"As you’ve probably read by now, cumulative PS4 sales have now surpassed six million units worldwide following the successful launch in Japan just over a week ago. It’s truly humbling to see the rate at which gamers across the globe are choosing PS4 as their next gen console of choice. Even more exciting is what happens when gamers power up their PS4s. In the United States, more than 90% of PS4s are online, enabling gamers to connect, compete and share their greatness with friends and fellow gamers."

13.7M software sold!
Some interesting facts
•Killzone Shadowfall is the highest selling game so far, at 2.1M units sold. Other big hitters include Knack, BF4, ACIV, CODG, and FIFA 14
•Last documented sales were from Feb 8, with PS4 at 5.3M. With the Japanese PS4 launch on Feb 22nd, it managed to sell either 309K (Media Create tracking), or 322K (Famitsu tracking) on its first 2 days. Second week sales are 50-60K, making the PS4 somewhere around 360-380K units sold in Japan. This means that the PS4 is only behind the PS2 and Wii in terms of home consoless and the first 2 days of being sold
•Last documented Wii U sales were from Dec 30th, 2013, at 5.8 units shipped. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze probably moved some hardware, so the PS4 is either really close to outselling it, or probably already has.
•Sony's PS4 goal for the fiscal year was 5M. They've now surpassed that number by a million, and still have the rest of the month to get more sales
•The PS4 is on track to be selling at a much faster rate worldwide than both the Wii and PS2

The first post compares the sales record of the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4.

"Remember guys, this 6.0 million is an estimate by SCEI.
It's not absolute hard numbers, and it's assuming that the vast majority of stock sold-in...promptly sold-through as the market is supply-constrained.
However, it's a pretty damn accurate estimate. SCEI spares no expense into making sure their PR is solid.
Fantastic job to everyone involved in SCE WWS."
