Xbox one- 284k


Damn, and that's with them giving away two free games. Pretty bad.

Also undertracked by VGC, though not by much (especially not compared to the massive undertracking of PS4)



Xbox One sold 284K



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Xbox One 37k under over here.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Thanks for providing this.  Has anyone noticed no 360/xbox one gap chart.   Or maybe I missed it but how do the aligned launches match up now?  We need to know how the Xbox One is doing in comparison to 360.  Is the X1 still ahead? 


According to NPD figures, the XBO has sold 1,391,000 units from January through August of this year, while the 360 sold 1,808,000 during the January-August period of 2006. That means the XBO was at that point trailing the 360 by 417k. Whether the gap narrows or widens depends on what the XBO numbers for September are. I guess we're still waiting on the usual folks at Neogaf to provide those.

Now, if you want to count total LTD sales, that actually favors the XBO as it had a much, much better launch than the 360. The XBO sold 1817k during Q4 of last year while the 360 sold only 607k during Q4 2005 (I do understand that the 360 apparently had shortages at the time). That gives the XBO LTD sales of 3208k as of August, while the 360 sold 2415k from November '05 to August '06. Of course, the original Xbox had a much better launch than the 360 as well, pulling 1422k in the Nov.+Dec. 2001 period. Hell, even the Wii U had a better U.S. launch than the 360. So, launch sales don't mean a whole lot in the long run.

I'm still waiting on PS4 and XBO data for my graph, but here's the graph as it exists right now, with non-Xbox consoles excised so we can compare just Xbox consoles:

Note that the original Xbox got a price cut in May 2002, whereas the XBO had Titanfall in March and Kinect was unbundled in June.

Thanks!  So basically the baseline for 360 was higher during the aligned launch but the lauch itself was much better on the Xbox One.

284k? That's terrible considering the really decent bundles.

It's exactly why some people are in for a big shock once Nov. NPDs comes around. 



PS4 sold 538K

I think eventually the Vita will be a glorious emulation machine. No backhanded compliment, I am actually thinking of buying one for the moment you can hack it and use as a portable emulation machine.


guess you better go buy one then. It's been done for awhile now.
