I think people are slightly over estimating xbox one's North American numbers, while under estimating It's Europe/Australasia Numbers.

The xbox one had the biggest launch in history in Australia, they even managed to out ship the PS4 here (60 PS4 units to 90+ XB1 units) "I'm not sure if this applies to every store"

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/11/eb-games-calls-the-xbox-one-the-biggest-launch-in-australian-gaming-history/

So that means at least 100k+ units were sold here, maybe 200k if you include New Zealand.

I think the xbox one might even manage to Equal or even beat the PS4 here, Even though demand for the XB1 is lower here.

Oh my word ... you're using 1 shops sales as a source and saying "this means ..." doesn't mean sweet FA sunshine, it's anecdotal in its minimilist form.

No, i'm using Kotaku and EB games as a source

And they claim The Xbox One had the biggest launch in history, so don't expect small numbers.

I'm not. I'm certainly not expecting Aus/NZ to have bigger launches than France, Germany, Canada, UK, US and Mexico, where the gaming indutries far outstrip Aus/NZ. 200k for those 2 countries, are you having a laugh?

The extrapolating was you and it's incredibly wrong.

Did i ever say the Australian Launch would be bigger then those markets? Or are you putting words in my mouth again?

And 100k+ for 2 markets is a modest prediction, And i said it might reach 200k, i never said it will "It was an optmistic opinion"

And you would know all about optimistic opinions, But i won't go further into that.

I was just reminded of something that happened todat; I was on my way to gamestop to pick up my copy of Tearaway, after waiting in a line; due to the XB1 releasing , anyway after picking up my copy a guy walks in to pick up Ryse: Son of Rome so the clerk(and also a friend of mine) hands him the copy and this happened:

Customer: I wanted this for PS4
Clerk: It's only on XB1
Customer: You mean you guys sold out on PS4?
Clerk: No it's exclusive for the XB1
Customer: But I had this pre-ordered for months
Clerk: I'm sorry but it it was announced as MS exclusive for years now....it was a 360 game at one point
Me: excuse me but how did you not know it was exclusive, didn't you see the commercial? it had the XB1 logo after it
Customer: I though it was like Call of Duty; how MS just shows their logo but it's available to all games
Me; oh I see...well sorry dud you're out of luck
Customer: Can I put the money towards something else
Clerk: yeah, what do you want?
Customer: Dead Rising 3
Clerk: That's also exclusive to the XB1
Customer: what!?!? come on really!?
Clerk: I'm sorry, maybe their might be a port sometime down the road...

*insert laughter*

he did pick up KZ: SF thought(I suggested it to him)
