with 18+ m sold through worldwide, but it doesn't stop there

PS4 was the UK’s best-selling console in 2014 and also the best-selling machine on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November.

It was also the best-selling console in the final week of the year and the best-selling across November and December combined, although it has previously been claimed that Xbox One was the best-selling machine in November alone.

Earlier today Sony said that PS4 has now sold 18.5m PS4s worldwide.

The most recent Xbox One count had the console pegged at 10m shipped, not sold, as of November.

MS second strongest market is now officially sonyland, rest of europe already is.

soon the whole world is sonyland

THE KING IS BACK!

SW can't stop the train, giving away XposBone's for free wont stop the train nothing will!

Deserved.

Wait including Black Friday & Cyber Monday? That literally means the only place the xbone sold well was NA and nowhere else lol.

edit: yeah I thought that was weird, seems this sums it up:

Ps4 sold best on black Friday and the last week of December.
Xbone sold best the rest of the time.
The sales from ps4 were so great during its sales that it sold more than Xbone in Nov/dec combined.

This generation was over before these consoles ever launched. The XBox brand is toast. Even with massive fire sales, the thing only has trction in the US and that market alone will not keep the brand ubiquitous. Not when it can only get a month or two out in front of the competition.

Um, yeah? I read that. Xbone sold more throughout November, PS4 sold more on BF and CM in the UK, and topped Bone sales when Nov and Dec are combined.

Didn't you read this thread.? the PS4 outsold the xbox one when you combine december and november sales in UK to and outsold it in black friday in uk and cyber monday to.

It was also the best-selling console in the final week of the year and the best-selling across November and December combine

January sales are not out even for the first week so yeah last we know in UK the xbox one is been outsold.

It probably won December NPD in US alone and because of the price cut and freebies.

January NPD should be interesting since the uni is going back to $400 already in most store.

And in both the PS4 still is in the lead,so to little to late for MS.

Your link is for November we are on january 6,his link is for the whole year and December where apparently the PS4 beat the xbox one and by a truckload considering that if you joined both months November and December the PS4 still came on top.

OK, I made a mistake. I must have been looking at a different tab. (apologies to @misterpmedia as well)

In the end who cares if PS4 is being outsold for a month or two in UK and US.

Worldwide cumulitive sales are the only that matter....and we all know PS4 will win.

Yay for UK sales!?:P

Honestly, not my cup of Earl Grey (sales business), but if this means more good games getting produced in the long run, I'm happy.

Geez, you spotted that quick.

I understand that he's wrong, even though the thread's title is very clear, but why did he charge in so passionate against multiple users like that?

I don't care about playing sales wars if it means I have to get so emotional.

I love how Sony has released this tid-bit and the whole 18 million sold to deflect The Xbox WON taking N.A. again. Man they really are insecure about a couple of months.

@FoxbatAlpha: 1. Why is it crazy or vindictive to release how many sold after a marker like the end of the year.

2. Maybe MS is being a little idioticly over zealous and trying to manipulate by screaming they WON.

As toucan see....two sides to every coin blah blah

Or maybe they are in fact just putting MS back in their place.

This guy has a interesting point.

Sony said that they sold 13.5 million (worldwide) consoles in November.

The sold 5 million in two months? Bullshit.

The smoking gun is the 10.5 million PSN subscribers. The accounts for PS3, PS4 and Vita. Every new console has a free month included so this should at least be close to 18.5 million since it is free. They fucked up and didn't cover their ass in the math.

So, still second place in NA then? Next NPD thread's already set up, Justin. "500,000 more Xbones sold? That's cute. There are 8.5 million more PS4s out there."

Feeling scared?

...In the end every region matters. And you markets like that have a much bigger potential to grow, so actually they are very important.

Arrogance like that can cost you a lot of sales in this industry.

The 13.5 million figure comes from their 20 year PS overview thing, but they actually reached 13.5mil in September. So it would be 5 million consoles in 3 months. Which is plausible if you know they sold 3.3 million consoles from July to September (3 months), so including holiday season, it is realistic.
