Xbox beasting in America as always, PS4 EU numbers are insane, but considering Xbox hasn't released in most parts of EU yet its too early to call it a Massacre, Wii U has heart, solid numbers, 3ds is Nintendo's pot of Gold, Vita :(..., .all in all looking pretty good gaming this holiday season :)

If you honestly believe that the countries the xbox one has not been released in Europe is going to make any significant improvement to its sales then fair enough. All I can say is the the countries in Europe that xbone is currently available makes up 90 percent or more of the Euro market.

Therefore I pretty much call it a massacre.

Yea, I'm sure MS looked at the countries they saw the most demand with the 360 when deciding where to launch the Xbox One.  So you're right, those few countries it does come to won't make much of a difference.

But didnt the X1 only release in 13 countries while PS4 like 30 something, Major Markets may be covered, but that is still a huge market disparity between the two, so yea it's too early to call it a Massacre, PS4 will no doubt have a huge lead in EU this gen though



Not only that, but the 360 and PS3 are pretty much neck and neck with the same type of trends. So there i no massacre as this is the norm.



3DS being down this year is probably due to Nintendo. Last year the focus was on 3DS and just launch numbers for Wii U. While this year the focus is on Wii U. I see no ads for 3DS, because it really does not need it. However with tons of ads, it would probably be up YoY.

The massacre between PS3 and 360 happened throughout the entire year with the yearly gap now at 2.6 million and will likely finish around 2.7 or 2.8 million as a final 2013 tally. The yearly gap has never been so high for PS3.

The X360 also had a head start. History shows that to look at sales trends in this industry is a false economy.

Did the PS3 follow up the trend of the PS2? Did the x360 follow the trend of the xbox or wii u the GameCube? No.

So what makes anyone thinks the Wii u, PS4 and Xbone will follow the trends of the last generation. There is no norm in this industry.

To say something is going to happen this gen because it happened last gen is rather.. you know..

Have you looked at the EU totals for both?  When all is said and done, the PS3 is going to have a 9M-10M gap on the 360.  And this is from a console that launched 1 1/2 years after the 360, for a MUCH higher price.  The gap is going to be even bigger this gen, since the PS4 has more demand, lower price, and launched only a week later than the One.  It's probably going to end up more like a 15M-18M gap, and that's only from one major region.



The gap is already 1M in only one month ! What will it be in 10months with Japan ?!!

 

 

PS4 make doubles X1 sales when they have supply, and this is without Japan, if this is not a massacre, i dont know how to call it.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

Wow 3ds 1mil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And super mario 3D world still in top 10 =D



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Yeah, everyone who bought a PS4 should at least bought 1 game (600k = 600k softwares)
