That said, their latest number is too high because that would mean a drastic reduction in the US:WW ratio which is not likely considering (1) what Microsoft said about Xbox hardware sales for Q3 FY2018, (2) the NPD numbers in that same time period, and (3) the vast majority of XB1X units were likely shipped for the US as it launched. |
Agreed. I haven't heard or seen any evidence that XBO sales have suddenly picked up in other countries, which it would have to do more so than in the US, since it is up YOY. Also, their PS4 estimates are too low. 2.4M consoles on shelves at the end of March? That's close to the holiday gap between shipped and sold. VGC has it around 1.5M. I would think that is more accurate, as it is in line with previous years.
