Forums - Gaming - December console sales prediction....Virtual Tie.

I have been holding off on making a prediction about worldwide console sales for December but here is my honest guess.  I think all 3 consoles are going to be within 200k units of eachother.  PS4 has had alot of shortages at first but it seems due to Amazon having them in stock all day, and ebay retail prices falling in the last 3 - 4 days that the initial launch demand has been fufilled.  Xbox One had shortages for about a week and now they are readily available almost everywhere, but that should bode well since PS4's have been harder to find.  From the looks of it, the Wii U Mario bundles were the smartest thing that Nintendo has done in a while.  Alot of stores by me were sold out, Gamestop has had it in their top 12 sellers for a solid 10 days now, and they are even marked up 25 - 40 bucks on ebay, not to mention that the best new game out on any home console (SM3DW) appeals to a wide audience, expecially during the holiday season.  So my final numbers are going to look something like this for December.  I'm sure that I will be off on the totals but I am really expected the number of consoles sold to be a virtual tie. 

 

PS4 - 1.1 m.

Xbone - 900 k.

Wii U - 900 k.

Your 4BONE predictions are insanely low.

Maybe but considering that they said they can produce about 300k per week and they are in stock on almost every website and in every store, I just dont see how they are going to be any higher then 1.2 million max.

For both consoles they started production a few months ago. Lots of those units went to launch, but they also reserve a lot for December. Also in Sony's case they are shipping units by air that originally would have been for January.

 

For reference the Wii U sold 1.8 million in Dec.



PS4 will win... it is already the best selling consoles at Amazon in 2013 (3DS included).

The issue for me are these Wii U numbers... I can't see they happening.

BTW PS4 and Xbone will be supply constrained... so my numbers:

PS4: 1.5 million
Xbone: 800k
Wii U: 600k
