That was not my point at all... if MS have 1 million manufacture consoles I'm sure they will put at least 700k in US retail. The issue is that... MS started the production late... in August they are making changes in the hardwatre yet... so they have in the best case two months of mass production and they have a big and complex APU to produce. They delayed the console in some countries because they are late in production. I can't see MS shipping more than 600k units but I will be happy if I'm wrong |
I understand, we just disagree on numbers. I believe that global shipment of XB1 this year will reach at least 1.5-2 mil and that at least 1 million+ of that will be heading to NA. I'm also fairly positive they'll have more than 600k unit for NA launch even if they have to bleed the other 12 territory dry. So much of their value added proposition is tied to the US that it just has to take off there above all else.
Sony will be ahead of that though, they're estimating 3 million sale at launch period and given that this the target Sony feels comfortable talking to external press about you can bet that their internal projection will adds another million.
