Ok. I just don't see the XB1 pushing 2-3M to retailers in 3 months though. Especially when going off the NPD numbers which is tbeir best and biggest market. But I could be wrong. 

And I also don't see Sony have 2M units floating around in the channels either. My guess is no more than 1M. 

 

The Ps4 exists in 70 + countries and you dont think that there are 2 million ps4 in stores? Even if you can buy it in every shop and its nowwhere outsold?

No I don't. 

Even if we assume that the PS4 is available in 100 countries. Then divide  2M by that we end up with an average of 20k consoles sitting on store shelves. This is really loose math cause there are countries that get a much higher shipment than others and some countries don't even sell up to 20k consoles a month much less have that number sitting on shelves. 

Another thing to consider is that Sony makes around 1M+ PS4s a month. And manufacturing facilities aren't warehouses. So once they are made they are shipped out. Sony can't be be making that many consoles each month for global supply and have about twice that amount still in circulation. Just doesn't make sense. 

I domt see there being any more than 1.3M consoles on store shelves max, and don't forget that every month another 1-1.4M consoles gets added to that number.
