Well if the X1 had a weak NPD month compared to the PS4 then that goes pretty much completely against our data, so I don't know about that.

Other than that, yeah the PS4s lead will only continue to grow, especially if those leaked release dates for the Tier 2 and Tier 3 countriesfor the X1 are true, if the X1 doesn't get any new countries by March 31st, then the difference between both machines could possibly grow up to 2.5mil consoles or more.


Yeah but last 7-10 days has seen a bigger shipment appear online and in stores in US. This will likely become apparent in the next 2 weeks of data as I expect a substantial lead.

Japan will probably have the PS4 on the top of the charts for WW for a good month and then it will probably be swapping between 1st and 2nd with the 3DS over the following months.


And 3rd. Don't forget Vita is doing all right there, and might improve a tad with PS4.

the 150k weekly looks to be that sony is keeping 60k units a week back for the japanese launch

Yeah, something like that. They are making over 1m a month (so over 250k per week), but I'm sure there is still some lag given they were flying in units before christmas and now they're just shipping them in

But anyone would realise that the gap is going be larger by mid-March. The PS4 is still stock constrained and selling considerably more than the Xbone and is soon to launch in Japan. Titanfall might change things somewhat (though the PS4 has the far more exciting inFamous Second Son that most people won't care about)

I was meaning for WW, Vita in Japan will probably be selling around the same as the Ps4 is in Japan.

According to MS financial report it was 3.9mi, so you were wrong.

But not to be ashamed, how do you even be able to know the number of units solds of any given product? As I´m aware, companies spent a lot of time and money with auditorship.
