Forums - Sales - Global Hardware Numbers Are Up!!! 14 December 2013

JoeTheBro on 27 December 2013

Super happy to finally be seeing some numbers. Assuming they are close enough, they tell us a lot.

In Europe the XBONE has flat-lined at around 70k. Certainly isn't a result of supply issues, so that's going to be because of a lack of demand. Comparing the XBONE's launch to the Wii U's in Europe, they appear to be neck and neck with each other. Most likely come January the XBONE's numbers will drop to 10k weekly

In America things are much better. I was worried the XBONE's weekly sales would drop for a 4rth consecutive week (which would be a very very bad sign) but that doesn't look to be the case. It jumped back up this week. Also means it's hard to judge demand in the states. I am worried though it is over tracked here, just because every system was tracked with a similar week on week bump in the states.

Everything else is pretty boring right now.

He was right about the PS4 release date, right about COD being 720p on XBO, right about the PS4 launch lineup, give me some examples of him being wrong. 

This was in the same thread where he stated Vita US was over 2 million. Most people's general reactions to him where that his numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.

All the stores in Belgium and France have told me that the big shipment (PS4) coming from mid-January. I think it will be the same everywhere.

Didn't Sony sell around a half million PS4's in Asia?

That was a number put forward by a gaf poster (I think it was thuway who is more or less a troll posing as an insider). There is no way Sony could have shipped 500k units to Asia. This would be a 2 week ww supply, so Sony would have shipped zero units into the world for two weeks. Obviously wrong, I'd guess the asian launch was about 150k, 200k tops, units.

It was FamousMortimer, one of the most reputable leakers on NeoGaf. He's been right about nearly everything he's predicted lately. 


nah.

Mirror's Edge 2 being Xbone exculsive, MS moneyhatting devs not to show PS4 versions of games at E3, if you want to read more; straight from the horse's mouth

He's only human, he gets things wrong, things get misunderstood. If his leaks are correct then great, but don't treat them as fact until we get offical evidence.

And he was wrong again with the OS craches and Snap being broken.

But they still can´t take the plunge about the yeilding issues.

Calling it now: NPD will show yet again that WiiU+3DS are being overtracked in the US.
Everything else is still a mystery


why? WiiU was pretty much spot on in november and 3ds numbers are down by a lot yoy (if I remember correctly).

 

Wii U is sightly over tracked It sold 107000 units in Usa by mediacreate 




superhippy420 on 27 December 2013

Solid numbers for Nintendo. The 3DS is following the GBA trajectory it looks like. Its still going to be a huge success (80+m) in the end but not really close to its predecessor.



Conegamer on 27 December 2013

Well this thread escalated quickly...

PS4 under, but not by a lot.
3DS over by a similar margin
Wii U looks about right

Vita? Maybe over in the EU but it looks about right to me.

Overall a good week for everyone, and surely we won't know anything certain for a while. So why all the hate?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

First adjustments : PS4 312k > 331k

You guys should really wait for real sales before talk about numbers , after all the adjustments, there will be many surprises and many fail



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

he is wrong a lot. looks like other people beat me to it.


You should be more worried where MS stuffed the channels somewhere. Selling 2 million by dec. 7 means there are still atleast unaccounted 300K Xbox Ones lying somewhere in the pacific rim.
