PS4 is available in 72 countries and it shipped only 2 millions more.

What's your take on that, fanboys?

 

Really? Those other countries don't move a whole lot of consoles. MS is in their main money makers. Also 5 million shipped VS 7 million sold. MS down nearly 3 million. 2-1 in Sonys favor is looking very likely in the coming months.

I wonder if we can expect the Wii U to be under-tracked again. Although, the 3DS will happily even out the numbers for VGC considering how it is most likely over-tracked here as well.

5M sell-in?  Why not use sell-through, MS?   

This most likely means that VGC is pretty close in tracking the One, probably a bit of overtracking going on if the shipped to sales gap is still ~900k-1M.  They did overtrack by ~35K in the US.  Still, pretty damn close.

Nonsense.  1m for 13 countries is plenty. 

MS is saying that as of now they have shipped 5M.  VGC has it at 4.2M sold through, so 800K on shelves.  Considering that VGC has it over in the US, and the gap could still be 900K (maybe more, because MS expected Titanfall to really push HW sales), then it's not hard to believe they may be over somewhere else.

Did Titanfall and bundling and price adjustments help?


Divide by the number of days in the month and use a daily rate. 28 is 4 weeks but 31 is less than 5 weeks.  Yes Titanfall helped.  But MS needs a more agressive / permanent price cut.

Not sure, but I think they used 35 days so the number of days would not matter.

I think he's being sarcastic...

Anyway, I'm shocked, I genuinely thought X1 would win by a long shot.

PS4 has outsold XB1 in every country they are both released in with the exception of brazil. PS4 has outsold XB1 in USA, UK, Germany, France and other markets.

PS4 SOLD 7 million, XB1 SHIPPED 5 million. Gap is around 2.8 million (sold), speaking realistically and going off of VGC numbers for the XB1. 

you can play the "13 vs 70" countries agrument all you want. fact of the matter is PS4 is dominating.

That's not entirely fair to say. NPD top 10 doesn't list the bundled Titanfall numbers. This means that without even counting the popular Titanfall Xbox One 450 bundle, the Xbox One version + PC version still debuted at #1. It did it's job it looks like.
