I'm so damn curious to see what those Japanese PS4 numbers are going to look like

They also anticipate a large waiting list for Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)’s Xbox One, suggesting a prolonged industry sales slump is ending. Sony said on Nov. 17 it sold more than 1 million PlayStation 4 consoles in the U.S. and Canada within 24 hours of the $399 machine going on sale. The figure included some of the 1 million units Tokyo-based Sony presold on a global basis, said Dan Race, a PlayStation spokesman. Microsoft’s $499 Xbox One goes on sale tomorrow in 13 countries and also is expected to be in high demand after a seven-year drought on new home consoles from the two companies. Nintendo Co. (7974)’s Wii U is entering its second year of sales. GameStop fell 6.5 percent to $49.04 at 11:50 a.m. in New York after dropping as much as 11 percent, the biggest intraday decline since May. The company forecast fourth-quarter profit of $1.97 to $2.14 a share, less than the $2.16 average of 20 analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The retailer, which accounts for more than half of Sony and Microsoft’s video-game software sales, will benefit from the console transition based on its ability to lure gamers who trade in older titles and hardware for discounts on new gear, said Colin Sebastian, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. in San Francisco. He recommends buying the stock.

The Xbox One will be in demand. What a shock.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

lmao indeed.
| Soundwave said: No offense but Sony fanboys are dreaming if they think the PS2 era is coming back (I have picked the PS4 to win worldwide though). XBox is a much stronger competitor today than it was 10 years ago, they are the defacto "hardcore" gaming brand in the US and have the best marketing (sorry, Sony, take a seat) machine behind them. |
last gen xbox was cheaper, came out first, had the better third party versions of most games and still couldnt beat the ps3.
this gen its more expensive, third party games are better on ps4, its coming out at the same time.
how do you expect them to stand a chance?
PS4's doing 100m guaranteed, the question is is xbox one even beating the 360? I think not.
their only hope is to ditch kinect and undercut the ps4, even then I doubt they would get 100m.
On Amazon UK, the PS4 is still 3rd best seller despite orders now coming after Christmas
Sony has got a great deal of demand, they better not screw it up now!

Stop? Can you explain better? I quoted the subject of the thread title... if you want to quote the MS part just create a new thread.
ps4 is the console of choice this gen
...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...
PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk
really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Well that era might not ever be able to be matched again.
The PS4 would also need to "BOOM" in Japan for it to even be comparable
If only a new Dragon Quest made by Level-5 could be brought to the PS4 in Japan...

MS is going to sell a minimum of 60 million consoles this gen ... that is a significant minimum portion of the market.
Fact is they have the best marketing team in the business, they have the highest brand appeal in the US, they are very smart in tying their brand to the NFL (Sony may attract more "nerd" gamers, but they are outnumbered by the "jocks" in the US) and simply put they make more money as a company in 3 months than Sony has in 10+ years.
The battle in the West will be more like the SNES vs. the Genesis, this is not going to be a cakewalk for Sony, MS will make them sweat and if they decide to start opening their wallet, possibly bleed too. It's going to be a very competetive generation ... which is just fine IMO ... that's good for consumers.
