Why people here refuse to make simple arithmetics?

Microsoft already shipped more than 6mi consoles by the end of June, the very worst case is still 5.9.

Do you guys realy belive that no one, anywhere, is buying XOne.?

If Sony shipped about 10.5mi PS4 until the and June and sells 10mi until August first week, how on earth Microsoft ships 6mi and still won´t sell 1mi of them 3 months after?


they still have day ones for sale, officialy.

Oh, boy!

You got me. No XOne has been sold since lauch anywhere!!! And it amazes me they are charging the same price!!

I wonder in which landfill Microsoft dumped all the Titanfall bundles.

I will almost believe the 6m by end of September but 12 at the end of the year? That's not how sales work.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

If Amazon (US) is anything to go by, Destiny PS4 and XONE are pretty close to each other. Destiny is going to be a big push for the Xbox One (but not as big as the White PS4 bundle), and probably the truest test to see if most 360 users are converting to PS4. With the Madden Bundle in the US, and the Fifa 15 and Fifa 15/Forza bundle in Europe, and any extra sales from Japan, 6 million is guaranteed.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

no xb1 will outsell ps4 in uk

things will change

 

 

Not a chance. Living in the UK, I can say for certain that XB1 is getting trashed right now. I think even more so than the numbers here suggest.

If you guys have been on a couple of forums you'd have seen something.
3M by the end of 2013, 1.1m in the USA until now (NPD), that's 4.1M worlwide. We all know that most of the sales of the Xbox brand come from the US, even more so this generation (official numbers from Italy and Germany, look out for them, they're... one sided) so it's pretty impossible for the X1 to have sold (not shipped) 900k in the same timeframe in the rest of the world. It's logic. X1 is at most at 4.8M currently.

So all your predictions are very unlikely to be true, just saying.



I dont' think xbox one will hit the 6 million by September, even with international console releases.  My guess is that they will finish the year out around or just above 7 million.

The last shipment number Microsoft announced, April-June, was 1.1 million Xbox One/360. I don't see them hitting 6 million by the end of next month. 



6 mio. through September is possible, if on the upper bound, Destiny and the tier 2 countries will do something for XB1, after all. That would make it about 3 mio. YTD 2014, give or take a handful of 10000s. I would estimate between 2.8 and 3.5 million (so 8.8-9.5 LTD through December 14).

History tells us, Q4 (Sep-Dec) sales are about 50% of a calendar years sales. So, to reach toasts prediction XB1 had to sell double of what a console historically does in Q4 and so about 2/3 of its 2014 sales in three months. It won't.

Destiny might spur holiday sales early and sales usually go up from September on so there is a remote possibility that October can reach September sales (would be around 800000 then) or more when holidays really kick in. But then even 150000/week would mean a doubling of recent sales, 200000 a threefold increase, for comparison the 360 grew its weekly sales by around 20% (or less) between its first July and October on average .

3.2 million in November (four times October) is more than XB1 will sell in Nov+Dec combined, possibly even Q4 (see above) 2 million in Dec is still too high given that sales will decline by 60-80 percent the week after Xmas. As noted in the other toastboy (Xbone One tier 2..) thread, Nov and Dec can be million-sales-months for XB1, but more like 1-1.4 and .8-1.2 millions, respectively .

(PS4 though, might reach 3.2/2 million or more in Nov/Dec, by Sony's GC numbers (10 mio) it will be about 7 mio YTD through Sep and thus sell around that or more for Q4, that would mean 18+ LTD through 2014).

That isn't going to happen. XB1 should finish with at least 8m, probably closer to 9m
