DFC Intelligence Forecasts PlayStation 4 to Be Leading Game System for This Generation

Launch Was the Largest Ever for a Console System


A new brief from DFC Intelligence notes that the 2.1 million units sold in its first two weeks makes the Sony PlayStation 4 the biggest launch ever for a console game system. In a series of reports over the past few months, DFC Intelligence has forecasted that the PlayStation 4 would be the number one console game system of this new generation. The successful launch of the PS4 is an indication that Sony is already establishing an early leadership position.


“The most successful console systems of all time in terms of total hardware unit sales were the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Wii, says DFC analyst David Cole. “The PS2 and Wii also had the record for largest initial launch sales but the PlayStation 4 launch surpassed both those systems.”


The complimentary brief is available for anyone signing up for the DFC Dossier.
