I meant, PS3 in 2007 was doing 1/3 of Xone in 2014 is doing. 

Except it isn't.  The PS3 did more than the XOne did for the most recent week, and for the year is well ahead.

2014 XOne - 1.126m

2007 PS3 (up to Apr 7) - 1.725m

The 360 was leading the PS3 by 7 million units in March 2007 in the USA?

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?

Even so, the most recent month was only 2.39x the PS3 in March 2007.  For the 3 month time period it isn't even double, only 42% ahead.

Plus those posts you were quoting were about catching up worldwide in the first place.

Dark feanors salty tears are glorious, I'm glad the average Xbox fan isn't like him however.

Why's it always the minority that drag the majority down?

so we have WiiU numbers.

On a side note if Titanfall was > 1 Million.... WOW that's incredible sales for a game on a console with such a low userbase. Big success in terms of numbers.

You have any idea if those include PC sales? I'd imagine the PC version would be low though, since most people use Steam nowadays.

No clue sorry!

As I said on my stealthly edit post: "We people here have a tendency to mix WW sales with NPDs".

To be clear and for the sake of my argument, the 1/3 part is sole from USA.

My point is, Neogaf has a 90+ page thread of people glooming doom for a 60k lead and a overall lead of 400k(?) as if Microsoft had no way in hell to overcome this and the situation for the next, let say, 8 years os setled in stone.

Sory if I think this prediction is laughable.

The situation is exactly as one would expected when you put two similar products which one is cheaper than the other. I was tired to face threads here where I said: "The Xone will sell 20% to 25% less than the PS4 as long the price is 25% more, any thing more than that is a victory for such a hated console".

The people I faced, many of which are constantly banned by now, were the one saying "no one want to buy a XOne" or PS4 will outsell the XOne 3 to 1 or 5 to 1... those guys are still on NeoGaf.

The WW part, well, look at sales figure from the last 2 or 3 years. The PS4 is seling almost at the same pace as the PS3 and the same is true for the XOne/360.
