| Shadow1980 said: Here's how much every other 21st century system sold in in the U.S. their first July: Wii: 425k Putting those into my ever-growing graph of aligned U.S. hardware sales, and that gives us this:
There are some caveats. The PS3 had a quasi-price cut in July 2007, with the $500 20GB SKU being discontinued and the $600 60GB SKU being reduced to $500. The Xbox and GameCube also were coming off of the effects of price cuts earlier in 2002 (May for the Xbox, June for the GC). I can also estimate that the PS1 sold around 110-120k in July 1996 (it received a price cut to $200 in June), the Saturn sold maybe 25k tops in July 1996, the N64 sold no less than 200k in July 1997 (though keep in mind that it was only $150 at that time), and the Dreamcast sold around 35-40k in July 2000. So, the PS4 likely had the fourth-best first July while the XBO had the fourth-worst. Given that both cost $400, which when adjusted for inflation is still more than almost any other mainstream system at this point after launch except the 360 (which was the only seventh-gen system in July 2006) and PS3, I'd say they're doing pretty good. |
Do you also know which of those are 5 weeks vs 4?
