Launch and first December, maybe?
Exceeded 140k, for all we know they could have sold 10 million. But yeh, likely will be under 200k but over 140k for sure.
Wow at those PS2 numbers.

FH2 sold around 200-300k in its first month IIRC. Combined 360/X1
Yeah I know the 3DS has an excuse but, especially when looking from a revenue standpoint, the 3DS dropping should have little impact on the overall market.
You don't think it's down in units? That's pretty optimistic.
Motorsport is a good seller. Horizon not so much.
Pretty sure SO was a poor seller in its launch month.
That's rather depressing...

Sony has everything to dominate 2015, they just need to a little more aggressive in the US during the holidays and they are set.
2015 lineup of games heavenly favors the PS4. If they sneak GT7 in 2015 and maybe one other big title later in year the gap will widen even more. That is not to mention what a price cut would do.

Sony not commenting on PS4 performance vs last year make me think PS4 is down over last year.

It's good to see Nintendo holding steady, not in the PS4 league but steady growth which should at least help them continue to be profitable. Hopefully the New 3DS spikes sales of that system as it really is a great handheld and it has a huge range of great games.

dont quote me on that yet, im trying to find the exact number
The PS2 was a beast. It outsold both the PS3 and 360 in February 2008, but I think that's the last time it outsold either.
Well, january 2014 had sales for people that couldn't buy in 2013.
Yeah, stunning how PS4 wins the month in hardware but loses in software. Those Xbox One owners sure do love their games. Razor and razorblade analogy appropriate here.

Probably. I think it was around 270-280K last year. Definitely wouldn't expect them to hit that number when they were still at $400.
Why is that surprising? It's attach rate has been higher since launch. Just figures that with more consoles sold the software numbers would skyrocket as well.
~270k last year.
Could be down, bearing in mind that PS4 demand was huge in the USA during the first few months and stock was running low.
read carefully
"more game sales per console than any other platform"
Meaning, xbone could sell 10 consoles and 20 games (2:1 attach rate) ; ps4 could sell 30 consoles and 30 games (1:1 attach ratio). PR speak.
Would say it depends on what someone's interested in. The lineups for both consoles are better than 2014 (especially for the PS4).
I don't think GT7 will do much -- seems like racers outside of Mario Kart are becoming less popular here. Plus I think we would already see some info about GT7 if it was going to come out this year. Thinking it will be a 2016 game.

That would make sense despite so many people laughing at Iwata for saying the platform is still in the growth stage.

indeed. No idea what may be causing it.
usually a price drop just gives a period of high console sales. people actually buying more software after than the market leader is very surprising.

I'm Shocked Dying Light dethroned COD in January. COD has owned January NPDs over the last few years and Dying Light is the game to knock it off its perch. I liked Dying Light and it's good to have new IPs selling well.
Kinda shocked ps4 won the month, but it goes to show when the price is the same the market views the XBOX ONE as an inferior product.

So... what did I say that was incorrect? Xbox One clearly has the attach advantage.

My opinion (based on nothing) PS4 sales were down from last year and 3DS sales are also down
Techland really learned from Dead Island for Dying Light.....it really is a solid game and overall WAY better. Also didn't have insane performance issues that I was expecting. Can't wait to see them do maybe a sci-fi future parkour game....would be cool getting to spaceships and stuff.
Last Gen "slowly dying" is an understatement. It fell off a cliff and despite some people not wanting cross gen that's not good for the industry. The same time into last gen the PS2 was selling over 200,000.
The PS4 did modest numbers last Jan. Yes it was because it wasn't supplied well, but one would expect it to increase from a supply limited situation into it's 2nd full year. Xbox One was a complete disaster, as was Wii U in Jan last year and the fact that the industry shrunk is extremely worrying IMO.
Last Jan had people questioning if consoles could survive in the same way they had been because the numbers were so awful, if the numbers here are actually worse then...
