculation doesn't turn out to be exact.

[Goku781]

Even if they didnt yet, fact is they will hit long before XBox One, I dont doubt that its somewhere around that ball park right now. If not, with those trade in deals for Xbox one, it might be sooner that later.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

But but but Titanfall ? Lol in all seriousness this is good news. I can't wait for E3. Sony probably has a lot to show us, Nintendo also. They aren't talking about their games every day like M$ out of desperation. And I love how Xbox fanboys love to say PS4 has no games. When it has more then the Xbox. They don't have a major exclusive launching until this fall. While Sony has MLB 14 The Show coming out in May. But 7 million in 4 months is really impressive. Now I'm hoping Nintendo can get their Wii U sells up.

[Flutterby]

I agree but it's "now I'm hoping Nintendo can get their Wii U *sales up." I don't know why so many people put sells where sales should be it doesn't even sound right reading it in your head. I am not having a go but it really annoys me every time there is a sales article.

For example "how many sales did you get today ?" " I hope you sell a lot today". Rant end.

[mixelon]

I'm so hlad someone else notices this, it's a little bit infuriating!

Look at all teh sells!

[whybag]

I really don't understand the "lol, PS4 has nothing but indies" hate. On launch day, I'd paid for two retail games, got one for free from Amazon, but had eight titles to play because of the PS+ games. I'm loving all the indies adding to my gaming ADD.

[Flamingweazel]

Just ignore the desperate xbots. Ps4 has mroe retail games the x1, After titanfall x1 is a wasteland. ps4 is gettign FF14 in 2 weeks, then MLB the show, drive club, x1 got nothing until fall.

[PSGojira]

I was ready to get a PS4 over the weekend but my radiator crapped out on me in my truck. I guess it wasn't time for me. Dammit!!! But I will have one.

[DC777]

PS4 is powerful enough to run your truck with no radiator...and at 60fps. Should have got one anyway.

[PSGojira]

I can only wish that were true

[Flutterby]

If you had a PS4 you wouldn't need a truck you wouldn't be going out once you put infamous in.

[whybag]

Be glad your expensive vehicle snafu happened before you spent lots of money on gaming, instead of buying the gaming stuff and then pinching pennies to try to fix the essentials. Take it from somebody that's...done it the other way.

[PSGojira]

Your right Whybag, I REALLY would've been pinching big time.

[5eriously]

quote = [****PS4 now has a solid 3 million lead over Xbox One globally]

Say no more. Let the numbers do the talking!

To all the doubters and hopefools out there! Time to rethink don't you think?

[mochachino]

If true, xone's price drop didn't have much effect.

[Gr1mmyshadows]

those are some awesome numbers

[kryteris]

makes me wonder if the GDDR5 is holding back availability.

[JuJuRMJ]

Congrats to Sucker Punch and Sony, well deserved.

[Ps4marksthespotnotX]

Gap is going to get even bigger from here, i guess titanfall just didin't have the pull factor ms wanted and needed.

[imXify]

Welcome to the PS4 train. Next stop is Chicago Watch Dogs.

[jjonez18]

The report from Sony at the end of the fiscal year will be interesting.

[MannGamer]

The insiderp site is even less realiable than vgchartz.
Seriously I though those were some solide numbers but as soon as I read insiderp I got totally disappointed...
Hopefully we get some real numbers soon. And I know Sony cannot wait to announced 7 millions sold.

[Thunderhawkxbox]

Woow someone just made a website and everyone thinking he is reliable don't worry if it was 7 milion Sony would say it

[MasterCornholio]

If it was 7 million now Sony would wait until their annual stockholder meeting to announce it. Dont worry you'll find out the numbers in April.

[Nine_Thousaaandd]

If this is true, which I'm sure it is...Microsoft better put on their marathon sandals...because Sony is sprinting and not looking back! Damn, 7 mil in 4 months...with only Killzone and inFAMOUS out is pretty impressive!

