imho xone is slowing becoming a niche machine like WiiU.Basically if you like Xbox games,you already have the machine(or plan to pick it up anyway),thus,the games don't move enough HW even when the software is on fire.


There are more than 80 million 360 users and currently about 17 million people who bought a next-gen system, and this is leaving out PS3 owners who bought a PS4. I see there is quite a big crowd that can still move on to either or both systems, about 145 million people that is.

Following your logic there is 100 millions of people on Wii that should had jump on WiiU when games like Wiisports and mario kart came out.This is not happening because right now PS4 is the default console.

MCC will sell a lot for the ~6million install base but hardware wise,it will not boost sales like its predecessors.Besides,it's holiday season so xone will increase anyway.

Europe has made up its mind, they are not interested in XO for some reason. XO will come first in US & UK plenty of times though.



A superior product with constant world wide demand positive consumer mentality towards it will not get out sold by the X1 ever unless massive changes come in a short time span and a hardware exclusive driver drops.

Aka 150$ price cut the week of Halo5, maybe then it could. As long as its in a non holiday months when the effect of Halo can be truly effective.

Why people keep coming to a sales tracker site asking why do we care about sales? i don't get it!

XBox certainly might win a few weeks here and there (and I'm not talking only about the rest of 2014), helped by inevitable strong bundling of free hit games (Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, FIFA etc.)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Horizon did notvreceive a dedicated bundle, and this might be traced to the fact that it failed to move consoles at a decent level.
Certainly MCC bundle will move some, while CoD probably will not due to a comparatively high price of the 1TB bundle.

All these Tier 2 launches were a brief flash to be followed by a long period of slow sales. And this I think is the question Microsoft needs to find an answer to: "Hiw us it that in 14 years of their consoles they failed to establish any meaningful presence outside of US/UK (or outside of English speaking countries in general)? How is it that in 14 years they did not manage to establish their brand name?
They certainly had chances, they had financial and marketing backing, plenty of good and excellent games, a superior online service, a Microsoft name which is in top 5 brands in the world, yet they failed horribly to attract significant worlwide audience to the point that the name XBox and the associated hardware is virtually non-existent in 3/4 of the globe.
And if in 14 years of existence, favorable market conditions, price advantage, time advantage they could not establish a significant foothold, it is an illusion to expect that to hapoen with XBox One after its PR suicide.
I expect XBox to shift most of their efforts into competing in the English speaking markets, and thus being able to win some weeks or even NPD months, but their excursions into European, Japanese and other markets will increasingly become just an afterthought, going through the motions and hoping for a honorable mention in the stores.

I think Xbox one is hugely undertracked. Firstly China alone is over 100k first 24 hours. EU seems way off and US I predict is now already microsofts.

There will be some big changes when Microsoft reveals its shipped numbers. Xbox one will get a big boost on this site then.


If anything it's overtracked here. What you're describing is confirmation bias. I am a PC and Nintendo fan, but PS4 is absolutely crushing it, all you have to do is look at sales charts, Best Buy, Gamestop, and the ever reliable Amazon charts. If NPD comes and shows yet another 2 to 1 US victory, will the last remnants of these unrealistic beliefs die out? I swear it feels like a religious cult to me, these few who consistently have faith in something that is so unlikely and unproven that it defies logic and sanity. 


dude its just my opinion. We will see. If it hasn't already, I certainly think halo will bring Xbox to the fore in us. Mcc is possibly the best fanfare ever to grace gaming. And a lot of us people love halo. But hey we will see. Personally I actually don't care. I dont really like Sonya games as they tend to be over the top cinematic and linear gameplay. So ill always prefer games like gears of war or halo to uncharted or the last of us. Although I ove me some god of war. By far Sonys best game.

No one will stop you from having or making your opinion. But everyone will argue with the facts that leads to whatever opinions you have. In the event where you see your facts convincingly discredited then the sane thing to do will be to change your opinion. Lest you fall into the "cult defying logc and sanity" category he was decribing.

Like sony, MS is working with an affiliate in china to handle sales of their consoles. The affiliate did not say they sold out 100K consoles, they said they were recieving a shipment of 100k consoles for launch day. Kinda like how sony or rather their affliate is also now saying that they are recieving a shipment of 20ok consoles for launch. Only difference is that unlike MS, sony went on to say that it expect to sell 200k/year in that region. That should hep put some things into perspective for you.

And you predict US is now already MS's? Have you seen or been following the NPD numbers? If we go by NPD numbers (just to be sure we are on the same page they only track US numbers) then for almost every month of this yeat NPD has shown that the XB1 was over tracked here on VGC. And even at that the PS4 was still outselling it every single month of this year too. So you must understand why it seems illogical when you come making opinions with such claims here.

And shipped numbers? So you want to base everything off shipped numbers? Think about this, sony is a hardware company. Primarily. If we want to go off shipped numbers chances are that sony will win the shipping gam every single time. That aside, lets say MS announces shipped numbers of 15M, does that now mean they have sold 15M consoles? Assuming you will say/think yes to that... what would yu now say if a week later sony annouces shipped numbers of 22M?


I didn't mean they were now beating ps4 in us overall. I meant u believe the last couple weeks ms are in front weekly. I'm just saying  vgc are undertracking Xbox one last few weeks. That was all.

 

On the China thing. I read a statement 24 hours after launch that said they sold 100k. That was a statement from the company. And different from any shipped statements before launch. Also I thought the only 100k shipped thing was debunked as rubbish and Microsoft shipped a lot more than that first week?

"Globally in the US", it will!
Worldwide... I doubt it, because of Europe.

Europe? More like because of Earth.

US/UK is close and may actually favor Xbox One in November (or not, but only time will tell us). As far as China, PS4 will not be available there before end of year. And I'm sure other countries are close like US/UK. Even Japan is not going to play a big impact in the global number. The real differentiator is Europe.

When MMC comes out and Microsoft starts their PR campaign for black friday period, chances that US goes back to MS are real. Same goes for the UK and the PS4 will NOT be available in China in november too.

So yah, if Microsoft not win a week in november it is definitely because of "Europe".



Halo's month sounds like the most likely, or Black Friday week.

But on a Worldwide scale, the PS4 is just unstoppable.

I see LBP3 doing big numbers come holiday season.

No it's EARTH. The X1 having a CHANCE to outsell the PS4 in November means those markets usually prefer the PS4.
