To me if they can hit 750k, that's just as impressive as the PS4 hitting 1 mill, considering the XB1 costs $100 more.

First off, it's all about supply not demand. Everything Microsoft can ship will be sold. 750k means they couldn't ship as much as Sony.

On top of that, why in the world would price matter? PS3s been consistently more expensive than the 360, so does that make both on par in America? Noooooooooooooo


I think it would be significant for the industry because we've never seen a piece of hardware priced this high sell in some of the quantities you're talking about. 700k in a week or something for game console that expensive is fairly significant, we saw with the PS3, Sony absolutely collapsed under the weight of trying to sell a $500/$600 console. 

If MS can move a significant number of consoles at that price point I think it shows they have a pretty impressive ability to sell in this business. 


Oh no.

These consoles are selling so much day one because of the modern economy. Even the Wii U was 400k I think. Comparing gen to gen numbers is silly. You can relatively compare though, in which the $600 PS3 had a better launch than the $400 360.
