@VXIII Wondering the same, the pre-orders were at ~218k already and the first VGC numbers pointed to those same numbers as if the game did not sell besides the pre-orders, as if no one goes to the stores anymore, and then yesterday they cut again to 150k-ish. Something is VERY wrong

The generation started 2012 with the Wii U.

Oh ya.....damn my bad.

Enough with the 2:1 worldwide.. First.. it isn't even true..  3.9 Xbox One vs 6.3 PS4..    Not 2:1..     PS4 would need a MILLION consoles more to be 2:1...  It is 1.62:1.

Second.  Xbox One = 13 markets (not closed to worldwide release until 9/14)..   PS4 = Over 50 markets and pretty much worlwide release.   So the PS4 is in 4 times as many markets as the Xbox One.. Yet only has a 1.62 times sales advantage..    The Xbox One would only need sales of 64k in each market to be at 6.3 (If both were in 50 markets)... I do NOT think the Xbox One would do that.. But I do think it would be much competitve if their was launch parity.  Maybe 5 vs 6.3 mil. 

Both consoles are selling great. It is NO surprise the $100 less (and more powerful specs) is selling better.  Microsoft has yet to show the real ability of the Kinect 2, but once they do and if they do keep this $50 price cut, I think sales will continue to be strong.

TWITCH has made people want cameras (this was unexpected). Sony has sold almost a MILLION of theirs and that is with stock issues. Now with the Xbox One having full TWITCH broadcasting, I think MORE people are happy the Kinect is included.  At a $450 price the Xbox One is competitive enough (With a free game of some sort also)... No need to go to $399 until after 2014.  Kinect Sports Rival seems to have some buzz building also, and I am sure the 6 month delay was to make sure this game was polished (if it's not.. this will be a BIG blow for Microsoft)..  Again.. something else that makes that Kinect 2 have value..

The gap between the two versions makes you doubt the numbers even more. The souls franchise is usually much more populair on Playstation. Can't wait for NPD, hoping for some leaks.

Titanfall is already over a mill just on Xbox one

So, in which markets XBO has to launch yet do you expect great XBO sales? Feel free to name several countries.

Of coarse it is, X1 owners finally got there exclusive multiplayer shooter....

Stop with that damage control :

- The other markets are the small one. You think Nigeria will change something ?

- Forget about Japan LMAO

- PlayStation's brand is dominating Rest Of The World. And it's even more true with PS4... be happy that PS4 got supplie's issues

Who said anything about GREAT sales?? I didn't..   My figure of 5 mil.. would have meant only an average of 32k in those 37 markets in 5 months..  ... Just 6400 consoles a month would have to have been sold in each of those 37 markets to hit 5 million by now..  so 236k a month combined.. each month roughly.     These would not be "GREAT" sales.. but they would surely have been doable.
