Microsoft needs to seriously bring the price down to 300 dollars this holiday and have bundles to keep the momentum. Microsoft needs to get to the 20 million range by the end of the year which seems reasonable unless I am missing something.

You're missing the fact that 20M X1 consoles sold would require 5M sold in November and December, which would be completely insane.


Not really. We have it at 4.4m last year. A slight increase should be expected.

I don't know if I'm missing something here.

Sony posted shipment numbers of 29M+ as of the end of October. And VGC is tracking 26.5M as at the end of October. Meaning that at the end of October there were 2.5M PS4s sitting around in channels?

Further more, for that quarter Sony shipped 4M consoles. meaning they have a manufacturing rate of approx. 1.3M/month. Yet they have almost 2 months worth if stock just sitting there unsold?

Something doesn't seem right with that to me. Especially when considering that in a similar quarter last year they even shipped less consoles than they did this year. And the sales to stock gap wasn't this high.


You are missing something, although in the opposite direction.

PS4 is at 29.3 million shipped at the end of September...

wow!!!! so vgc numbers are even worse than I thought???!!!!



Nice sales for ps4 and xb1. halo 5 provided a nice boost for xb1 in US.

They can't just chop of $50 every year, the investors wont like that. It can't average a $100 drop each year. They'll probably smash black friday anyway.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

PS4 numbers in Japan looking pretty fit.

Wii U should hit 12 million before 2016. Unless something goes terribly wrong for Nintendo this holiday season.

Am I the only one who can't access the "Hardware by Date" tool?

Nope, it's been broken for a little while. There's some posts in Trucks' thread about it.

From what I saw, it's something from VGC Pro. That's causing the problem and I don't have access to that.



Signature goes here!

From 11/1/14 to 1/3/15, X1 sold 4.4M units and had the second highest BF sales ever. Even with their deals and record-breaking sales, they still fell 500K short of what they would need to sell this year to hit 5M. To put that in perspective, X1 sales would have to quintuple over the past 2 months of the year (Keep in mind that sales already doubled from the beginning of October to the end of October, for the Halo release, making it more like 10X baseline increase). Also, leading into October, X1 was selling about 100K fewer units a month than the previous year. MS would effectively have to duplicate last year's sales and then sell 50%+ more than last BF, which would effectively be 50% greater sales than the BF record the Wii set in 2008. With all of those factors, I'm just not seeing it and think you're asking too much of them.



Ps4 massively undertracked?
