In my opinion the bigger news here is that xbone hasn't outsold the WiiU yet. The germans really don't like xbox

Its like this in most of europe, and probably worse in middleeast & asia.

Sony just sells better on the world stage.

Wii U standing tall! Love to see it.

So will the PS4 decline this year compared to last or will it be up YOY? I'm pretty sure it sold over a million in Germany last year and since it's at 460k YTD it has to sell well over double for the remainder of the year for it to cross a million. I'm sure the holidays will make that happen no problem and the neo is coming so I'm sure it will be up.

PS4 sold 1.4 million in 2015.

X1 is twice as much as I expected.

Contrary to some people's believes Germany is neither a PS loving or Xbox hating country. It's a PC country and since X1 is just a worse PC all console sales go to PS by default.

Yikes, that is quite the challenge for the PS4 then. 

 

Edit: Looks like holidays are huge in Germany as well with the PS4 selling over 570,000 in holidays alone. Since PS4 will probably have a much bigger holiday, the console should sell more than last year. I'll go with 1.6 million YTD

Impressive for PlayStation in Germany, be curious what effect Neo and Scorpio will have there.

ohhhhhh...... I see. Guess that expains why the PS4 is outsling The XB1 in Germany. They are basically buying a PS4 because the XB1 is too bad a PC to buy.

That means all 3 consoles are undertracked.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
