They are the same. If MS decided to launch in NA only, they would still sell over a million. It's all limited by stock for both companies right now. |
I somehow doubt that. You're basically implying that M$ produced an almost identical ammount to Sony overall, but just divided it up a lot more. I'm 99% sure they shipped the same ammount of units throughout the US as Sony, if not more, seeing as that's their strongest region (or used to be...). They just didn't sell more becuase there's less interest in the XBone in that region than the PS4. Just wait for the PS4 to release in the rest of it's regions, and it's going to skyrocket past XBone, even though it's probably done that already.

I'm sure you doubt it; how do you explain the difficulty of finding an Xbox One console now? If it is as you say, there should be over a hundred thousand on shelves and in stock. The PS has always had a stronger brand recognition and following due to it being around longer. It sells better overall in Europe and in Japan; it is expected to lead worldwide. However, launch numbers are supply constrained.

My local Gamestop still has them, but I mentioned in a previous post. Did you ever consider that M$ shipped fewer consoles to retailers because they already knew the demand was low, but they wanted to make it seem high through them still selling out, all in an attempt to make people think they're suddenly popular and want one themselves? It's a simple manufacturing tact, that corporations do with their prodcuts often.

Sorry to dissapoint you but sony did ship more to the us than ms, and they probably have made more units.
And the whole "my local gamestop has them" is getting old. The xbone and the ps4 are both sold out and both are now having their supplies held for black friday. You will see a few pop up here and there but basically demand is what is shipped at this point.
Different companies did different strategies to sell their product.
