So it was released a week later, is $100 more expensive and had a storm of Black PR spread all over the internet by sonygaf and their army of sockpuppets. Yet it has basically caught up to the ps4 already, very impressive.

O_o

It was released a week earlier in all but 2 countries. And PS4 got to 2 million on 30 Dec, only 9 days after Xb one release. So to get close to PS4's sales it means PS4 would have to have sold almost zero units over the following 9 day period. Let's see how many units PS4 has sold in those 9 days before we go claiming Xb one has closed any sales gaps.

Achievement unlocked nonetheless.

Both will be sitting just over 2 million virtually identical.

PS4 sales are falling off a cliff once Sony fans get their pre-order filled . Knack and Killzone are not selling the ps4 for Sony, surprise, surprise. No notable exclusive until March next year with Infamous with no guarantee it will actually be good. Word about the hardware failure epidemic went viral despite Sony's best effort to sweep it under the carpet. The PS4's main gimmicks, the 'share button' has fallen flat and no one is interested and completely failed at capturing the public imagination. The biggest driver for the ps4 was mindless hype but after day 1 purchases it evaporates.

Well you put they will both be at 2m, but PS4 is already at close to 2.5m so thats already wrong. Then you go on a rant that PS4 sales have falling of a cliff, so you must think XO will pass PS4 very soon, i just wanted to know when you see that happening.

Congrats Microsoft!

Everything points to them having sold everything they have produced during the last few weeks (I know you could find stock in some stores, but those were the exceptions and not the majority). I expected both companies to sell their first million, regardless of price / PR / reviews / issues, to people who would have bought them no matter what. So having sold 2 million is a great achievement.

I am curious if either company is holding back stock for Christmas sales, or for launches in other countries? I know the PS4 is launching in Asia in December. Has Microsoft announced their 2014 launch plans?

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


PS4 sales are restricted by stock so its not a good comparison.

Sources? 

I know that specifically the "Share" button has been a huge success.  

10% of nearly all the content on Twitch since the PS4′s initial launch under a month ago has come from PS4 users- we are talking 800,000 broadcasts and 7.1 million spectate sessions across Twitch and uStream, totaling to more than 20 million minutes of recorded gameplay.

The top games broadcast are the usual suspects (hint: they’re all shooters)- Killzone Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts.

In addition to all the streaming and broadcasting, the Share button has been pressed a staggering 10.9 million times already.
