PS4 sells 1 million units at US launch

The new PlayStation 4, launched five days ago (November 15) in the US has sold 1 million units on its first day of sale. The console, which has received positive reception from critics, is set to overtake Wii U as the best-selling eighth generation console in a few weeks. 

The new console will launch on November 29 in the UK and early 2014 in Japan.

Meanwhile, the Xbox One will launch this Friday (November 22), which will be expected to be the fastest-selling console (via pre-orders) until PS4's UK launch.

Honestly I strongly believe that the PS4 will overshadow the Wii U, like two generations ago, when the PS2 overshadowed the Sega Dreamcast in 2000, leading to the latter's discontinuation in March 2001, though games were still made until 2007.
