Well, it seems the Xbox One has recently sold out on Amazon.  However, it wasn't enough to push it over the launch edition of the PS4, which still rests comfortably at #3 for the Best Sellers of 2013 (So Far).  The Xbox One was able to end up at #6.  Of course, what's quite impressive with the PS4's position is that on Amazon, the PS4 was split up amongst several SKUs, while the Xbox One only had 1 SKU.  Some of the PS4's other SKUs have broken the Top 100, as well.  The BF4 bundle currently sits at #92.  The Watch Dog bundle sits at #77.  And while the Standard Edition currently sits at #66, it is still available, so it will most likely be heading up the list quite quickly.

Many may remember that in late June, a Gamestop memo was leaked that stated that Sony basically told them to open the flood gates for preorders.  Even with a seemingly endless supply, the PS4 has already sold out of every one of its SKUs on the Gamestop website.  On the flip side, Gamestop was warning stores to not take more preorders than they were alotted for the Xbox One, due to limited supply.  It seems that even with this limited supply, Gamestop has still not sold out of Xbox One's online.  I think it's pretty safe to assume, the PS4 is going to greatly outpace the Xbox One in Gamestop sales.

On a related topic, if one were to look at Amazon UK, the PS4 is also #3 for Best Sellers for the year.  The Xbox One, on the other hand, is only at #44.  I think it's safe to say that the PS4 is going to enjoy a very good launch in the US and the UK, two Xbox strongholds of last gen.  I think Sony is about to take back the US and the UK.  What say you?


So how many of each sku?

or you just writing a page with out any facts, numbers or sales. We don't even know how many of each sku. Plus Amazons sales records have been rumored to be a mess.

Also wait until MS Marketing Machine kicks in to high gear. Everyone is going to want one. Next year they will release Illumi-room. boom. Hardcore will love Illumiroom. It's the most immersive play style I have seen yet.

Sorry, I just can't take this thread serious. It's just way to early. No numbers or facts makes it hard to say anything. People will forget about all this DRM by November.

Of course no one has numbers.  But, we do have the PS4 at #3, with 3 other SKUs in the Top 100 for the year (one of which is still available, so will continue moving up the list), while the Xbox One is at #6 with one SKU.  So, the PS4 is outselling it there.  The Xbox One has very limited supply, but hasn't sold out at Gamestop.  The PS4, a month ago, had "unlimited supply," yet has sold out at Gamestop. 

Also, MS's "Marketing Machine" doesn't have a perfect track record.  Zune, Vista, 8, Bing, and Windows Phone.  MS put big bucks behind those products, but they didn't catch on.  Bottom line, if people don't want a product, no amount of money MS throws into marketing is going to make them want it.

LOL. Watch and learn.

So your basically saying that your thread just flame bait? Not to be rude but really it has no facts at all but to flame at Xbox one. So whats the number of XBOX one's being made. You seem to know the number. What is it then?



XBox One is sold out at best buy and PS4 is not. This thread is completely wrong. However just as you come to find out, there is no way to prove either way. So whats the point of the thread?

Do you honestly think Microsoft is the only company to have something like illumi-room in development? Sony released a video of their version of illumi-room back in 09, three years before MS did.

Ok, well where is it?

This was obviously going to happen, the reason the 360 did so well in north America was it's price

nothing more

Whisful thinking.



@dj evolve: No you're totally right the X1 is outselling the ps4 everywhere currently... it has all the top spots on all the charts. Even though ps4 is #3 and x1 is #6 in NA its only because it was the third to sell out this year obviously the x1 has 5 million pre-orders already across the world! Come November no one will remember PS(what?) because the X1 has done a better job of viral marketing their product and is outselling world wide. I mean sure the second week after e3 the given numbers indicated the PS4 outselling the X1 by more than 2:1, but that was before the removal of the DRM and everyone knows about that. I mean who doesn't know/remember something that was only revealed to small number of concerned consumers? I'm sure everyone by now knows that the X1 is DRM free (just like PS3/4) and is now the more capable device for gaming. Which is why they are outselling the ps4 world wide especially in US/UK.

"Yo DJ spin that ish"
*and by ish I mean of the bull variety

I don't. Shit, guess I'm not hardcore. Well, I better go play Nintendo then. :

On a more serious note, I think it's safe to say that the PS4 will outsell the Xbox One at launch. Just because of the fact that Sony can produce more consoles right now. But Wii U will outsell both anyway. ;D



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

WOW , really smart peps. I made the comments because thats the whole point of the thread. you can't prove nothing I said or him. So there is a whole bunch of hand slapping going on with no proof. PS4 may blow the doors off XBone or the other way around. I was making a point about the thread.

You ever hear of satire. Of course not.



I fully expect the X1:PS4 to be a lot closer to 1:1 in the US in about 6mo to 1yr after release of both consoles.

Initial sales might only reveal who has most stock, and at this point it does look like Sony has the most. However, after initial production I don't think that it will make a difference in sales and then we can truly see what is/will be in terms of sales.

HX gamers didn't flock to Wii U because it came a year early and had lack of third party games. I think most core gamers / early adopters were waiting for the reveal of next gen consoles. If the Wii U had more 3rd party support I wouldn't doubt it being able to stay profitable / relevant as a console. Now that all new consoles have been revealed I expect a huge spike in Wii U sales this holiday season, and record sales for the gaming industry in general.
