800k less Xbox's shipped than last year, Not good especially with the pricecut. Time for another pricecut? They need this early momentum.
Ps4 shipped 4500k last year, will they also under perform like X1? I guess 5400k.
WiiU shipped 1950k last year, I feel they will improve slightly, about 2300k

Good numbers for Xbox, but not amazing. I expected XBO shipments around 11-12 months ago, so I'm not surprised. At least I was right with XBO numbers....

I'm curious what XBO will do during 2015 because the competition is going to be much harder than in 2014.

Has anyone got an idea of the gap between PS3 and the 360 based on this update? It's clear, even if there is actually a lead for the PS3, it didn't happen as soon as some would have liked. I guess Microsoft predicted it right early on when they said PS3 would not have overtaken 360 by the end of the generation (which most here agreed at the time, occurred when the next generation started).


We'll get a clearer gap when Sony reveals their numbers.



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

You realise it's 360+XB1 right? What's your reasoning for XB1 needing to pick up the flack 360 leaves behind (which is falling at a rapid pace, probably down YOY 1.2 - 1.6m yoy). XB1 was up yoy, that should be the takeaway.

Why can't they just release the individual platform shipment numbers? I really don't understand what they're trying to achieve in clouding the numbers (same goes for Sony). It seems so pointless.

If anyone can give me a proper explanation, i'd be interested to hear.

Looks to be good tracking from VGC. If the channels are stuffed we won't be able to tell until next quarter results. But it's a possibility. In fact I can imagine the channels be stuffed with both the PS4 and X1 due to a slightly less than expected December.

VGC seems to be spot on with the tracking:
Xbox One and 360 at 6 Millions and 83.3 Millions as of October 4th
Xbox One and 360 at 11 Millions and 84.4 Millions as of January 3rd.
So that means Xbox One and 360 sold 5 millions and 1.1 millions during the quarter for a total of 6.2 Xbox Sold. Leaving 400 K on shelves + whatever was on shelves for the previous quarter. Unless the previous numbers on shelves was really high, that is a very good tracking by VGC

How much d'yall think combined PS4/PS3 shipments will be compared to X11/X360 shipments?


X11?! :O

Have I been transported to the future? :P


For some reason my phone autocorrects it to that every time I type X1 D:

I know the feeling brother, these phones ain't all that smart if you ask me. lol!

FFXII? Direct XII? Curious, indeed.

MS to hide the fact they are being soundly beaten by PS4.

Sony to hide Vita's terrible sales

And probably because the overall figure is what share holders care about most and they aren't interested in breaking it down so guys on forums can discuss them

So how many are we assuming are sitting on shelves according the VG tracking.


1m. That sounds fine to me too.

IDK that sounds too high. 1 million on shelves during the slow months would be too much, I doubt retailers ordered that many.

Given the success of the price cut, I could see some serious channel stuffing. It also remains to be seen how much of an impact wholesale resellers had, trying to screw the customer by buying low in bulk. If you're MS, you really don't care who's ordering lol.
