UK Xbone/PS4 weekly sales gap is slowly but surely diminishing...gonna be a very interesting couple of months

2 weeks ago: 1k gap (in favour of XB1)
1 week ago: -4k gap (in favour of PS4)
now: -5.3k gap (in favour of PS4)

How is it diminishing?

And Mummelman thinks that I'm being silly by saying that the XBO will sell < 170k per week for Q4...... 90k off this week, and it has only hit/surpassed that figure twice, all year..... Of which those weeks they only surpassed that figure by ~10k

It's baseline seems to be 80k ATM, as that's what it's dropped to twice post release of something/new territory.

Truly abysmal, needs a $150 price cut right now, or the brand is fucked, and won't make it much past 30mill lifetime.

it's not diminishing. Previous week the gap was 3737 units, this week 5272.

Yep that's diminishing. Increasing the gap that you are being outsold by is called diminishing. 



I mean the general trend guys.

Keep in mind when it comes to the China drop off for the X1 that there is very little tracking going on for that region and ioi is probably being conservative with his estimate for the region until there is numbers set in stone in some way (some MS announcement) so basically everyone guessed that there would be a drop this week... so did ioi, that doesn't mean the numbers and drop is 100% correct as it would be in other regions. This is the 2nd week in the last 10 years there has been console sales in China, don't expect the numbers to be 100% accurate.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

What general trend? These are the sales difference between PS4 and X1 for the last 8 weeks.

9,871-5,795=4076 (~70%)

9,931-6,145=3786 (~62%)

9,160-5730= 3,430 (~60%)

37,144-18,802= 19,602 (~98%) - Destiny Week

12,835-9,253=3582 (~39%)

23,262-24016= -754 (~-3%) - FIFA Week

14,650-10913=3737 (~34%)

13,364-8092 = 5272 (~65%)

Total Gap in past 8 weeks = 42,731

After FIFA, the PS4 is just increasing the amount it is selling over the X1.



And X1 below 100k just like I said it would. I remember someone telling me it'd be a long time before that happened, yet here we are (wish I could remember who).

I expect the X1 to jump around, probably climb up through the holidays before it absolutely crashes in January. After that crash, it won't recover until either a price cut or Halo 5. It'll have a sub 60k baseline for most of 2015.

WiiU sales are as depressing as ever... :/

Bayonetta 2 is coming out soon. Hopefully, it'll get the Wii U out of its slump for a good few weeks.

I really hope that will be the case, because those cuurent WiiU sales are just........ uh.

I know...

But the Wii U will eventually get a sale from me I didn't really need one before because my friend in college had one, but now that I've graduated and become a grad student, I should probably get one for my own.

And most people didnt believe when i said 40M was the best scenario for X1



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
