News from China (will be reported in week ending Oct 4th):

xbox one has "reached" 100,000 units whose exact meaning (shipped vs sold) is debatable at this time.

other considerations:  Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor launches this week too. 

who will win the week ending in Oct 4th?

I'm surprised the us numbers are so close. How many Europe territories is the ps4 currently in and how many territories is the x1 currently in?

not exactly sure,.. all of them?

no, ps4 will win

Xbox fans care about sales?

i'm no xbox fan so that means i'm allowed to care?

Pretty sure that's shipped.

anyways,. i think it will be quite close. i kinda think xbox will get the win in 2 weeks and adjustments will take it away from xbox like what happened with the titanfall release week.

You know, contrary to popular belief, people from all sides care about sales.  Sales are good indicators of how well a platform is currently doing and how well it's set up for the future.  The key thing to keep in mind is that everyone involved can be successful with the platform without being #1 in sales.  

A #1 spot doesn't mean that the other #2 or #3 spots are doomed for failure.  Success can be found there as well.  

It may show on VGC, but then be corrected later. This has happened before iirc. Tier2 wind down is an issue with this being a reality. China is likely 30-60k, sell in @ 100k is still decent, but sell through is what matters in the end, and as we saw JP go from 23k to 3k to 1k, we will see China @ 1k or so in no time.
