Forums - Sales - Hardware Up 21st Dec... PS4 Doubles Xbone Sales

I can't believe how good 360 still sells... It outsold PS3 this week which had so many exclusives while 360 had close to none. 3rd best selling system this week, this thing is still a box of wonders.

Yeah, it has outsold PS3 for two or three weeks this year. I guess that's something

It actually is given the lack of unique games (according to forum-opinions) and given it's the oldest system of the last gen.

PS4 extremely overtracked on this site.

Just a piece of advice. Avoid this, as it is against the forum's rules. You have to at least back up your claim.

 

OT: Not surprised by this. Can't wait for official numbers, though even then ps4 numbers will be very close to sold (since they sell almost every consol they ship), while xbone numbers will be more difficult to interpret considering that shortages are not that much of an issue based on various reports we've seen (I also noticed that myself by going to my local hmv; they had a sign saying "Xbox ONe in stock now!", while ps4 was out of stock).

Loving the apologists squirming and the ninty fans pretending the wiiu doesn't exist and that the 3ds+2ds are home consoles.

Ps4 owned holiday sales, and will continue to throughout 2014, looking forward to future threads.

Two sides of the coin: 

1. Ps4 dominated home consoles. Sony is King

2. 3ds dominated hanheld concoles and home consoles. Ninty is king. 

Both valid points as far as I'm concerned. It's all a matter of how you see things. 



Everybody know how the 3ds performed compare to DS in the same timeframe?

Its simple really, Sony is home console king, ninty is handheld king, sony sucks for handhelds, ninty sucks for home consoles.

At the end of the gen, I think people will be surprised by how well Wii U actually does. All this doom and "GC numbers talk" will be moot.


U does not know what the hell it is and wheres it going.

Nin better come up with a wicked game to show this thing works or it GC 2


No offense, but:

1. Grammar works.

2. Guaranteed, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, possibly X, Zelda U, a new Metroid at some point, and probably even another 3D Mario, along with many other games we don't even know of yet, will do just what you said.

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.

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.

I'd say even that is undershooting it.

Lol, true.  It could very easily end up being 20M-22M, but I just went with the safer estimate.

I'm very surprised by the Xone/PS4 gap. Is a Xone stock problem? or the demand is not high as the PS4?


Being in only 13 Markets is the main issue


Forget about it. Nobody in the other European countries cares about XO and waits for it. Trust me, I'm from one of the biggest of them (Poland) and here everyone is pissed at MS for treating us worse, like second quality customers. I really can't see any reason why they wouldn't already release it January 1st or at least announce the launch of XO in the rest of Europe considering XO is collecting dust in the West and they don't have to think about restocking it. They could launch it this month in whole Europe without any stock issues.

In Poland X360 is almost on par with PS3 this gen, but there is no way this is gonna repeat. Not after how they treat us and you know, the extra 100 Euro is actually a lot of money. You can get an extra game and a year of PS+ for that. X360 was popular because it was cheap and easily hackable, these two biggest attributes are gone now and so is any chance of success.

My bet for this gen is: PS4 > Wii U > XO. PS4 being the most dominant console and Wii U being the perfect supplement to it. XO is gonna be a good console that nobody really needs and wants, cause it won't justify its price.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Interesting to see how people ignore 3ds sales on these threads.

That little thing is just beasting. It beat every main brand combined that week and is just crushing its main competitor.

Hardly a videogame console sell that much in any given week. Amazing.

The great 3ds sales are mentioned all the time.

But it's not a 1:1 comparison with home consoles.  Handhelds are cheaper, the games are cheaper, and attach rate is lower than home consoles.  For example total X360 & PS3 attach rate are at 10:1 and 9:1, while DS is at 5:1 and 3DS is at 2.8:1.

So not to take everything away from 3ds, but if it were a console THEN it would be amazing.

It IS a videogame console. And it IS competing for the same hard-earned money videogame fans spend, even not being a home but instead a portable console. Specially now that the casuals are abandoning dedicated gaming devices, I do think that those are amazing numbers.
