After that Sony launched the PS3 Slim and thee turn around started in an amazing way... from 2009 to now Sony just grew in a fantastic way.

You know Destiny is the biggest contributor for that... the retail sales from the year 1 fans turned digital upgrade to TTK... and you can be sure Destiny userbase is really that big.

The funny thing is lots of people were saing things like that in 2012 and 2013 before the PS4 was announced. How times change.

Eat that guys.

Once again, its extremely likely PS4 outshipped xbox and nintendo combined. Also, according to VGChartz there's 2.8 million on the shelf... I think some wee adjustments need to be made

Gaming and network services is firmly their biggest revenue maker, even above phones.

Significantly, after revising their PS4 forecast up by 500k last quarter, they just increased their forecast again but by 1 million. They now expect to ship 17.5m PS4s this FY taking it to a total of 39.8 million by the end of March 2016. Insane.

I think it's even more interesting by how much they revised their OI forecast for the gaming division, from $496mil op to §661mil, that's an revision of freaking 33%!

Xbox One is more like 16m, WiiU is 10.73m and there is no battle for second place. 4/10 more effort needed.

A lot of these are for the price cut, but still super impressive!

Hehe.
PS4 is Usain Bolt.  
XB1 is an average person.

Wii U is just kinda laying there.  Jeez, is that guy going to be okay?

I wouldn't be surprised Sony goes 2 million over forecast shipments.

I feel that the only thing that will hold the PS4 back is if Sony underships.
