I can't see MS with 1 million units for the 13 countries... if you mean 70% of what Sony shipped then you have 700k for 13 countries and not only two (like PS4). I expect MS shipping ~600k for the 13 countries... ~400k only for US. |
Now I am not saying analyst are always correct but given we are talking about shipment figures rather than sales projection, I feel like they should be at least in the right ballpark.
1.5 - 2 million for Q4 2013 seems like a reasonable (conservative) estimate for each respective console. I think you're seriously under estimating how important NA is to MS and the XBox brand. There is no way MS would ship a meagre 400k unit to the US only. Even as an ultra conservative estimate, I can't see them dropping below 600k initial shipment, and frankly I expect more in both shipment and demand given that Sony would have sold more than 2 million consoles on launch day if there was enough supply.
