This console war will be interesting to see when Sony can finally keep up with demand and stock PS4's. I want to see another dominance over the market like with the PS2.
Another record broke.
PS4 will dominate this Gen (like PS2 did)...

Ps4 is also going to boom in Hk, Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore on 12/18!! Japan will be the last country to debut!
Japan is the last "major" region to get the PS4. I don't think it's the last country overall. Certainly there are countries in Latin America or Africa that aren't getting the PS4 'til much much later.
Beast!!!!!!
Go go ps4!!!!!!!!! It'll outsell the Wii U by march!!!!! Heard it here first!!!
If Sony can only keep up with the demand, 4 million is easily achievable. Congrats to Sony.
So, I guess it can hit 4 million this year, if Sony have that many to sell.
UK makes up around 28% of European home consoles market so numbers sound realistic.
Add your comment...PS4-4 the win.
Only 700,000 units have been sold through across Europe and Australia? And more in Usa? The world is backwards. But the numbers still from Sony, not for Npd or other. Vgcharts It hard to put the actual numbers this time. So what companies are hiding figures
I'm guessing is the lack of stock.
Nice
Japan = 300k?
that title....
So much for Europe being its biggest territory.
What are you talking about? There's more people in the U.S.A than there is in Europe: those figures are pretty high.
Did someone really just say there is more people in the United States than Europe? Come on dude a quick Google search will tell you there is more than 700 million Europeans to 300 Million Americans.
sony shipped the majority of the ps4 to the US because that's where they need market share.
