Forums - Sales Discussion - Hardware Up 21st Dec... PS4 Doubles Xbone Sales

Wii U needs to pick up sales in Europe,
it's good to see that the Wii U outsold the Xbone this week



Around the Network

I've predicted some time ago that XO will have to fight hard if it is to outsell Wii U this gen and I stick to this. I think Wii U can outsell XO. XO doesn't stand a chance in Europe - there is absolutely no chance of it ever coming close to X360 numbers here. On the other hand Wii U should pick up to at least decent numbers if Nintendo finally learns what it has to do with it.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

XBO is readily available in the US, right? It's not sold out?



100k rest of the world ps4.
Pretty decent

Wii U outsold Bone. Bone doomed, especially in Europe. Price is just too high.

Lol wut? The correct response is Wii U only sells 12k more than Bone despite 114k sales in Japan where Bone is not available. Wii U doomed everywhere but Japan. Price is not a factor so it must be just that people are indifferent to it. Bone is doing badly in Europe but Wii U is doing worse! Bone has price as excuse, what's Wii U's?

Anyway I'm just bummed that CoD is the highest selling game on PS4bone. Looks like another FPS dominated generation incoming

That is what i have said aswell.

PS4 will dominate. Wii U and X1 will be at each others throats.

Most likely another round of PS2 like gen.

 

Of course, Microsoft can go crazy if they want to take huge losses and either cut the price or take that kinect out. I dont think taking the kinect out is enough. They need to have a lower price than the PS4 to have a chance.



Hmm PS4 COD went from over a mill to 700ish thousand units..... These numbers are all sorts of weird. I would just wait for NPD.

And when the Bone IS available in Japan, will it sell well enough there to overcome the Wii U's edge in that region?

Yet the PS2 gen Xbox was still my favorite. Sold my PS2 to get an xbox and loved it. Sony let the PS2 era go to their heads when PS3 came around and imo dropped the ball at the start. I think Xbox has that same mentality sony had going into gen 7. We sold way more than previous hardware so we do what we want and now it will hurt them the first year or two until they straighten stuff out.



Well at least we know that it's not the X1's supply restraints this time. So what's it then?
