So, less than 1mi confirmed for EU first day?

I bet it would be close to 700k, may be I was right.

I don't think you understand what the word "confirmed" means. This whole thread is just about the UK anyway.

Why? Germany would have easily matched the UK alone and France will have probebly nearly matched it. Then you have the rest of Europe and Australia. I'd say nearer 1.3 - 1.5 million.

And whay Sony is still quiet yet?

I didn´t heard much of Deutschland but I read reports at NeoGaf that supply in France, Italy and Spain was very low, and you know the infamous situation in Brazil. I saw with my eyes a pile of 10 XOnes and other with 5 WiiU in a store where they have only one PS4 in a glass case.

I think Sony can easily reach their forecast of more than 3 million PS4 shipped by the end of the year. I bet the shipment will be more than 4 millions.

Even Wii U can be shipped more than 3 million units back to 2012.

For X1, I think the shipment might be less than Wii U as they had yield issues.

"This means that the current-gen trio (which until recently referred to as ‘next-gen’) already enjoys an install base of around 600k units in the UK. Both PS4 and Xbox have already comfortably outsold Nintendo’s Wii U, which was released in the UK over a year ago."

Wii U possibly overtracked in the UK?

Without trying to sound malacious.. I feel that VGChartz numbers fail time and again. If you really want to know the numbers, this is not the best place to find them.

I like the discussion, forums and other functionality on the website and its really great. But for numbers i have stopped checking them for so long, there are other places where u can find more accurate numbers and based on that make much better estimations and predictions.

As it should be.

Reported!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
