So, what do we know for sure for XBO?? 4mill in USA and 1m in UK, 5 mill in those markets alone. So according to VGC we have 1'7m in the rest of the world (counting the rest of Europe and the new markets where it launched a few months ago). Considering Microsft already said that they're almost at 10m shipped, and the fact that is holiday season (so maybe around 2m shipped units before BF), this seems to confirm that XBO should probably be nearing 8 mill sold right now probably, around 1m undertracked here.

If that number (near 8m sold right now) is true, XBO will sell more than 10m units before 2015, around 4m, maybe even more, the last quarter of the year.


Ahahah. No.

Xone is the same (or even worse) than 360, US + UK is their major markets. It don't sell at all in germany, same for France, belgium, Italy, Spain, Japan, etc. And Uk is probably 50% of Europe Numbers for the Xone, at least.

At most the One is a 7 million now (if we count 170k undertracked in the Uk...but it's currently overtracked by 100/170k in the Us so...) , and they're still not at 10 millions shipped, they will "soon" (Days ? Weeks ? Months ?)

X360 sales in USA and UK were around 60-65% of total global sales. 5 million USA+UK from 7 million globally would be arou nd 70% of the sales. Considering XBO is doing worse than its predecesor in the rest of the markets...., what you're saying is possible.

But look, I'm what most people here consider a PS guy, I'm more tired of Microsoft PR's spins than anyone else here, but I still think that VGC is not tracking well new gen consoles, XBO included, in Europe and the rest of the world. When Microsoft says they're almost 10m shipped I already thought that maybe they were referring total shipments before 2015, but I want to think Microsoft won't have the balls to spin the numbers THAT MUCH and they're really nearing that number as of today. And if that number is indeed true and XBO is around 9'5-10m shipped, there can't be 3 mill on shelves right now, that's too much in my opinion.

But who knows, I'm not as confident in my XBO predictions as my PS4 ones, and maybe Microsoft is really spinning again. To know real numbers we'll probably need to wait until January....
