Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One not hitting delayed regions until Q3 2014?

Dark_Feanor on 10 December 2013

Considering how well Sony is supplying the periferal countries (yes, this is a irony) there is not to be fear.

However, a Q3 is realy weird, damand in NA and EU won´t be that high for the first 2Q, no much more than 500K a month. They can produce a lot more than that as this hollyday supply has proved.

And just let me get back at some of our previous rumors.

Rumor 1 - Party Chat is broken and will take months to fixed.
Reality: Party Chat is just not as intuitive to use as in the 360.

Rumor 2 - Interface is sluggshed with terrible performance.
Reality: Interface works just as advertised, only with some dificulty to understand a few commands in few situations.

Rumor 3 - Yelds Issues, Xone will have a severely shortage for months.
Reality: The only console that appers to have shotage is the PS4, and with sales not as espetacular as some belived.

damn if true. waiting that long is basically like waiving the white flag and saying i give up.

It may be that until now, Sony and Microsoft have shipped similar numbers (even with this it seems Sony even shipped more), but while Microsoft doesn't have anything more available, Sony seems to have reserved a lot to other countries.

I think by March everything will be more clear and nobody will discuss that Sony just produced a lot more.

what??? like production will be an issue in q2 &3... production in 2014 is not the issue... march april may or sept octobre or novembre is the best spots with sept oct nov being the best.... either titanfall launch or halo or other next year big title for the holiday season makes complete sense

Production is a issue for MS since release... that is the reason for them delayed in some countries... that is the reason for them not launch in these countries in Jan-Mar for example.

While in the other planet they are launch for every single country before March 2014.


For how long will you belive in that stupid rumor?

The produtions issues would be reflected in the hollyday months. And for everything we are seing Microsoft will easily ship as much XOne as Sony will ship PS4s.

The first months of 2014 will have a very big slowdown in salles across the board. No more than 500K Xone will be sold each month. This is more than 3x less the current pace.

Why would MS have problems to supply countries with less than 20% the WW market? Less than 100K which is 1/20 of Xbox sales this hollyday?

Rumor 1: Party Chat give you a lot of performance issues and crash games/apps... it is really a bad implementation right now... MS already stated they are working on it... new rumors? MS is creating a new Party Chat feature to be released in mid 2014 that will be a separted app to not conflict with any other app or OS... I ask you why they disabled the Cross Game Party Chat? You will get your answer.

Rumor 2: It is... if you contant use the features like Party Chat.

Rumor 3: Yields issues with delay after dealy and way low shipment compared with PS4.

For now it a 3x0.

Can you show me more stories about Xbone shipping the same than PS4 lol... right now the difference is close to 1 million more in PS4 favor

Just because PS4 have wat more demand didn't means Xbone shipped the same amount of units... it is way lower.

They need everything they have to battle PS4 in the USA and UK especially as long as the PS4 has hardcore supply issues WORLDWIDE.
If they lose more in those territories they won't even stand the low chance they have right now.

That's a long time. I can see that they want to release it right before christmas kicks in, but it will give Sony a serious footing.

The demand for a next gen isn't the same in all countries...

They use that stock instead to countries where next gen is really a demand, there are many countries in Europe who still buys last gen consoles. No more than 500k? How'd you know? I could pull some numbers out of my butt too and say that they will sell 1 million a month.
