I actually read the hole lot mate because if like you and me investing in this console it makes sense to do so with what's been going around the internet concerning the problems.

Sony announced today that one million PlayStation 4s have already been sold in North America. The news was confirmed via Twitter by Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, who wrote �PS4 has sold through over 1 million units within 24 hours of the launch in North America!�

That is impressive

Yep indeed it is,but America is a huge place....be interesting to see the European first 24 hr sales...


Question ?

Is it just me and Nellie buying a Playstation 4 on these gaming forums or what ?

True true. Playstation is more dominant in Europe though so be interesting to see if it exceeds that number within 24 hours.

Yeah I think it is just you 2 getting PS4 at launch.

Shame we could have had a Mob instead of a Duo in Killzone Shadowfall of these forums...I'm hoping me and Nellie can tempt a few others to go out and get one ....

If that's the case you are going to have to check out our thoughts and opinions in a few weeks...and I speak my mind...if I don't like a game or the operation of the console or any other minor issue then rest assured your going to get the true opinion of what I think regardless of what I have posted about my excitement in the next generation ....

I see quite a few Americans downloaded the firmware update to USB stick from various mirror sites instead of going straight for a console install....I wonder why ?

More than likely the connection woes and strain on the Sony servers......this I never understand ? And it happens time and time again be it a new console,game ,phone ,gadget ,whatever....You know you got at a popular gadget then make the necessary arrangements and make the proper provisions on the server side.....Jezz

Isn't it strange way of organizing things,Europe is the strongest region for Playstation so they release the console in territory's that are not as strong first....sort of makes sense unless you live in Europe which by all accounts has supported Sony more than most..

So what you read in to that is this...if the Playstation was not the dominant force it is in the UK and Europe but it was in America ....we would have had it First .....

Saying that ,don't those Yanky Doodle Dandys get most of the stuff first....

You are right and poor old Japan have to wait until February, that's what they get for being the safest territory...no danger of XBOX being dominant there.

Yeah that would be fun, hopefully some day we can all play a game online together.

I think certification issues are a real problem. The USA is one territory in that respect. The European total may be more in the whole, but unless you release seperately in all of the different countries, I expect there to be a shed load of bureaucracy to trawl through for a Europe wide release.

One of the major purposes of the EU is harmonisation of standards, so there's much less testing required for sale across Europe than you might think.
