PlayStation 4 hits 7 million sales
Another month, another million. Just one month after Sony announced 6 million sales for its PS4 console, the company is ready to hoot its horn yet again.
Another month, another million. Just one month after Sony announced 6 million sales for its PS4 console, the company is ready to hoot its horn yet again.
The company has announced global sales of more than 7 million units as of April 6. According to SCE president Andrew House, that figure makes PS4 the "next generation console of choice." The console is currently available in 72 countries and regions, and House claims the company is "still facing difficulties keeping up with the strong demand worldwide."
In addition, the console has a software attach rate of nearly 3, with 20.5 million software sales across retail and digital. Sony claims that approximately 120 games are coming to PS4 by the end of the year, including oft-delayed racer Driveclub and The Order: 1886.

IIRC, this is true (as far as Sony and MS' numbers since launch). I'm sure XBO is selling well, but it seems clear it isn't selling as well as PS4.
Did we get March numbers yet?

Sad thing is, this generation of consoles are as powerful as a mid-ranged gaming pc.
So...
Without a bunch of exclusives, why bother?
If the best a console can do is 1080p, and my pc does that easy, why upgrade?
I've got a library of over 300 Steam games I can take with me pc to pc where I get a Xbone or PS4 and I lose everything I used to play and most of my options are games I already own on the 360 or PS3 with slightly better graphics?
Can someone please explain the logic of it all to me?-
if you only play games for graphics, sure, like you said. but exclusives will come to both down the line.
also if you don't have a gaming PC (believe it or not, most of the gaming world doesn't). -

I have a desk job. I don't want to sit at a desk when I come home. Not everything in Steam works with a controller or plays well with a PC's smaller text when on a TV. Most people who play games, play them on a console, so if I want to play Titanfall or Battlefield with my brothers, it's going to be on a console. There ARE exclusives, so ignoring that is missing the point. No one is saying you can't play your PC games in your Cheeto cave, knock yourself out. I have all the consoles and a gaming PC and the handhelds. I can play any game that comes out. I will never understand why PC people are so defensive. You are shutting out easily half of gaming, if not more, for some line in the stand an infinitesimal minority thinks matters. If you were truly a fan of the artform then you would want to play the best version of each game for you, and there are tons of times that the PC is not that experience.

No need to explain it. You aren't the target market. I like playing console games on my couch and yes, I can use a controller to play PC games, but for console gaming is just easier to do from the couch. Also, a purpose built machine and OS is going to be better than the same PC with a generalized OS.
