No matter what people say Xbox One actually did well then PS4. Despite having bad reputation, higher price and launching is less countries its quite close to PS4. Well done microsoft.


Xbone is doing great, it's just that you're not seeing the full effect of what the PS4 can do, since it's constantly outsold everywhere!


How can I see ps4 is doing "that great" if its not sold 4 or 5 times than competition? Fans exaggerate their preferred systems. Plus microsoft isnt loosing any cash in each Xbox One.

How can the PS4 sell 5 times more than the competition? They can't produce 5 million units per month!!? And why should Microsoft lose money?

Apple's iPhone is much more succesful than Samsung's Galaxy. They both make money, but the iPhone is seen as the winner, regardless of what Samsung sells/earns in profits.


If ps4 is selling at "full effect" then please give me the ps4 sold number and xbox one sold number comparison? It seems that full effect is ahead but not that ahead. Again I will say microsoft did a good job.

Which numbers do you want me to provide? All we have so far is, 2,1 million PS4's sold during the first 10 days and 2 million Xbox One's sold in 18 days. Nothing more! You can see the PS4 is sold out everywhere.

You know people can't buy an item that's sold out, right? And again i will join you in saying Microsoft did a great job.

Um PS4 started selling on November 15th and exceeded 2 million on November 29th. That is 14 days.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

This numbers are considering some units sold this week (the 3rd one), the 200k number is for 4 days, not 9..., Vgchartz shows 1'5 after 2 weeks, if Xbox One sold 2 million in 2'5 weeks, i'm assuming the half of the 3rd week is around 200-300k, leaving 1'7-1'8 million for the first 2 weeks. Xbox one could end the 3rd week with 2'2 million units...

Can you explaing please...

The number from MS are for 3rd week + 2 days.


Sorry, I edited too late, i wrote this after...

"Edit: I'm considering we are at the 3rd week at the moment (1st 22 nov-28 nov, 2nd 29 nov-5 dec, 3rd 6 dec-13 dec), and it didn't finished yet."

LOL

UK is by far and large a big proportion of Europe sales, it did 150k first week, 20k following week. How you expect 200k for week 2 is a joke, and 150k week the following is even more laughable. Canada/Mexico/Brazil don't add anything meaningful either, they're probably 100k combined for the total amount.

It is all the 11 countries together... not only UK.

NPD is tomorrow... if you are right Xbone needs to sell over 1 million in November.

I think my mistake can be the first week vs the second week in others... the first week have already know: 150k (UK) + 66k (AUS) + 25k (ES)... so already 200k without Germany, France, Italy, Canada, etc.

So you can use 450k for Week 1 and 150k for Week 2... or even 500k for Week 1.

On topic, it seems Xbox One is undertracked in vgchartz at least 300k, It should be around 1'8 mill at the end of the 2nd week.

Me and Pachter will be wrong with USA sales, it seems Xbox One must have sold the same units as PS4 in USA, around 1'2-1'3 million at the end of November, and around 400-500k in BF.

Sony seems to have dropped the ball in USA with the lack of stock there (It seems it's Sony the one with production problems). Maybe they're reserving for christmas in USA, or maybe they want to support Europe more.

It looks like USA will be neck and neck between PS4 and Xbox One, and Europe will be the differentiator. I think Sony is tryng to equal the US numbers with European ones. And Microsoft seems to focusing the stock availabe in USA to be ahead of PS4 at the end of the year.

If it was 1.8m at the end of the 2nd weeks then it have just 200k units to be sold in the next 9 days... these 9 days have the third big shipment for both consoles that happened last week... so 200k for these 9 days is out of question... it is way more.

You're grossly over predicting Sunday and Monday sales. Fact of the matter is it didn't sell more the week ending 7th than it did Black Friday week. Give it up Ethomaz you clearly have no clue when it comes to discussing XB1 sales.


It actually looks like ethimaz is pretty accurate if it was 1.8 mil afree 9 days then it had to have sold just 200k the next 9 days which is obviously not correct vgchartz numbers to me look accurate

well, you didn't expect it, so why should I?

10 week countdown:

Those are a laugh, ethomaz continually calling OVERTRACKED based on .... nothing. What did he even use to get to those numbers

not to insert myself into someone else's war but if you think VGCz current numbers line up with this MS statement then you'll be disappointed to know VGCz adjusted xbone's launch week numbers down in USA by ~100k this week.  down as in originally overtracked...

so either the VGCz numbers are currently undertracked or ethomaz was right and VGZ was overtracking on launch week.

What was your agenda in making this comment? You thought i'm going to discredit everything somini said, right? lol

Look up the date of the tweet about PS4's sales and compare that to the PS4's release date and you'll see it wasn't 17 days.

Puggsly replied to me and we both know that's what he was talking about, i'm sorry you're having a hard time understanding the joke.

Why would i be baiting Kowen into anything and what use would it have? The dude does and says everything and gets away with it, as he's rarely banned/warned for it. So don't get all emotional, we're just having a discussion here.


Yes. I wanted to discredit everything you said because you were irritating me.

Though I do appologise. It wasnt 17 days, it was actually 18. Andrew House announced on the 3rd of December that the PS4 had done 2.1 Million units. The PS4 released on the 15th of November. 18 full days later and Sony say 2.1 Million. A far cry from the 10 days you said, as after 10 days the console wasnt even out in Europe...

And kow never gets banned or warned? Hahahahahahaha! Good one

Seriously though. Stop trying to bait him. It makes you look silly.

US has always been 50% of Xbox 360 sales WW, that's with them being in 40+ countries not 13, not to mention they obviously pushed stock to the US for Black friday, OR they're simply not that hot in Europe after week one. Like I said the week 2 UK figure is very telling, it did 20k. How do you expect it to better in France, Germany ect than the UK????? I have a very hard time believeing total non US sales are well above 500k.
