PS4 beasting like hell. I'm surprised that the X1 only outsold the PS4 in the US by 19k.

Lol okay. In tha case i "know" the more than tripled mean 3.9x times the previous week.

And what about the statement about the last two weeks leading the sales in the US. Do he talk about the one previous week and just the half, the pr come out?
Or did he talk about the Sunset Overdrive week and the Cod week, what would be normal? Do u know that, too?

Do u also know, that the Sony PR, as example, always refers to previous dates?
7th January announce 4.2m Ps4 sold as of 28th December
16th April announce 7m Ps4 sold as of 6th April
12th August announce 10m Ps4 sold as of 10th August

And now u want to tell me, that the PR coming out on 12th Novmber refers to sales of 12th Novmeber?
Microsoft is ofc not that fast. They need time to write and evaluate the PR. They need time to get the numbers right etc...


That PR is clearly not about some half week sales between the 10th and 12th November. And i know that.

If it was 3.9 then they will say 4 times and not three... to say three it was really close to 3 times... if they had the change they will spin even to 3.5 times... 3 means they barelly sold over 3 times.

And I guess you didn't read the PR spin.

"The response to this wave of blockbuster game releases and new bundles has been amazing, and sales have skyrocketed since the new price took effect on Nov. 2. Compared to the previous week, Xbox One sales in the US have more than tripled, which is exciting as more and more friends will be playing together this holiday. As we head into the busy holiday season Xbox One led generation 8 console sales in the US for the past two weeks. Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles."

After Nov 2 price cut... compared with previous week (week ending Nov 1st)... Xbone sales more than trilped in US... wave of blockbusters means Unity, MCC, CoD, and SO... so they cleary are talking about sales up to 12nd or at least 11st.

Yeap... my maths are right.


"The new Xbox One bundles, which feature some of this holiday’s most anticipated games including Assassin’s Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Sunset Overdrive, hit store shelves with a limited time offer of $50 off any Xbox One of your choice. Starting as low as $349 in the US, the Xbox One is more affordable than ever this holiday season."

When were this bundels available for sale? 28th October and 2nd November

The only one who is spinning is you. While u set that qoute behind the sales statement. In the original it was clearly before and is about the new bundles includig that blockbuster games.

That PR is NOT about hardware sales after the 10th November

If u want to interpret PR statments, learn how to read them.

I think people are forgetting that this is only counting 2 days of Smash being on sale, and that it only launched in NA, so still no Europe or Japan sales

The PR is about sales from Nov 2nd until Unity and MCC release... it is clear.

So we're supposed to believe that the Xbone is selling almost 100k in ROW (89588) yet PS4 is only selling 130k in ROW (129617)

I think that the Xbox is over tracked by about 100k (I think 50k ROW is more likely with <200k in NA), as we know that the Xbox brand isn't particularly good in ROW, and Etho has documented why it's being overtracked in NA.

Not that I don't think this weeks PS4 numbers aren't over either, just Xbox's seem beyond silly.

About 25k for 3DS in ROW.

How does that sound for the launch of the New3DS in Australia and New Zealand?
