I don't get the outrage. Such a small boost is still pitiful for a launch week. If it wasn't for Destiny, the PS4 would be comfortably ahead despite the boost.

This is my view. The tier 2 launch doesn't really seem like it did much. Not saying it isn't overtacked (though no point to call that with nothing to back it up), but 43K after such a launch doesn't look that great. Next week's deal will lift it a bit (with Desitny), though.

People are just flipping out because they can't seem to stomach the fact that the XBO is #1 this week. That's the only explanation I can find, really.


No one is flippjing out just questining the numbers, only one butthurt is you.

Come on. The Scandinavian countries together are more than a 30% of the population of the UK, and I doubt the number of units sold / capita is any less than the UK. The PS4 already sold a million units in the UK, so it stands to reason that it already sold several hundred thousand units in Scandinavia alone. Add in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland and you got a market with roughly as many potential buyers as the UK.

How much 360 sold in Scandinavian lifetime?

Quite the boost for X1 with the release in the rest of Europe :).


HUH?? For launch week it is horrendous, it barely beat PS4...and chances are it never knowing Vgchartz probably overtracked, no way PS4 dropped 30 k in 1 week.


Considering X1 has been available in most of these countries almost since its launch in America, yes it is :). And I don't actually care if it sells better than PS4, as long as I get great games. But it fun to read the disbelief of so many PS4 fans :).

Everyone expected x1 to be ahead for 1 week at launch...but by so litrle is pretty bad......so yes it is disbelief on how bad x1 is outside the US.

43 k and 26 k for europe and japan launch and BArely outselling ps4 by a miniscule amount is not good for launch week no.....the number for europe are bad.


Just quit it about Japan. Of course numbers are bad, it's friggin' Japan. They only buy handhelds, and when they actually buy home consoles, it's Nintendo or Sony.

And 43k, considering the fact that all the new countries are Tier 2/3, is not bad. Seriously. Just think about it. These countries aren't big markets at all. Like, really.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

I remeber some predicitons X1 doing 2 300k first week in other europe countries LMAO. Now we can end the "Tier 2 will save X1" posters.

2 weeks ago:   - Some People defended the idea that WiiU will sell more this year than Xbox one
                           - Plenty  believed that Xone will not be topping the weekly charts any time soon
                           - Plenty believed in one of the 20-30 threads that Tier 2 countries will not create much of a boost..
                           - People were certain that Destiny will be ****ing amazing...


Bolded part is true though

So How Big of a Boost Will the Tier 2 Countries Provide Xbox One
5k-10k 167 49.55%
10k-15k 57 16.91%
15k-20k 26 7.72%
20k-25k 25 7.42%
25k+ 62 18.40%
Total: 337

Almost half of the VGchartz users predicted that the boost will be 10k or less...Less than 20%  were right...
