23 by E3 soon after! ;)
As long as the Order 1886 delivers on at least part of it's potential, I can't see it falling short of twenty million.
Not to sure if the PS4 is still ahead of the PS2, but even if it isn't; an impressive feat nonetheless; especially considering Sony's 2015 heavy hitters have not arrived yet. When that happens, I will be curious to see how well the PS4 can soar. If it does get the pricecut at either E3 or Gamescom, set sail for a potential 17+ million sales year
no it's not enough to pass PS2
real mature guys to downvote me for stating a fact.
Good job Sony with your PS4! Now the PS4 is about to have a really solid year of growth with all of the great AAA games coming out throughout the year...
This will be a big year for the ps4. Exclusive heavyweights are coming with a potential price cut. If Morpheus catches on next year, they may see even more success!
lol @Gaf Users infiltrating this site again
After looking at the numbers it looks overtracked for those 4 weeks.
179,958
142,149
130,002
149,420.
According to Sony they sold 500k during that period. Vgchartz has it at 600k.
The sad part is you're right, the site has some major serious Sony fanboy issues, any good Xbox news gets downvoted or downplayed into obvlision, same with nintendo and then we've got the recent The ORder threads where they love playing as if Sony is the ultimate victim in all this.
Just watch I'll get downvoted too because they love tracking these sections like hawks stapled to corporate praise.
This site is always permeated with fanboys from whichever console is in the sales lead. Last generation Wii fans flooded this place. They had so much to say leading up to the current gen releases. Now WiiU fans are the quietest of the bunch. Fanboys run rampant for all three consoles though. It's just that Sony fans have the most to gloat about at the moment.
it's gotten so bad that my comment won't even show until you click show. All i did was post the vgchartz numbers for comparison, which i think anyone would want to know. Literally blind fanboyism when you actually want to hide the evidence that you don't like. You guys are absolutely right though, it's for all 3 consoles. Doesn't make it any better.
