Sony wins once again but this time from the very start. Let the xbox oblivion begin !!!


1m plus in 24 hours is oblivion.  lmao. 

Oblivion just ain't what it used to be these days lol.  The Dreamcast got sent to Oblivion.  The Saturn got sent to Oblivion.  The GameCube got sent to Oblivion.

XB1?  It'll be there neck-and-neck with the PS4 all the way through this gen.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

1 million units sold is a lot and far away to be considered yield issues....but, if PS4, hypothetically sells 2 times more in the next week compared to Xbox one, can it be considered that Microsoft had issues to produce as much units as Sony??, so to say..., not absolutely but relatively "yield issues" compared to PS4??.

If this would be the case, me, personally I wouldn't call it an issue, but it you perform in anything worse than your main rival in the same period of time, some people may call it that way.


Sony could have started production before Microsoft. They did ship earlier, after all. 

And what's the reason to start production after Sony???, Should i consider this, the "yield issues" Microsoft supposedly had in the beginning that caused that delay??, or is just that Microsoft didn't have the console ready like Sony to start production??

Both conclusions, can be considered an issue or a failure because if that means that Sony will be able to sell more units because of production and not because of lack for demand, this is a huge mistake by someone there at Microsoft.

Errr... It's not like Sony and Microsoft started the whole design process on the same day... -__-

Don't I know. Hopefully they'll ship me one from NZ where they're unappreciated apparently. Does anyone actually have any idea how many X1s were produced? Or how they were allocated? I thought not. I just hope poor underdog M$ can prop up their failing console business till I can actually get one.

You know who started earlier?? I don't, and it doesn't matter, both were announced in a short period of time difference, and both were announced to launch at the end of 2013. One was ready to launch but the other was more ready....

Spin it whatever way you want. As far as facts go, both have sold their first milion units in a single day. Both are currently on equal footing.

I don't think i'm spin it anything...., but, you're right in two things, both sold their first million in a single day and both are currently on equal footing on 23 November...but this won't be the case at all in just a week. Time will tell, but i'm confident I won't be wrong. Perspective will show that PS4 have a lot more supplies than Xbox One worldwide.

Perspective will show you that both consoles won't have their shipping aligned. One will ship before the other. How many PS4 does Sony have in store for their second shipment? You're free to assume all you want. Until actually demonstrated, this is groundless. If I'd assume like you do, I'd say availibility for both consoles will be very limited until Christmas. Sony will most likely manage to ship more, but that's because they started production before the competition.

Since when we have considered here aligned sales??? And 1 week could seem a lot right now, but when we arrive at 2014, it would be meaningless. And of course I'm assuming things, it's not the point to do it here on Vgchartz forum, i dont' want to talk after things happens, i want to figure it out what will happen before it happens. 

I just wanted to see your opinion and i respect it. Now, we just need to wait the upcoming weeks and see who will be right.... if you care of course.
