Not gonna lie 13 countries for the xbone vs only 1 for sony (cant wait for the european sells next week), and they still barely sold more consoles than sony wow. Even more surprising that as the stronghold for ms that sony outperformed them in the usa launch vs launch didn't see that one coming.


Well technically 2 countries for Sony. Canada and US.  :)


Tecnically it's 3 countries: Canada, US and Puerto Rico, but yeah, a very small country than no one know about.

Puerto Rico's part of the United States, so it would still be 2.


I know, that's why i said tecnically, but since Puerto Rico isn't a state yet, what i said it still true.

It's technically a commonwealth of  the United States, so it's still 2.

ok, my point was to mention how many country received the console, no point in arguing about stupid things like this.

one console sold more then the other in the launch window doesn't mean anything really
i thought we had establised this previous gen 7 YEARS AGO

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Because Sony only shipped in NA first week.  If MS strictly shipped in only NA instead of 13 countries they would have sold the same amount.

You can't be so deluded.  Seriously.  Is it possible to be so blinded by one's allegiences? Just, wow.

No I understand it quite well

They would not have sold out all consoles at launch if they only sold it in NA like Sony did. I know for fact that you could walk in Gamestops in both Dallas and Pitt and get and Xbox One without a preorder. I also know Best Buys in Philly area were still selling Xbox One after the first 24 hours.

So adding 4-500 K into the NA launch would mean no sold out since they really didn't do so to begin with

There were places in Australia, in 2006, where you could walk into a game store a few days after the Wii launch and still find Wiis... they were, in most places in the country, sold out very quickly, but there were some places where they were still available.

In other words, a couple of data points does not make information. You know of certain stores that were still selling units after 24 hours... what about the rest of them?

What you have committed is called "confirmation bias" - you observe a couple of stores with some stock left, and ignore all the stores with none left, because doing so allows you to say "there are stores with stock left over", which supports your preconceived idea.

I want to know how he can confirm both Dallas and Pitt.  Did you walk over to stores in both cities? They are a bit far apart arent they?

2 clan members. Skype with them weekly. College dorm mates

Also you don't need me to tell you this. Kotaku, Ign, and a bunch of other sites had up that you could walk in and buy Xbox Ones at launch. 

So point still stands that if they had 500 k more for NA launch, they wouldn't have sold out at launch

No they wouldn't have


So there would have been 400,000 Xbox Ones on the shelf? Yes they would have sold out of every single Xbox One which was the same amount as PS4s shipped. Looks to be Xbox One is going to dominate in NA black friday sales as well.

Microsoft shipped over a million consoles launch day. Are you saying that there would be 400,000 Xbox Ones sitting on the shelf right now in NA? No every single one would have sold out which would have matched PS4 NA sales. The only one deluded is you.

Again, if you could get an Xbox One without a preorder at launch, then your saying 400,000 MORE people would have done so as well.

No

No

Your deluded if you think that people could just walk in and pick up an Xbox One. I have been looking for another 1 for a gift since and havent seen one offered at regular retail price.  You also seem to think that only people that pre-ordered a PS4 got one on launch day.  Both Sony and MS shipped units to retailers to sell without pre-ordering. Otherwise why even bother with launch events and marketing.
