| January 20, 2004, 12:23 PM CST by Traderx25 to chairmansteve | Question is...
How many PS2s were defective and replacements?
How many Xboxs were used only for Linux boxes? |
|
| January 20, 2004, 12:29 PM CST by mOnkEynuTz to Traderx25 | | It's still a sale for the respective company thought. It would impact game sales later on but the company has sold that many consoles no matter the intention or use. |
|
| July 28, 2004, 5:56 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of June 2004)
PS2 - 72.01 million
Xbox - 15.5 million
GameCube - 15.22 million
Game Boy Advance - 53.72 million

That puts Xbox slightly ahead of GameCube for total hardware. |
|
| January 27, 2005, 4:27 PM CST by chairmansteve | It's the moment you've all been waiting for.

|
| January 28, 2005, 1:01 AM CST by chairmansteve | We might as well include Nokia N-Gage. The regional data is not available, but Nokia includes the worldwide total sales in its financial reports.
By the end of the quarter, Nokia had cumulatively sold 1.3 million N-Gage devices.
http://www.nokia.com/2004/Q4/
That's 1.3 million N-Gage sold by the end of 2004. |
|
| July 28, 2005, 3:51 AM CST by chairmansteve | It's time for a mini-update with worldwide shipments.
Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of June 2005)
PS2 - 91 million
Xbox - 21.9 million
GameCube - 18.76 million
Game Boy Advance - 67.77 million
Nintendo DS - 6.65 million
PSP - 5.06 million
PSone - 102.49 million
Updated N-Gage stats are not yet available. |
|
| November 25, 2005, 4:34 PM CST by chairmansteve | It's time for another mini-update of hardware shipments.
Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of September 2005)
PS2 - 96.01 million
Xbox - 22.5 to 23 million (unofficially estimated)
GameCube - 19.31 million
Game Boy Advance - 70.04 million
Nintendo DS - 8.83 million
PSP - 8.81 million
N-Gage - 2 million
Since updated Xbox sales numbers are not expected until early 2006, I estimated from 22.5 to 23 million. Xbox 360 numbers should also be available in early 2006.
The figures are shipments (or "sales" to stores) using official manufacturer numbers, not from third party organizations such as NPD, Media Create, Chart Track, etc. |
|
| December 2, 2005, 9:05 AM CST by Avinash_Tyagi to chairmansteve | | Then that explains why the Sony PSP Numbers are overly high, its their own released figures which we know are bogus. |
|
| January 26, 2006, 7:19 PM CST by chairmansteve | The next generation has started!
Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of 2005)

|
| May 25, 2006, 4:20 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of March 2006)
PS2 - 103.69 million

GameCube - 20.85 million
Xbox 360 - 3.2 million
Game Boy Advance - 75.13 million
PSP - 17.03 million
Nintendo DS - 16.73 million
DS might pass PSP shipments soon (next two quarters). |
|
| May 25, 2006, 4:27 AM CST by Quaid to Avinash_Tyagi | | Yeah, Sony sales figures look to be inflated by 25% or more, atleast. Makes you wonder about not only PSP sales, but also PS2. |
|
| May 25, 2006, 7:16 AM CST by The_Joker to Quaid | | If you read their financial reports you'll also see that Sony's shipments are production shipments, that is every unit shipped from the factories. Even the ones currently stored in warehouses count, not just the ones "sold" to retailers. |
|
| July 27, 2006, 2:59 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of June 2006)
PS2 - 106.23 million
Xbox - 24.5 million (unofficially estimated)
GameCube - 21 million
Xbox 360 - 5 million
Game Boy Advance - 75.81 million
Nintendo DS - 21.27 million
PSP - 19.05 million
DS will probably lead PSP from now on. |
|
| July 27, 2006, 2:34 PM CST by NFreak to chairmansteve | | Are those numbers misleading or has the PSP really shipped 19 million units? |
|
| July 27, 2006, 2:55 PM CST by Quaid to NFreak | | Sony has manufactured 19 million PSP's, essentially. They could be sitting anywhere. Sony doesn't care, as long as it fluffs up their numbers. |
|
| October 26, 2006, 3:59 PM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of September 2006)
PS2 - 111.25 million

GameCube - 21.2 million
Xbox 360 - 6 million
Game Boy Advance - 76.79 million
Nintendo DS - 26.82 million
PSP - 22.94 million
The next update (End of 2006) will have Wii and PS3. |
|
| January 30, 2007, 1:21 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of 2006)
PS2 - 115.36 million
Xbox - 24.5 million (unofficially estimated)

Xbox 360 - 10.4 million
Wii - 3.19 million
PS3 - 1.84 million
Game Boy Advance - 78.86 million
Nintendo DS - 35.61 million
PSP - 24.7 million
Not many PSP units were shipped compared to last year in Q4.
And Xbox 360 has a 7.21 million lead in the next-gen race. |
|
| May 16, 2007, 3:04 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of March 2007)
PS2 - 117.89 million
Xbox - 24.5 million (unofficially estimated)

