1mil in 20 hours
Is there really people saying 4 - 5 weeks and being serious? Mate the bias in here is completely crazy.
It will do it in 24 hours IF the supply is right!
I do not know about the states, in Australia the only console that get's any advertising right now is Xbox it is all over buses, billboards, TV, internet and even radio.
I am sure that many many people will be out looking for an xbox one this weekend!! Achievement points DO NOT die easily lol
3 days provided they have this amount of unit to sell just in US...
If there are 1 million units produced, it will sell through it all in the first 24 hours. If you think otherwise then that just proves you're completely biased.
So is noone in this thread thinking about Black Friday? The day that MS and Sony are stocking up for...where both of them will have close to a million on the shelves for the people who didn't pre-order? In Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Gamestop, Kmart, and any other store that sells electronics..do the math.
Oh my gawd these predictions are really depressing. I haven't followed sales here in months cos of the fucked up ads making the site unusable so I'm kinda shocked... PS4 selling 1m in the US in 24 hours and people are expecting it to take up to a month for the Xbone to do the same IN THE US?! Microsofts core market?! Ouch :(
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Ahem! *points at bolded sentence* History shows that, in America at least, just because one brand dominated a generation doesn't mean that it has some built-in advantage going into the next. Circa 1995 you would have said "Currently, Nintendo is a bigger brand." In 2005, you would have said "PlayStation is a bigger brand." In either case, it didn't matter, because Americans collectively have no brand loyalty in the long term. That the 360 dominated the last 3-4 years in America and is on the verge of passing the Wii means nothing in regards to this new generation, because in America we hit the "Reset" button whenever a new generation starts. I really don't know how to make that any clearer. And I mentioned Europe and Japan because I felt like it, and because I thought it'd be an interesting comparison to make. |
ok, lets trace this comment back to the original source, shall we? because you are argueing something that has nothing to do with what I responded to.
The first comment was this
"MS will have far more demand from non pre order customers though, more advertising, xbox is a bigger brand name, and more popular with casuals."
This comment wasn't even mine, but you repsonded to it with the question
"bigger than who?"
I then responded with in america that would be playstation in the US
Notice how I didn't say it was bigger than nintendo? Now you are arguing about how none of that matters, and you can make that argument but I was never argueing against that. I was just responding to your initial question of which is the bigger brand. Right now, in the US, that would be Nintendo as number 1, followed by xbox, followed by playstation. As far as the last generation is concerned. That will change shortly with Microsoft taking the top spot.

trace the comment back to its source. He asked who xbox brand was bigger than, I responded with playstation because it currently is. I'm not talking about next gen or long term sales, merely answering his question, he just tried to change the subject to something else...
It might do it this week if theres enough supply
