They are the same. If MS decided to launch in NA only, they would still sell over a million. It's all limited by stock for both companies right now.

 I somehow doubt that. You're basically implying that M$ produced an almost identical ammount to Sony overall, but just divided it up a lot more. I'm 99% sure they shipped the same ammount of units throughout the US as Sony, if not more, seeing as that's their strongest region (or used to be...). They just didn't sell more becuase there's less interest in the XBone in that region than the PS4. Just wait for the PS4 to release in the rest of it's regions, and it's going to skyrocket past XBone, even though it's probably done that already.

I say we should be intrigued by what could come of this generation. Not of what has happened just now.

However, the PS4's numbers are impressive...

I do not understand anything. In the majority of shops online this completely sold Xbox One. It is possible neither to buy, in Spain some units exist in the shops but in the shops online it is not possible to buy. I have called for telephone and they say to me that they do not have units. In The United States also there are shops with everything sold. Can someone explain to me because only a million has been sold? Just now they losing sales because WE cannot BUY THE CONSOLE. Pd: Only have they sent to the shops those that were reserved? Pd: And because I cannot buy the console in thousands of shops?

We should be impressed with Xb one's 1 million and amazed at PS4's 1 million. And when PS4 gets effectively a >2 million console launch (by combining NA + almost rest of world launches minds should be blown, or at least socks should be knocked off.

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?

1milx500

begs to differ

So PS3 have always been ahead of X360 because if we compare the price difference then ... 80M @250 average vs 80M @350 average is really much more, thanks to agree.

At least is better then xbox360 launch xboxone sale are not impresive but they are very good but Playstation 4 sale are really impresive.
I'm happy with sale of both console because is proove to people who think console market will die it is not true,and i'm nearly sure both will do better then ps3 and xbox 360.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

The One had a really good launch. It's just going to be completely dwarfed by the PS4 when we get its EU numbers.

To those saying they are the same because MS would have sold 1M if it only launched in NA, that's a silly comparison. If Sony relocated all of their supply to NA, instead of launching in 20+ other countries next week, they probably would have sold ~3M.


And if MS had 3 million to sell world wide they would have sold 3 million at launch. Whats your point? At this stage in the game they are still even until supply catchs up with demand. All you have is wishfull thinking at this point. Something fanboys everywhere get when they want to see the other guy go down in flames. Personally I'm happy Sony sold a million because before E3 I was concerned they would not do very good this gen and we would be looking at the real possibility of no PS5. My concerns are put to rest. Now I  want to see the Xbox One recover because if we loose MS from the marketplace there will be no reason for Sony to step up their game next gen. Since we are all gamers, we should stop bashing each other and support Sony, MS and Nintendo. If any of these manufactures leave the market, we all loose. I feel real good about both Sony and MS now just wish Nintendo sales would start to pick up. Based on how much dust mine has been collecting I'm worried :(

Yours is an if that could never happen.  Mine is one that could happen if Sony chose to have it happen.  That fact is Sony has way more supply.  My point was some think the launches are on the same level, when they are not.

And I'm not worried at all about Sony being on top.  They were for the PS1 and PS2 era and never got lazy with releasing quality games for their players.  Nor did they just drop support to give 100% to their new console.  They would do the same this gen, even if they end up 20M+ ahead of the One.  Personally, I think MS has brought more negatives to the console business than they have positives, so I wouldn't really mind if it became an only Sony/Nintendo biz.

Maybe SEGA could return to bussiness *-*
