Dem supply issues. Sony should really shift something from the rest of the world including Europe towards the US. Or else X1 fans start believing that there is less demand for PS4 in the US.
Just let those Europeans wait for a bit longer, not much danger of them shifting to the X1.

 

Agreed. The Europeans aren't going anywhere. There is no battle to be won there. Take a look at Amazon US and the PS4 is being sold at over $600.00 through third-party sellers. That's crazy.

Once the PS4 is steadily in stock like the xbone on Amazon and other suppliers in the US then all will be revealed. Right now it is not a "fair battle" due to supply issues.

It's just the way it is. PS4 is global. Xbox One is local.

It is kinda impressive how PS4 keeps on selling like that with PS3 is still selling like it's 2012.

That's why January will be so much fun. I wonder how X1 numbers look outside of the holiday season.

can they really be so ignorant.

no logic.  x nation should clebrte only when ps4 is in stock and if bone miraculously outsales it.

yeah I don't think Sony cares what Xbox fans are celebrating.  If they're selling everything they put on shelves they're happy

The Xbox One NEEDS to do something about it's sales in Europe. Those are awful for a brand new console. Lower sales than the PS3 and just 8,000 units above the 360 is not a good sign.

If they can't gain traction outside of the U.S. they risk getting blown out this gen especially with how strong the PS4 has been in NA.



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.

PS4 is solid, still heavily supply constrained in US and EU. Will be a couple of weeks before we get a clearer picture of it's demand.

XBO is flailing in EU, maybe it's because Microsoft only bothered to release in 11 countries. They need to expand quickly.

WiiU fell of a cliff, so much for that momentum. I'm not sure what Nintendo can do at this point, release Mario Kart as soon as possible and hope for the best.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I personally believe the PS3 is overtracked... lots of evidence for it.  But in any event;

2012 Jan 7th 476k

2013 Jan 5th 398k

2014 Jan 4th 247k

 

 

 


What evidence is there for it being overtracked? I agree though that it's not selling like it did in previous years.
