Well in total shipments it is still well ahead.  The first two quarters saw 3.2m for the 360.  However the majority of that, 1.7m, was actually in the Jan-Mar quarter.  The 360 was supply constrained and launched in more territories though, so the comparisons aren't perfect.  At the end of the year the XBOne was at ~1.8m in the US and 3m worldwide.  If that ration has held true this year, then the worldwide sales would be ~1.17m for 2014 based on 711k US sales.

You mean a $500 console selling slightly less than the last 2 years of a $300(or $200) console?

Funny thought that the PS4 is also selling slightly less than the did PS3 last 3 years... but in that case we can always blame "the shortages".

The funny thing about Neogaf is that the trend right now is:

"MS isnt pulling no PS3. The only reason why PS3 was able to bounce back is because of Sony's first party support and the devs talented enough to exploit Cell in said 1st party. MS got to comfortable coasting on 3rd parties last gen and now its biting them."

"Eh...The PS3 was carried by rest of the world.

Right now, the XB division is in a worst shape than the PS3 situation since the MS brand isn't that strong outside of NA/UK.

PS3 came back from a fricken 1 year sales gap + stupid high price because of the WW numbers and strong brand support. But X1? It is almost dead on arrival for most countries, hence why MS probably didn't want to ship extra units to other 2nd/3rd tier countries and wasting marketing/shipping resources for doing so."

And so on...

I wonder if those guys realise that by this time of the year in 2007 the PS3 was doig 1/3 of current XOne sales and was 7mi units behind the 360? 

And Sony was bleeding mony on the galons with each console sold?

Well.. that is why I love NeoGaf. You can talk your BS you want and no one will call you out. 

no it wasn't the ps3 was at 2,858,197 at the end of march 2007 and the x1 at 4.1mill at the end of march 2014, and let's forget the x360 was a full year on the market longer than the ps3 ;)

He stands out because everyone else is continuing to pretend the Vita doesn't exist. He wouldn't be singling out the Vita at all if people weren't quoting him asking why he feels the need to include the Vita in his recap of all of the NPD results.

People don't bother pointing out the obvious.

We know the Vita is dead in the US, we don't need Tbone over here to constantly remind us.

You mean those timely and scatered on some places promotions?

Friend, as long Microsoft keeps the official price at $500 those deals won´t have much effect (outside the hollydays).

But as I said, sales will drop this summer, don´t matter what Microsoft bundle the console... the Hollydays, thought, could be a different story.

I know total shipments are ahead.  It had a really good launch.  But, looking at just 2014 sales by themselves, they are shipping the same, or a worse, amount as the dying 360 has been the past few years.  It just illustrates how much sales have dropped in other parts of the world, while in the US it still remains ahead of the 360.

As of the week ending April 7th, 2007 the PS3 was 6.5 million behind the 360 and selling more on a weekly basis (though it was still coming off the Europe launch.  It also wasn't doing a third of current XOne sales.  In fact, that April 7th week was quite a bit higher than the XOne's most recent week.  Maybe you meant US sales, but the 360 didn't have a 7 million lead in the US at this time in 2007.

Though either way, I'm not sure how that matters for the posts you quoted.  The PS3's lead over the 360 in places like Japan and mainland Europe allowed it to keep up with the 360 despite the deficit in the US/UK.  For example even with the 360 doing well in the UK, the PS3 led in European sales for all but five weeks in 2007 after it launched.  The situation for Microsoft isn't the same.
