Well this proves that the One can sell well*, right now it's facing tougher competition from the PS4 but it doesn't have to win the generation to be a success. There were special circumstances and now with the games and holidays incoming, hopefully it continues to get bundles like Nintendo does or include a free game, or better yet knock it down another $50. Either way they had a dry spell of just no games like the Wii U had but now it will start chugging along through the holidays and probably a price drop of $50 during or after the holidays.

*In the USA. If those Europe and RoW numbers end up being accurate, "sell well" and anwhere not North America will not go together in the same sentence for Xb one this entire generation; China notwithstanding

I would have expected the dstiny boost in established Xb one markets to be greater than the Tier 2 launch numbers, so I would have thought 50-60K for Europe would be more likely, than a 7K dip. But actually as US sales are reliably 60-odd% of XB one global sales, if the US number is right, then the Number for all of "not US" is actually on point. For markets outside the US to have sold much more than VGC is reporting it would have to mean Destiny on Xb one outside the US is proportionally pushing more Xb one hardware than Destiny is pushing in the USA. If USA gets bumped up to 120K for the week, then I would expect the rest of the world would get bumped up an extra 7-8K.

I can't see Xb one being bumped up in in the USA much more than that. White PS4 bundle and exclusive advertising for PS4, and the fact PS4 is simply selling better than Xb one week in and week out means there is virtually no chance that Xb one gets within 40K of PS4 for the week. So if Xb one gets bumped much over 120K in the USA then PS4 would also need to get bumped.