Here in The Netherlands the PS4 was released last November but I haven't seen a single unit on storeshelves, all are for pre-orders and a big retailer like MediaMarkt doesn't even take pre-orders anymore, demand is just to high.
The Xbox One won't be released here untill September, but you can just walk into a MediaMarkt outlet and buy an import from the shelve. They're just sitting there, waiting for people to buy them. But nobody does, they're all waiting for the PS4.

Next tuesday I may be joining a stampede again. Some shop closeby advertises with a few extra inFamous bundles they didn't expect to receive, and said bundles should even make it to the shelves...for 1 or 2 minutes:)
I love stampedes. Pushing and screaming and running and yelling. If it's as good as the last few stampedes I may even drop my PS4 should I be able to grab one - just to enjoy watching the masses throw themselves on the damn thing, and I have a new brawl to look out for.

[Mr-Dude]

Very much true... all stores here are sold out. (Limburg dan...)

[shadyiswin]

because the xbox one is only availbe in like 25% of europe lol,keep spinning numbers,ill keep playing good games most exclusives at that :D

[mkis007]

The rest of the world wont help xbox 1... at all... it never has. that is why they chose the 13 markets they sold best in last gen. And in each one the ps4 is still outselling the xbox 1. USA and UK too..that is bad.

And I'll enjoy having the most exclusives on my ps4. :)

[tgunzz]

Great sales (good for Sony)...

[LetoAtreides82]

Incredible! And well deserved for Infamous Second Son, just got the platinum earlier today and enjoyed the game a lot.

[_FantasmA_]

Duke is that you? Its me Paul.

[cyber_daemonx]

So infamous kicks Titanfail in sales, even though it was given away for free lololol.

As predicted.

[Joe913]

I feel sorry for the titan fall developers if EA had not made that exclusive deal behind their backs then they would be killing COD hope when they said they would release the sequel with EA they told them no more exclusive deals lol.

[IQUITN4G]

This is a reflection of the new Wii effect. Odd

[Austin48]

Just beat the game the other day and the gameplay was fantastic and graphics was excellent but the thing that disappointed me was I beat the game in 2 days and the story was short and I even took it slow but over all the game was still fun to go around in.IMO 8/10

[BlakHavoc]

You hit it on the head my friend, I couldn't of said it any better. Gameplay was excellent and the visuals were stunning but in the end the game didn't have an everlasting effect on me lol, some games just leave you wanting more unfortunately Infamous wasn't one of them. I did enjoy my time with it though, difficulty wise it was good, I played on Expert and although I beat the game in a week with very limited time to play it each day I don't blame the game but instead my ability to always find a way to outsmart the AI lol. While i'm sure they will come as they always do, Infamous however is not the PS4's first homerun hitter, it's a worthy exclusive and a must own for a PS4 owner but it's not a console pusher IMO.

[shadyiswin]

i think all this infamous sales talk is awesome,cause we all see that it did not outsell titanfall in its first week despite its "7 million" install base vs xb1's "4 million"

It only sold 300,000 in the states,it would have to sell 500,000 in the UK...not happening,will sell 500,000 gobal in week one,less than titanfall in the states alone.

[Hicken]

Might help if you understood that the numbers for inFamous are just two days, as opposed to five days for Titanfall.

By the way, it's 370,000, which is far closer to 400K than 300K. It's a shame your trolling attempts are so poor.

[Bathyj]

Just curious since you mentioned Titanfall, does anyone know if MS will include the ones they gave away as "sales"?

I mean, it sounds like an easy way to pad them numbers.

Yes I'm aware the same thing applies to Knack in Japan.

[jessupj]

We actually don't have officials numbers from anyone, so all this is just speculation until then.

[Geekman]

Waiting for official numbers, but I won't be surprised.

[LambOfLucifer79]

Oh no! Xbox One is doomed! Microsoft is filing for bankruptcy! Blah blah blah. This was all extreme sarcasm, by the way. Yes the PS4 is selling quite a bit more than the Xbox One. We all know that. With that being said, Microsoft and the Xbox One are still selling better than the launch of Xbox 360. Can't we all just agree that both systems are selling? Both consoles selling well is what helps us as gamers in the long run. I just want great games for everyone. I thoroughly enjoy both consoles.

