| Ryng_Tolu said: XBOX shipments last quarter: 1.4 million. ( Estimate: 1.1m XB1 / 300k 360 ) XBOX shipments this quarter: ?
NPD XB1 sales last quarter: 623,000 [ 187k / 139k / 297k] NPD XB1 sales this quarter: 672,000 [ 189k / 202k / 281k] ( +8% compared to last quarter )
You think XB1 has ship 1.9 million when it sold LESS THAN 700K in the US? How is even possible? You think MS has ship OVER 75% XB1 compared to last quarter when in the US they sold just 8% MORE? Lat year XBOX total shipments was 2.4 million, most estimate has 1.7 million XB1 and 700k 360. You think XB1 is up YOY this quarter in shipments? Did you forget last year XB1 is coming in many new countries?
XB1 is most likely under 1.5 million shipped this quarter. Probabily 1.3/1.4 million XB1 and 300/400k 360 for a total of 1.6 / 1.8 million XBOX shipped, way less than last year 2.4 million. That's probabily one of the reason for why MS didn't released any XBOX shipments this time. |
I think the bolded and italicized part is very important. Remember, in September 2014, Microsoft released the XBO in the following countries:
- Argentina
- Belgium
- Chile
- China
- Colombia
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- Greece
- Hungary
- India
- Israel
- Japan
- Korea
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Russia
- Saudi Arabia
- Singapore
- Slovakia
- South Africa
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Turkey
- UAE
MS shipped 100K in China and sold through ~31K in Japan for September 2014. And then, we need to take into shipments for the other 25 countries. We don't have any data on that, but it's pretty safe to say that the the total shipments for the 27 "Tier 2" markets made up a significant chunk of the 2.4 million Xbox family shipments. That kind of performance just cannot simply be replicated because MS isn't launching the XBO in any other market.
