Title: PS4 Sells Huge on Destiny Week, Destiny is PS4's biggest SW Launch (USA)

Highlight:

The game broke records for being the fastest purchased and most played PS4 game during its first week on sale. In fact, last week was our single biggest PS4 hardware sales week since Christmas 2013! That's a lot of PS4s.

PS4>100k in USA

Destiny week is the biggest number in this list after 302.

Looking back, USA usually makes up just less than 1/3 of PS4 sales on a major launch week, even if it was only 150k that means WW it could be close to 500k, perhaps even above with the added Japan effect this time

Why people are saying 100k? PS4 last year since release sold shitstorm numbers... always over 200k.

Using NPD (the only data we have):

860k > PS4 > 187k = September NPD

Amazing balls.

They seem to be talking about Christmas as in the holliday period, not as in specifically Dec. 25. Otherwise they'd just say it was the best week in 2014 imo.

Yeap... it is better than at least one week in 2013 but lower than at least one week in Christmas period.

talking about Christmas week makes no sense either since stores are closed for two of those days and sales slow ridiculously after the 25th. So that would mean the majority of those sales of the week came in two days.

are you kidding me?    ps4 sold ~450k for the month of aug WW.  August,.. the slowest month of the year.   August,..  the month that didn't have destiny launch.  August,..  the month that doesn't kick off the start of the holiday rise.    it would be extraordinarily disappointing if ps4 only sold 600k WW.  even without destiny ps4 should have hit 600k WW this month purely on the early holiday rise.

also i just want to point out the thing you guys aren't explicitly realizing about this announcement...


...sony has to have a way to track weekly sales that isn't NPD.   sony announced the launch day sales and everyone assumed that sony just used the shippment numbers.  sony announced over 7M and everyone assumed it was just adding together the various trackers.  sony announced 10M and everyone went wft?!?   but knowing they had their biggest week of the year (even if they aren't giving out the exact value) days after the destiny launch,..  the evidence is too much now.  they have to have a tracking system in place.

Yes SCEI tracks both hardware and software.

Post by: kitler53 on Sep 18, 2014, 04:05 PM

So 800k for the month?


at least...  in aug ps4 was doing 130k minimum (really closer to 150k other than the last week).   130k * 5 weeks = 650k.     (or 150k * 5 weeks = 750k)


so 650k + holiday boost + destiny boost.

if we assume a modest holiday boost of 10% then

130k*1.1  * 5 weeks = 715k    (or 150k*1.1 * 5 weeks = 825k)

i think destiny alone adds a minimum 150k to those numbers.

so 850k is imo the absolute worst case scenario.   1M on the month is not unreachable.

I'm going to guess a 12 million announcement is on the way. They were already over 10 million in early August. Between August sales and how big September will be, if they aren't sitting on 12 million by the end of the month they're probably close enough.

PS4 up 300% in the UK. if that happens in USA then it sold around ~200k for the week, which is massive.