Wii - 5.84 million
PS3 - 5.5 million
Game Boy Advance - 79.46 million
Nintendo DS - 40.29 million
PSP - 25.39 million
With 5.5 million PS3, Sony definitely does not have a supply shortage. |
|
| October 25, 2007, 5:19 PM CST by chairmansteve | Sony changed its data from production shipments to retail shipments a few quarters ago. So only PS3 now has lifetime total numbers from Sony. Maybe it's time to drop the old systems from the chart anyway.
Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of 2006)
Xbox 360 - 10.4 million

GBA - 80.48 million
DS - 53.64 million
PSP - 28.4 million
(Oct-2008): I found PS2 and PSP retail shipments. I think the data is correct. But since I'm not 100% sure that the published figures from Sony were sales as of June 30, 2008, these charts might be ~2 million above the actual number. |
|
| November 27, 2007, 7:42 PM CST by fiacracka to chairmansteve | thank you SO much chairmansteve, for providing all of this data. it really helps me out at work.
wondering if you have updated worldwide installed bases for PSP?
i was able to find the nintendo handhelds in the nintendo thread, but didn't see a sony thread.
i have to update US and worldwide installed bases for every console on a quarterly basis and it is a total nightmare! (NPD vs. financial statements, sales vs. shipments) |
|
| January 31, 2008, 12:56 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of 2007)
Wii - 20.13 million

PS3 - 10.4 million
PS2 - 127.4 million
GBA - 80.72 million
DS - 64.79 million
PSP - 34.16 million
Wii took the lead. PS3 is where 360 was a year ago. The stage has been set for an interesting hardware sales race over the next two years.
Regional shipment data hasn't been released from Sony or Microsoft, but Xbox 360 still has the lead in North America based on NPD. |
|
| March 6, 2008, 5:20 PM CST by ali_f to chairmansteve | | Hey steve! Do you have the latest console sales list? I am interested to see PS3 sales since Blu Ray won the war :( |
|
| March 6, 2008, 6:41 PM CST by Chris_Redfield to ali_f | | Sony quarterly results should be out in the first week of April, as for February NPD sales, those come out next thursday. |
|
| March 7, 2008, 12:44 AM CST by scruffdog to Chris_Redfield | | Typically corporations don't announce quarterly results until the 3rd or 4th week of the month after a quarter close. Since this is a fiscal annual closing period for Sony we won't likely see it until early May |
|
| March 7, 2008, 3:24 PM CST by Chris_Redfield to scruffdog | | Ah my bad i forgot it was the end of the fiscal year as well, early may is indeed likely. |

I got my hands on PS2 and PSP total sales figures. And I can add PS2 and PSP to the last few quarters by working backwards from these totals. |
|
| October 30, 2008, 5:05 AM CST by monsly to chairmansteve | | The DS overtook the GBA then - I wonder if it'll surpass the original Gameboy's sales eventually? |

| October 26, 2009, 5:19 AM CST by Lammie79 to chairmansteve | Dear Chairmansteve,
where did you get all these figures from? What is your source? I am looking for total handheld games market as from 2007. Do you have "official" numbers? Or could you please give me the source of the figures?
many thanks for your reply.
Kind regards,

Xbox 360 - 33.5 million
PS3 - 27 million
PS2 - 141.2 million
DS - 113.48 million
PSP - 55.9 million
The HD consoles closed the quarter at nearly 52% market share. |
|
| December 17, 2009, 11:06 PM CST by Hawk4x4 to chairmansteve | | I have to say, I'm curious to see if PS3 gained any ground on Xbox360 after their first Christmas season with the Slim model and the new price point. I don't think PS3 will come that close to matching total 360 sales, but the gap will certainly shrink significantly. |
|
| December 18, 2009, 5:08 AM CST by GafferUK1981 to Hawk4x4 | | I agree, the PS3 won't be overtaking the 360 anytime soon but if we go back 2 years I think a lot of people would be surprised by just how much ground the PS3 has made up. I can quite confidently say now that the only difference between the 2 is the 1 year head start the 360 had on the market. |
|
| February 12, 2010, 6:20 AM CST by chairmansteve | Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of 2009)

The Wii still has a long way to go to beat PS2 and claim the title of best selling last generation console. |
|
| May 15, 2010, 9:51 AM CST by abroZ to chairmansteve | | What crappy consoles they must be the 360 and ps3 to get outsold by a last generation console. |
|
| May 15, 2010, 2:25 PM CST by nathan_drake to abroZ | | These numbers tell me that PS2 outsold XBOX 360 as well if you compare them to the last post of Chairman if I am not mistaken. |
