It did OK,. but the competition is doing a lot better... it's going to get worse in europe for MS. Their only hope is to try to salvage the US. Also, nothing in your post is fact, pure peculation, considering there is a LOT of stock left in stores for x1

Most people forget to take into account that the Xbox One cost more..... and is probably profitable compare to the PS4. IF the Xbox One can get sales any where close to the PS4 and keep up to PS4 they are the winner. I think Xbox One will have less early adopter because of un-certainty. I'm waiting for the system to prove itselft before I fork over any $$$.

It doesn't work that way at all. Kinect drives the cost of the system up, then you have marketing R&D.........costing more does not mean more profit ask Sony with PS3...

Now that them anti-consumer stuff got 180'ed, there's no reason to want the XB1 to fail, unless you're into that console war nonsense. Any real gamer would want all systems to do well, XB1 included, so let us hope the system has the best first week ever!

Oops my bad, I meant cost more to customer $500 compared to $400..... I actually think that the Xbox one is provitable while the PS4 is sold at a minor lost.

If XB1 sold 1 million in 24 Hours, out of which UK : 150 K, then most likely
US : 600-700 K
UK : 150 K
Rest : 150 K -250 K

additional sales increase, I believe will be proportional. Say, if the total sales for the first week 1.2-1.3 million, then the numbers should increase also by 20% - 30%, putting them at,

US : 720 K - 910 K
UK : 180 K - 195 K
Rest : 180 K - 325 K

1.-The problem is that probably Xbox One suffered the same problem of PS4, being sold out in its first day, so i don't think Xbox One sold much more after the announcement by Microsoft.

2.-Game preorders were not that similar to ps4's... they were around 30-40% lower.

3.-This doesn't mean much, because both have more units than 1 million manufactured at launch and all of them were made months ago. The ps4 and xbox one that are going to be sold in the first week have been stored somewhere months ago. What i'm trying to say, is, a week is not enough to be an adavantage in production.

4.That's true, and i'm willing to accept that maybe they sold 1'1 million, even 1'2...(but i don't think so), but 1'5 is too much.

But, if it's more than 1 million exactly, just take the calculation that NA seems to be around 60-65% of the the launch sales....

Not sure about the title of this thread. "You all will be disappointed...". Apparently even those of us who hope the Xbox One does well :P

I agree. OP should list the names of the suspects. That way, when they are proven wrong, we can personally humiliate them. Preferrably, the humilation would occur in front of family and loved ones. If the humilation is effective, then the family would be so ashamed that they would immediately disown the suspects in question. If all works as planned, then the suspects would fall into a deep depression and suicide on YouTube.

I disagree I'm tired of a three consoles war, I actually don't support all three consoles because I simply don't have the time. I can't wait for next gen were cloud gaming will make console obsolete and the focus will only be on the games.
