Shadow1980 said: I hate how NPD is so damn secretive about their numbers. Famitsu has been publicly releasing weekly sales figures for Japan since the 90s, and Media Create has been doing so since 2002. But for NPD we always have to rely on third party sources for numbers. Why? It's just sales figures for video games, not plans for a top-secret military project. It gets even worse the further back you go in time. Nothing for the NES, SMS, or TG-16 exists, and I haven't been able to get anything for the SNES and Genesis prior to 1993 or anything for the Game Boy and Game Gear prior to 1995. Is it really that important to the NPD that the public doesn't know how much the Genesis started selling when Sonic came out, or how big the launch month of the TurboGrafx-16 was? |

We're not getting numbers from Europe? Hell, the only numbers we have got recently from there (Germany) showed heavy undertracking. |
Ok but exactly how much of that 70k undertracking is from April 2014-August? I would assume not much.

I would assume quite a bit since we previously got numbers from Germany for 2013 (launch sales), when the gap between X1 and PS4 was relatively quite a bit smaller there. This year it's been like 5:1 or worse.

ps4 is overtracked on vgc for the usa
ps4 ltd as of 2. august = 3754k
so only ~38% (+~50k sales for first august week) of that 10m announcement are usa sales
now im really curious where that 10m sales come from...
japan ps4 ltd sales as of 10. august = 659k
so only 45,5% of world wide ps4 sales are from us + japan

The power of being a world wide brand.

Which is extremely normal for a playstation console and is as to be expected

not sure, if it will get even more worse
if xb1 managed 250k (would be very low becaus would be only 10k more than first half year) end of 2014, ps need 1.25m units for 5:1
if xb1 managed 300k (only 130k with pricecut, bundles and the strong second half year) ps need 1.5m for a 5:1 ratio
so ps4 need to sell 710k or even more units the second half of 2014
thats not easy to achive
