Yeah, but nothing this week? |
The Xbox just launched, so next week would be its first real week. Or were you specifically talking only about Fri and Sat sales?

Like I said earlier, two weeks are not enough to make all the Europe stock... Most of the PS4s have probably already been shipped to Europe. "probably" WW? It's dead certain. |
i wasnt saying they used every console just for na and are now rushing to make more for everywhere else
but sony was able to send more units to the us since they have the extra week or two so for example for every 1 console outside the us 2 go to the us

What Penello is trying to say is that both Sony and Microsoft had 1 million units availale to sell at launch, but while Sony decided to sell all their units in NA, they decided to sell though 13 countries, becoming in some way, a tie with Sony. That's false, Sony must have a lot more units available than Microsoft. What Sony is doing, is to produce the maximum number of units for Europe to have the best possible Europe launch ever, so, they delayed the launch in Europe for that objective. I'm sure that if Sony decided to make a WW launch on 15 November, the total units of ps4 sold would be around 2 million minimum.

Come on, that's hardly comparable. Not only are we seeing launch sales a LOT bigger than WiiU's, but we're also seeing systems with guaranteed huge game support next year. |
It's not comparable because it hasn't happened yet. There have never been consoles available at launch in these numbers. In the past, it took months for everyone that was DYING to get one at launch to be satiated. But this time is different. The numbers WERE there. So that leaves a greater opportunity for a huge drop off not unlike when a huge title is first released such as GTA, Halo and CoD.
Listen, I WANT the console gaming industry to be healthy, to continue to grow and silence those that are calling this The Final Generation. My aspirations are greater than petty console wars and, in all honesty, I'd imagine so are those at the tops of these corporations. Look at the financials. Microsoft, MICROSOFT, is doing the best financially in this industry right now and vocal stockholders are still calling for the division to be sold off.
This launch is good so far. REALLY good. But if we're honest with ourselves, we know it's not enough. It's the KC Chiefs (MY team) going 9-0 but knowing that they haven't WON anything until the next 7 games are played (which now they've lost one of those), playoff games won and the Super Bowl is finally played with them as the victor. Fight as we may, this industry NEEDS the PS4 AND XB1 to do well.
Oh, and the Wii U too ...

Yea, I would think he would have said numbers are very close if the One sold ~900K. So, I'm guessing ~600K-750K in NA. Those are great numbers, but not when compared to the competition, which still has 2.3M preorders to fulfil from Gamestop alone. If Sony can manage to get at least half of those out before the end of the year, the gap is going to be quite large. And this is in MS's best region.
Lmao, am I the only one who finds it funny that some people actually thought it was going to take 4 or 5 weeks for the Xbox One to sell a million consoles? Ha it did it in one day.

If they only launched in NA they would have sold 1 million in 24 hours no problem.
