I'm one of the people I think you are refering to.... I'm no hoping anything, I wish Xbox One the best sales they can get. My prediction is based on information i get through internet.

If Xbox One sold 150k in UK from the 1 million total (more or less) announced by Microsoft, I assumed that the number of total Europe and Others might be around 350-400k, so....1 million minus 350-400k is something around 600-650 for North America.

Of course i might be wrong, but that's the risk to try to figure out sales numbers....

I can see why you think that BUT:

-There were still 7 hours left in the US when they announced that

-Game preorders for Xbox One were similar to PS4's preorders even though all the games have been out for other systems a whole week later

-Xbox One launched after PS4 which means that they should have supplied more worldwide

-Microsoft said MORE than one million sold in LESS than 24 hours. Which means that in less than 24 hours they could have sold 1.1 million or 1.5 million...who knows?? Probably somewhere in between


1.-The problem is that probably Xbox One suffered the same problem of PS4, being sold out in its first day, so i don't think Xbox One sold much more after the announcement by Microsoft.

2.-Game preorders were not that similar to ps4's... they were around 30-40% lower.

3.-This doesn't mean much, because both have more units than 1 million manufactured at launch and all of them were made months ago. The ps4 and xbox one that are going to be sold in the first week have been stored somewhere months ago. What i'm trying to say, is, a week is not enough to be an adavantage in production.

4.That's true, and i'm willing to accept that maybe they sold 1'1 million, even 1'2...(but i don't think so), but 1'5 is too much.

 

But, if it's more than 1 million exactly, just take the calculation that NA seems to be around 60-65% of the the launch sales....
