In its first two weeks, PlayStation 4 sold 2.1 million units in North America, as well as in various European countries. Meanwhile, Xbox One sold 2 million units in its first two weeks on the market in North America, Europe, Brazil, and Australia. Back in November of 2006, Wii sold 1.6 million units in its first two weeks in North America and Japan, while way back in March of 2000, PlayStation 2’s Japanese launch pushed 1.4 million consoles in two weeks.PS4 managed to edge out Xbox One by about a hundred thousand units, relegating Xbox One to the second biggest console launch in industry history. “Both the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One had very successful console launches in November, 2013,” the report states. “With 2.1 million units sold in its initial two weeks, the PlayStation 4 became the largest console launch ever.”Furthermore, the report states that “The initial success of the PlayStation 4 bodes well for its future. The PlayStation 2 and Wii went on to be the best selling console systems ever.” However, “DFC Intelligence does not believe that the PlayStation 4 will surpass those systems but reiterates its forecast that the PS4 will be the number one system of this generation.”The report later notes that DFC Intelligence “forecasted” multiple times pre-launch that PS4 would lead the market upon its launch, and that “The successful launch of the PlayStation 4 reinforces [their] forecast."
