Well with all the negative bs i think the haters need to worry, the xbox one has the biggest launch ever!

Biggest launch ever? It sold roughly the same as the PS4. So how to you come to this conclusion?

Because it launched in more countries? Do I even need to point out how this argument is ludicrous?

begs to differ

Ok, and? You mean that people were eager to spend MORE for their console on MS side? 

Or are you saying that the XBO made more money, despite you not knowing how much profit each parties get from each sales?

Something else?

The key will be next week... Sony is holding all the supply for Black Friday in US and the full EU launch.

Xbone seems like to have supply in US (some stores) and can MS ship more units for Black Friday in less than a week?

And Software is out of the equation too. How ludicrous.

They both have done amazingly, why so many try so hard to downplay the sale of the Xbox One?

I think that many of those who said they are not impress are secretly the most surprised. many were saying before that the One would not sale at that price, that they would need to remove the Kinect and create a cheaper bundle before the sale start picking up, that resolution and frame rate were so much of a deal that many would cancel there preorders etc.

besides they both were stop by supply in NA if the Xbox One was only to release in NA it would still probably have sold over a million. and if the ps4 was to release ww they would not have sale more system than they did , it would only had been split between those countries.

So please everyone, let it go, drop your double standard opinion, and admit it, both have just done amazingly.

im just saying that Microsoft has the biggest launch ever since they made 100 mil more revenue, which mass media look at ( see GTV launch )

Before anyone gives me shit, let me start off by saying that the 1 million sales in 24 hours by the XBone is quite impressive, but hear me out here. The console launched in 13 countries vs the PS4 launching in only 2, with both selling about the same number within the same time frame. If you average it out, the XBone technically only sold about 77K units per country, vs PS4's 500K + per country. Both had amazing launches, but it's clear that PS4 is outselling the XBone by a large margin, when the console releases in it's other 31 territories in the coming months. I honestly don't find it impossible for the PS4 to be outselling by a 3 to 1 ratio in less than 1/6 of the regions, both of which are arguably XBOX's strongest territories. Not to mention of course, you can still find XBone's in retailers atm, but pretty much every retailer is out of PS4 until March. Think about it for a sec; either XBone is doing just okay or PS4 is doing amazingly. Thoughts?


To me it sounds like they both sold exactly what they shipped... data is truly inconclusive and will be until both are fully launched world wide and there are both of the consoles sitting on the shelves not selling out, and that won't happen until next year.

Not counting games or accessories...You also don't track console launches by revenue you track them by units, why do you think all of the articles and tracking are done on units?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

impressed with Xbox one sales, considering everyone was saying it would flop because of the media hate.. and the horrible start..

1 million in 13 countries vs
1 million in 2 countries is a big difference though


It would flop if MS didn't 180 the DRM stuff. They changed their policies and saved the console, that is pretty much a fact. But all the fuss may have done damage and hurt long time sales, but we will see what happens in the next months.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.
