Systems selling less than 100k in USA mature market. so by comparison this isn't so bad.


It's also a product launch.  More than that, it's a product launch of a type of product that is rarely available (legally) there.  Don't compare such a rare launch period to general monthly sales in the US.  Wait for a few months and then do some comparisons.

 

Don't get it wrong, I think 75k (still unsure if those are official numbers or not...we just don't know) is rather good.  I just think it's invalid to hold them up to some general NPD figures.


You can hold it agaisnt the only other thing you can compare... X1 launch and monthly sales... basically PS4 is doing 8:1 over it. We don't have anything else to compare besides this and NPD or other developed countries not selling very fast.