[BlakHavoc]

Dude your beating a dead horse lol, the truth is that over the last 8 years or so we've seen the gaming industry become a source of pure fanboyism. Flame articles pop up on all site left and right just to get reads, idk why everyone is so caught up on defending their console of choice and bashing it's fiercest competitor, but IMO it's ruining something as simple as going online to talk games with fellow gamers. You can't get an honest opinion out of ANYONE these days.

[LambOfLucifer79]

Very true. I'm new to this site. The blind loyalty to a particular console baffles me

[Adolph Fitler]

Glad, glad, glad...Now Sony, lets roll out the games, & secure some more 3rd party exclusives to keep buyers buying.... Sony could possibly sell 20+miilion PS4's by the end of December this year....that would be incredible, considering it will still be at the higher price point.... What Sony needs to do, is bring back some of the PS1 & PS2 IP's that helped sell units.. A BIG return of some Japanese RPG's for a start, then some really high quality (Jak & Daxter-esque & Ratchet like) 3D platformers.....People still LOVE this genre, but the fact is, nobody has done anything new with the genre to shake it up & make it fresh, (even Nintendo screwed up & failed to do anything new with Mario on Wii-U, in fact, they reverted back to Crash Bandicoot level design, coupled with 30yr out of date time constraints that force you to rush levels).... Why haven't we been getting 3D open world platformers with the size, scope & amounts to do (if not more) of a GTA title, but with the cutesy, family friendly platformer genre in mind....crazy really. We need more of the masses of diverse genres that PS1 & PS2 enjoyed... Games like Twisted Metal, Jet Moto, Kinetica, Rage Racer, Battle Arena, Rival Schools, The Ghost In The Shell, War Of Monsters, Bushido Blade, Syphon Filter, Burning Road, Timesplitters, Red Faction, Medal Of Honor 1 & 2, Medievil, Silent Bomber, Raystorm, Einhander, Destruction Derby, The Getaway (why did you can one of your biggest European sellers?), & this list just goes on & on....

And put some money into marketing these games, especially your inhouse stuff that you quite simply failed to market with PS3.... Why the hell didn't you put massive hype & $$$ into marketing the awesome Resistance series (especially Pt.3), Motorstorm series, Warhawk & Starhawk, MAG, Socom;SF's, & the list goes on, of all the games that Sony just failed dismally in the marketing department. I was quite disappointed with Sony's seemingly lazy marketing with PS3 & it's games. I hope they keep the hype train going with PS4, as I love mine, & they hammer out some awesome titles, & get PS2 rivaling install base for PS4....Then they can start building back up, there awesome 1st party lineup, to the level it was at with PS2.

[BlakHavoc]

I'm sorry, but I can understand why they didn't put massive amounts of marketing into resistance, the series was pure trash. Just my opinion of coarse but it's popularity is average at best and I wouldn't expect any sequels or prequels this gen. But agree that they have a ton of classic franchises in the PS library, games like Syphon Filter, Legend of Dragoon, The Getaway, and Heavenly Sword all need comebacks this gen.

[pwnsause_returns]

If this is true, there's going to be a huge tide of developers prioritizing their games on the ps4. 7 million in 4 months is crazy. And their end of the fiscal year is on march 31st. The ps4 is a huge success.

[player002]

good ps4 call have all the indies who cares

[mkis007]

Insomniac is indie O.o

Many people seem to misunderstand that indie doesn't have to mean a group of 10 or less dev's working on block graphics... What is minecraft...

You get a couple major releases a year. Indies will be nice to have between the heavy hitters... oh sorry I forgot about no baseball on Xbox One this year...

[BlakHavoc]

Good for Sony, Infamous was good game as well. The powers were fun to use, I think the story was a little dull or just uninteresting but it kept me entertained nonetheless. To sum up SS for me i'd say it was action packed and just fun to play but didn't really set any standards in storytelling. Overall i'd give it an 8/10.

[kevnb]

Microsoft is probably banking on halo or something similar, I don't think it's going to work this time. Last time Sony got a little too sure of themselves and screwed up in the early going... This time they are off to a lead that will only strengthen their position.
