Sony sells over 1 mil PlayStation 4s in first day

1 Million in just one day is a fantastic achievement for a gaming console. I believe that's a new record for gaming consoles.

The're wise to launch a phenomenal product & sell it at decent price. The gaming world is so competitive that no one gets a do-over. Good going Sony!

The core gamers will always buy, but the issue with this coming gen of consoles is if the casual gamers will continue to buy. That 1 million PS4s got the core gamers out; now it's just a matter if there's going to be a long tail of sales from casual gamers.

BTW, Japanese core gamers are pissed that they're not part of the launch party: http://www.japantoday.com/category/technology/view/japanese-gamers-feeling-left-out-in-the-cold-as-new-consoles-launch-elsewhere

But at least they avoid these types of launch issues, such as PS4's "blue light of death": http://blogs.computerworld.com/hardware/23151/ps4-blod-sony-playstation-4-blue-light-of-death-itbwcw

And we get that the PS4 is eschewing the all-in-one entertainment system to concentrate as a game console, but they didn't have to take away some of the past useful simple non-gaming features like local and LAN media playback and USB storage. (Seriously Sony, can ya put those back in the next software upgrade?)

Anyways, we got this too (shhhhhh!):

So we're already thinking of connecting the PS4 HDMI output to the XB1 HDMI input, then the XB1 HDMI output to the TV, so ya can see both PS4 and XB1 on the same TV at the same time! LOL

Merry X'mas!
