Well, we know PS4 has passed 2.1 million units sold and X1 has passed 2.0 million sold. These are apparently sell-throughs too customers. All well and good.

But we haven´t heard one thing since! I would expect some announcment that PS4 has reached 3 million or X1 2.5 million but not one word at this crucial time in the holidays.

WiiU is making good strides in Japan, which is awesome news (I sure hope it can go against my own words and become a great seeling system, only time will tell) but I want to hear more about the other two 8th gen consoles.

How big do you think the sales are? Are you worried that this 8th generation is extremely front-loaded and that sales will drop of quite heavily after the holidays?

I expect Jan and Feb to be slow months for both Sony and MS. If we see another spike it will probably be March for MS due to Titanfall and possibly Sony due to Infamous, but based off previous sales for the Infamous series I don't expect it to be a system seller. I don't think we will see amazing numbers for either console next year until Aug/sept dues to Destiny and a larger game library/more first party AAA titles.

You mean June, for Watch Dogs ;)

Sure there will be some weeks with fewer sales but I don't expect low average sales for the first year with such a great line-up on both consoles. The year after that we'll have the Halos and Uncharteds so pürobably a big jump in sales as well. Who knows whatr will happen after that.
