So because I didn't provide a link and because ioi didn't have 3m on the site then that means MS made up the over 3 million? He also has the Xbox 360 STILL undertracked by about 1.5-2 million. Who's to say his X1 numbers weren't undertracked too?

he has 2.92m. And not just ioi but NPD and GFK. MS estimated sales. (even stated in their press release it was estimated) and they over estinated. It really is simple as that

I see 3.08m

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)

when are they lauching in japan exactly? could give us more info on first week there

Feb 22nd

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Yes, get my "Estimated facts" straight. That week also has 3 days of september, which is more than enough time for after christmas hype.

You are treating VGChartz numbers as fact??

That´s a good one.

Seems like a reasonable figure for the launch

Please, foward us with GFK, NPD and retailer stock level for each of the 13 markets Xbox One has been launched.

It is a given that VGChartz adjusts their numbers whenever NPD or financial reports came out. And one could assume their numbers for USA, UK and mey be Germany are accurated.

The rest of the world numbers??

Not a chance. Don´t think VGChartz has any clue of what is going on in Saud Arabia, India, Turkey, Argentina, Chile, Colombia...

Edit: those are PS4 markets, and other that VGchartz are drawing about 30% of their PS4 figures, whether Xone has less than 10% for minor markets.
