PS4 has moved about 2.1 million units so far since it launched in North America on November 15th. Sony is aiming for 5 million PS4s sold globally by the end of their fiscal year. If things continue to be good, that goal will likely be met.

 

I'm very happy to hear this. This is what happens when you deliver a clear and concise message to the consumer.

I know. PS4 is like what the PS2 was in terms of sheer power in the market right now. Literally everyone and their moms are rushing out to get a hold of one. I have also heard some sad stories about people getting stabbed and even murdered for their PS4's 

Check http://www.gamespot.com/articles/man-shot-dead-trying-to-sell-ps4/1100-6416497/

 

A very tragic story about a 22 year old man who was trying to sell his PS4 but ended up getting shot and he later died in the hospital.

 

I like the hype surrounding the console but when you kill people JUST so you can play a damn system you know your f*cked up in the head.

 

On another note, I am extremely glad the PS4 is doing well. It kicked Wiiu's ass in about 48 hours both in the U.S and the UK with more than a million sold. Wiiu has been out almost an entire year and it hasn't even grabbed those kind of numbers. lol

PS4 is not even a full month old yet and it already has half the Wii U's install base. Like I said, this is what happens when you are clear and concise, which neither Microsoft nor Nintendo were. I feel bad for Wii U and the crap it and Nintendo get, but they did it to themselves.

Yeah true. Nintendo even had a year head start and they did nothing with it. Now their competition is here and it's totally wreaking them. Why should we play on Wiiu? Cmon Nintendo give us reasons. You totally don't have third party companies with you and your own first party games are not even out yet. (I'm talking about big titles like Mario Kart 8, SSB4 and etc.) I know the Wiiu has some great games like Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World and such but seriously people need some more interesting and creative IPs every once and while. It keeps the game pool unique and interesting.

Actually while XBO hasn't sold exactly as many units as PS4, it's not far behind. It sold a million units day one as well and it was the highest selling home console in the US during the black friday weekend.

I'm very happy about this but at the same time I feel bad for the Wii U. It's being crushed. But...Nintendo did it to themselves. :/

Eh... I'm still much more inclined to purchase a Wii U at this point than I am the other consoles.

 

The PS4 will be good in time, but I don't think any of the three consoles can boast a strong line-up at this point. That's pretty bad for the Wii U considering it's been out for a year, but it is what it is.

Well that's good that you want to buy a Wiiu. It just has very little to offer to the mainstream consumer right now based on it's current standing. Third party companies were all for it in the beginning but that enthusiasm has quickly died off in the little time that the Wiiu has been on the market. They don't have a lot of "must-have" titles as of yet and PS4/Xbox One have more offerings right out the gate and loads of more sales to show that people don't care that much for Wiiu as sad as that may seem. Go ahead and get a Wiiu if you would like (I've had one since lauch btw) but there are definitely some problems with how Nintendo is handling their business right now and they need to definitely step up their game.

Good for Sony. I'm happy their new console is doing good. Anyways, I'll probably try to pick a PS4 early next year, since I have the money and they do look rather awesome. 

 

I don't feel too bad about the whole Wii-U thing. At least Nintendo has the 3DS, which I hear has been doing actually pretty good this year due to all of the new games coming out for it, like Pokemon.
