Yes, 4.3 million already by the end of 2013. The PS4 is probably already over six million already right now in the first week of February. That is six more weeks of sales beyond the 4.2 million already sold.
It is most likely the only thing limiting PS4 sales right now is Sony's ability to manufacture them.
Also, these numbers that are reported by Sony are actual 'sales to customers' not 'shipped to retail warehouse' like Microsoft reports...
A bit of a reach to call the PS1 even early in its life an 'ugly duckling'.
Sony's first console sold some 105 million worldwide and became the best selling console in history.
I don't think anyone should really be surprised that there are people like MatrixxGT that are this utterly delusional. There are still Dreamcast fans who honestly swear their system was just as powerful as the PS2 and they 'have specs to prove it'.
It's one thing to really have no grasp of console graphics hardware. But seven years after a console launches and utterly crushes its competition in graphics like the PS3 did to the 360 you really have to just shake...
Seriously deluded.
The PS3 absolutely crushed the Xbox 360 in:
* Amount of geometry per scene
* Storage space for world data 25/50GB vs 6.7GB
* Physics processing power
* Pixel pushing power/resolution
* Animation
* Materials and lighting
Even launch games on the PS3 had massive 30 vs 30 player in gigantic environments with level geometry sizes that were not possible on the 360. Instead the 360 was only...
Sony's dominance of the console market is staggering.
A Playstation console has been the top selling console in the world going all the way back to 1994 - with the sole exception is the three years or so that the Wii craze was in full force.
With Nintendo stumbling with the Wii U and Microsoft crashing and burning it looks like Sony will have a lock on this gen and stretch their worldwide dominance for another seven years.
Microsoft won&#...
Dragon's Crown is incredible looking on the Vita - in addition to being an incredibly good game.
Killzone Mercenary also look amazing on the Vita. Have to keep reminding myself that I'm playing on a handheld.
Absolutely love my Vita:
The screen in amazing.
The dual sticks feel just right.
The interface has very refined and elegant feel to it.
The variety of new Vita games, smaller PSN titles, plus PS1 titles(es...
Can't really be surprising to anyone.
The Xbox 360 came in last place in worldwide sales despite:
* Being 200 dollars cheaper than the PS3
* Was rushed out the door a year early(a year and a half in Europe) to try to pad out the installed base numbers
* Tens of millions of duplicate Xbox 360s sold due to the RRoD fiasco
* A massive smear campaign against Sony in the US gaming media
All that and Microsoft still ende...
Awesome comment.
Reminds me of how years ago every Xbox fanboy desperately tried to repeat the lie that Sony claimed the PS2 would be capable of "Toy Story" graphics.
Who really made the idiotic "Toy Story" graphics claim?
Microsft...of course:

"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is...
"It's welcome for the last position on charts"
Just like with the Xbox 360 that came in last place in worldwide sales.
The big difference this gen is Microsoft won't have the benefit of the RRoD fiasco to inflate their installed base numbers in the US(and the UK) by tens of millions of units like they did with the Xbox 360.
"just because the ps4 launch was quit a mess"
LOL
* The PS4 is the hottest item in all of gaming.
* Sony has already sold a million consoles in the first weekend.
* An amazing and diverse line up of launch games
* Massive first party exclusives continue to be announced
Sony has pulled off the best launch of any console in the history of gaming.
"My Japanese Launch PS4 console have no problem!"
And that right there is the fatal flaw in Microsoft and its rapidly dwindling number of Xbox fans attempts to fabricate a Microsoft type Xbox 360 RRoD fiasco...
Yes. Not a chance the Xbox One sells anywhere close to the PS4.
As you wrote, 100 dollars more expensive.
And:
* The PS4 has a huge graphics/system power advantage
* The PS4 is already massively ramping up production, with a target of a million a month around launch, to be ready for US and European sales around the end of September 2013. And Japan will follow shortly after that.
* The Xbox One doesn't eve...
"hampered their success for years."
The PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 every single year it has been on the market.
The PS3 is at 80 million worldwide in installed base and the system has another five years of sales. It will easily reach the 110-120 million range as the price drops down to 200, 150, etc. The PS2 went on to sell some 80 million or so console after it hit the 200 dollar mark.
So, yeah, there was this 'giant enemy cr...
"it is also 50% weaker than Ps4"
That's just the graphics hardware.
* The PS4 also has the insanely fast system RAM while the Xbox One only has slower standard RAM.
* The PS4 has 2 gigs more system RAM for games to work with
* The PS4 doesn't have the Kinect crap running constantly dragging down overall system performance and resources
The PS4 is way more powerful than 50 percent compared to...
The price.
And...
* The massive graphical power advantage the PS4 has over the weak Xbox One
+ The huge power advantage the PS4's very fast system RAM has over the outdated Xbox One's RAM
+ The 50 percent more powerful graphics hardware
+ The 2 gigs more RAM the PS4 has for games to utilize
+ The lack of any sort of Kinect crap running constantly
* The massive exclusive advantage the PS4 has ov...
Can't find a copy in stores, sold out everywhere.
Congrats Naughty Dog. Amazing developer.
"sony tried to innovate last gen with the cell processor, but it turned out to be a mistake."
Boggle.
Just how delusional can someone be?
Sony's Cell/RSX based PS3 CRUSHED the Xbox 360 in graphics this gen. The PS3 destroyed the Xbox 360 in graphics so badly this gen the Xbox 360 is the only console in the history of gaming to not have a single game that can compete with its competition.
Uncharted
Gran T...
Yes, the Xbox 360's graphics were so weak compared to the PS3's that its fans were reduced to trying to brag about mostly imagined minuscule differences in graphically mediocre multiplatform titles.
Microsoft knew just how badly the PS3 outclassed the wimpy Xbox 360 in graphics that they humiliating and sleazy low of forcing third party developers through contracts to agree to gimp their PS3 versions down to Xbox 360 level graphics.
And, Halo, best gr...
Thank you Narutone66.
That sounds reasonable.
