PlayStation 4 sales exceed 2.1 million units

[-Kev-]

Tokyo (AFP) - Sony said on Tuesday it has sold more than 2.1 million PlayStation 4 consoles after less than three weeks on the market, as it battles Microsoft and Nintendo for supremacy in the lucrative gaming sector.

The eagerly-awaited PlayStation sold more than one million units in just one day after its November 15 debut in North America and Sony said Tuesday it was on track to hit a worldwide target of 5.0 million units by March.

The PS4 has yet to release in Japan, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Indonesia, and other countries which will have their PS4 later in December. Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil just got the PS4 6 days ago.

Microsoft are finished.

All of these numbers being touted by fans don't mean ****.

Are they impressive? Yeah, but all those numbers really mean is that Sony and Microsoft have been more prepared for consumer demand this time out than at any previous console launch.

Sales numbers are meaningless for determining how successful a console will be until after supply starts to surpass demand.

The only numbers that are going to matter are going to be when you can readily walk into any store and purchase either console. At that point, you'll start getting objective numbers.

Wasn't the Dreamcast the biggest selling console at the time of its release?

BTW Xbox One isn't sold out if you go on N4G you'll see loads of reports of stores all over the world still having the day one console in stock.

There are lots of games to play. Just cause YOU don't like what's out, doesn't mean there are no games.
