I see nothing wrong with 900k for us but I think the we number may becalittle low.

900k for the 1st 7 days? Kinda low, especially for NA.

It look like both consoles sold very well lol are people who thing consoles will be dead because of Tablet and smartphone.

People only said that about handhelds and, well Vita. Alos 3DS is selling very well but it is well behind 3DS. So the over all handheld console market will shrink dramatically, partly due to smartphones and tablets. Wii U was a bit written off because the tablet controller was nothing particularly new or exciting because tablets had been around a while, and the tablet controller hasn't given Wii U much of a sales edge.

Also launch week sales and even these holiday sales aren't a good indicator of long term sales potential. Many analysts are pickin 7th gen to be the highest selling gen, with 8th gen coming up short and starting a long term decline in the console hardware market. I agree. So this decline, if analysts and I are right, will be partly down to tablets and smartphones.

Vgchartz in their article is saying "Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS4) sales are expected to drop to around 150,000 units in its second week on sale."

Excuse me I'm not english but they mean :

1) COD will be doing "Week 1" sales minor 150k

2) COD will only do 150 next week.

I'm thinking about 1) but I'm asking for a confirmation. Thank you.

I read a analys that say ps4 and xboxone will be the last generation of console,one generation isn't enougth to say handheld will be dead,xbox360 sold well despite the first one fail ,Nintendo make gamecube and fail but wii sold well,this generation handheld market shrink but i don't think the next will shrink again.

 



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

i find 1.06 million to be a little hard to believe when they sold OVER 1 million in just 24hrs.
1.06 million seems like it could be the over 1 million in the 24hr period. seems like 1.2 million would be closer to what it sold over the weekend.

The 1m figure is for NA. Canada is about 10% of the US so 1.06m in the US should be about 1.17m in NA.

nah. they sold 1 million in 24 hrs. so since its now been on the market for 6 days, we can expect about a million more per day, or just a bit less. so about 5 million consoles in the US alone. seems about right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

jk.

oh, ok.

yeah 1.17 million would seem pretty much spot on.

Drop TO 150k means total sales are 150k. That's the case here.

Drop BY 150k would mean you have to substract 150k (e.g. 700k - 150k = 550k)
