So this confirm shipped numbers.

It's sold through, stop being salty, the numbers aren't even that out of this world impressive, even chertz numbers will put all these games over a million at the end of the year.

Oh and this is how you not make a sensible comparison btw.: gamrConnect Forums - View Post

However good tactical move on the downplay, make sure to hit up all the other Xbox One threads, some new ones you have not hit yet. Try to be creative, we are counting on you.   There's no need to downplay the news, 1 million is a small sales number.

 In under 2 months on one system? So you also want to join the bandwagon? We have a blade sharpener for your axe if you need it...

 It seems to be doing just fine or what's your magic number?  The last Tomb Raider did 6.23 million on 5 systems, so that is an average of 1.246,000. The highest system being 2.45 Million and that was seen as a massive success, this should easily reach 2 Million units on XBox One alone. Now please tell me why it's such a failure on Xbox One when it's producing just as good of numbers as the last TR that was seen as a success?

Huge.

[DerNebel]

Also 35 million games sold at retail and digitally in the same time period, chertz is definitely overtracking there, with over 25 million games in just the first 3 weeks plus US week 4. Or Sony isn't counting bundled games when they are basically given away like the UC Collection or Battlefront, but I highly doubt that's the case.

Very good sales! It didn't exceed my expectations but it was right at the higher end. So 17.4m sold in 2015, mighty impressive and up 3.1m YOY.

Up 1.6m YOY in the holiday season too

[Rorono]

600k off
Not that bad xD

I'm lowering my NPD prediction to 1.47M though. Sounds like December wasn't mind blowing, just good.

You talking about the chartz? They have one week still to add, which would normally have been about 500k. So very good estimates for the 6 weeks I think.

Well considering that BF week will have been around 1 and a half million, December will have been probably just over 4million compared to (I'd guess) around 3 million last year. That's roughly 33% up YOY and if that translates to NPD PS4 will be about 1.42M. We shall have to see how close that is but beating November seems more unlikely now.

Not chertz, me. My prediction was 36.5M. Though in my favor I round these bigger numbers so I was more going for 36.25-36.5 than that number per se

Pretty good! My guess at the start of the year was 36m and a few months ago I said 35.5-36m so I'm pleased with myself

[Dr. Pezus]

So chertZ was actually pretty spot on almost. I still expect them to be undrrtracking Europe and overtracking US a bit then

[Legend]

It's crazy following this entire generation in sales. ~36 mil was about where PS3 was when I first discovered the chertz.

[DerNebel]

I actually predicted 35.9 million at the end of 2015 after the 2013 PS4 reveal, I just didn't tell anybody, looks like I'm the master predictor here.

[ZhugeEX]

PS4 holiday sell through in 2015 = 5.7m

PS3 holiday sell through in 2009 = 3.8m
PS3 holiday sell through in 2008 = 2.2m

PS2 holiday sell through in 2001 = 5.3m

PS4 Annual Sales
2013: 4.2m
2014: 14.3m
2015: 17.4m
