Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware Up 13 December 2014

Total hardware is only up 6%, which is the smalles increase since 2004 (but that was because of a drop of in sales because it was shortly after DS launch, and it doesn't include PS2 numbers, which were indoubtedly very high.)


Yeah, these numbers will be adjusted up.

The Gap in the Global between PS4 and X1 was 7.2M in the week-ending Dec the 6th. In the week-ending Dec the 13th PS4 sold roughly 240k more than X1, but the Gap is still 7.2M ?? So X1 was adjusted up by VGC right ?

PS4: 15.85m

XBO: 8.93m

Gap: 6.92 as at 29th Nov

Last two weeks:

PS4 752,485 781,557 
XBO 588,330 546,189 

PS4: 15.85 + 0.752 + 0.782 = 17.38 

XBO: 8.93 + 0.588 + 0.546 =  10.06

Gap: 7.32M

So the homepage seems pretty accurate with that

It's like that over here in Israel as well. Heck, over here the Vita is more popular than the 3DS (likewise for PSP and DS)...


One shopkeeper in my country said, they sold 100+ PS4 and compared to it they have sold 2 Xbox One. Hell, Wii U is more popular than Xbox One. People just dont want to buy Xbox One.



Oh nice looks like Xbox One passed 10 million, 11 by the end of December looks very very likely.



Massive sales for PS4. im gonna bet 3DS is over tracked.

Looking back: 28%, 13%, 24%, 13%, 9%, 20%, 16% .... have been the increases in this week. I don't see any reason that this year's would be lower or why Europe and US would decrease. I'll wait before judging these numbers because it does seem very likely they'll be adjusted



Congrats Xbox One for hitting double figures! :)



Looks like for the end of the Year(Week ending Jan 3rd) the sales will be

PS4 18.5-19.5m
XBO 11-11.5m

Great numbers for both, if achieved.

Also with VGC heroic under-tracking of PS4 all year, maybe PS4 will actually have surpassed 20 million by then!(but don't expect VGC to show that!)



If MS can just improve their sales in Europe somehow then MS wouldn't have to worry about X1's sales.

Other then PS4 being rounded down to 17.3 and X1 being rounded up to 10.1....
