Wow, don't mess with the PS4. And I can be counted among those as well, since I just bought mine 2 weeks ago.
That is higher than I was expecting at this point and shows that consoles are still relevant and not declining, that or the global gaming market is getting bigger and more affordable all around the world. Would be interesting to see what Xbox One sales are like.
Most likely because of their intiial screw up back at the unveiling when they gave all the info about the DRM and then took it out because of it not going well the public. the thing the public hate more than a company who is pure money hungry is a company that's money hungry to the point it's second guessing itself.
