If it doesn't do it day one then it wont do it week 1, because it will sell everything available on day one. So it is about supply.

I don't understand people saying 3 days or 5 days.

Its day 1 or a few weeks imo, as this is how long it will take supply to pick back up.


How steep of a drop could you possibly be expecting the 2nd week to hit?

 

Lets say that the X1 breaks 800k 1st week,  do you really think that the 2nd week will be less than 200k?


why not.  what if supply is only 800k and they simply cant supply 200k week two?  dont people remember the last launch where you simply couldnt buy a console for periods of days.

Indeed. I already have word neither PS4 or X1 will have steady stock till late February / March next year


Do you know how far apart shipments are?

No info on that sorry

When 360 launched, its 1st week was like 350k and 95k the following week, so that 2nd week was like 27% of its launch week sales

 

So if X1 does 800k, it will only need 200k to break 1 mill. 200k is only 25% of 800k

 

I think they should be able to supply 25% of the X1s launch week in its 2nd week.

 

Supply cant possibly be THAT damn limited and strict, can it?

 

Hmm..

 

I was expecting for both consoles to maybe fall to like 350-400k due to limited supply but i guess it really is a struggle to get these consoles out to the retailers

from what I've heard, individual stores have had bigger PS4 stock than xbox one's.
If that is legit, there just probably isn't enough to sell 1 mil in a day.

Were I live sores sold out before the afternoon some sold everything from preorders so there wasn't any point in going. The kicker is through the import process they have been selling ps4's for 700. They just got more today and they are gone again,

I'm seeing equal inquires to xbox 1 interest. If I want one I'll probably have to drop 800 on it...........which I am very tempted to do.

if supply is there it should be able to do it within VGC 1st week of data if not then 2 weeks max

remember guys alot of these are bought to be resold for profit

I think the xbox one can sell 1 mill in the first week, especially in the US.

launch+blackfriday+christmas + stockpiling pre launch, it will be bad

Huh? If they do 1m they will definitely annoucne it.... thats 25% more revenue than the PS4 will have managed.  It will be the biggest launch ever.  Even if they sell 800k its the biggest launch ever from a sales revenue perspective.

1m at $100 more would be a pretty incredible achievement, lets be honest about this.

800k x $499 = 1m x $399.

In terms os sales revenue the PS4 will be ahead because sold more games.

And yeap... 1m will be incredible.


You also believe PS4 will have a better attatch rate I see.

Mountains of crow is coming to the anti X1 people. Next week will be fun.

Lol...The PS4 already had more preorders.
