It makes sense actually. That's 13 new countries. A 30k boost totally makes sense.

They aren't new countries though. X1 has been available there almost since launch...in most shops.


Really ? How ?

By the shops importing systems from other countries like the UK. Heck, I live in a country that is neither tier 1 nor tier 2 and it's been available here since January this year.

I didn't know that. That makes these numbers weird for sure. Why would a "launch" give such a boost if the consoles are available in stores since 8+ months ?



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

WiiU has been dropping quite badly the past 2 weeks. Next week it will go back to the 30s once again.

PS3 beasting in Europe??

EU numbers are great but seem odd...
What would cause the sales to be 4 times bigger than last week in Europe ?


Pre-destiny week hype? Other launch countries?

Also, the MS store did recently run a promo where you got a $50 plus the free game. That was NA, but maybe they did the same in Europe?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

That's what I'm questioning. It got a 50k+ boost from the tier 2 launch outside Japan...

Xbox One launched in T2 countries.

Stop the overtrack nonsense unless we have numbers from other trackers that say otherwise.

Never you have a big boost like this for ... Xbox One with theses ... small countries ...

In all of these countries, you can import your console and a Xbox player didn't wait 1 year while the console is available in the country next to 

Example: In Belgium, Xbox players import from France where the language is french too, same in Switzerland where they import from France, Italy or Germany

That's not entirily true. I and a lot of my friends as well as people from Xbox Live from tier 2 countries actually bought an Xbox that week.

Yeah, very odd.

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

It's bullshit though so I wouldn't beleive it if I were you ;) 

Or you could actually be happy for us X1 fans for having one week on top, it won't hurt you, you know ;).

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
