He posted this after the official numbers came out... :P

Some nice numbers here, not too far from the preliminary estimates! Can't wait for NPD

Remember the NPD data only comes to the mass public if GAF members release it again. Itmay not come at all...

Hi, first post!

Why does this site always overtrack XB1 and undertrack PS4? I expect Sony to anounce 17 million sold WW tommorow. Those USA numbers are wrong too i bet.


It doesn't always, they both have had their share of being overtracked/undertracked.  Most of the data from areas with official data trackers like us, Europe, and Japan tends be pretty good.  However, the rest of the world can be a bit tricky to calculate.  There is also the whole shipped versus sold issue.  Most of the time companies are actually announcing how many units they have sold to retailers but this site tracks how many are sold to consumers, so the numbers lag behind.

 

anyway, welcome to the site!

I see. Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks!

Well, let's say they often undertrack PS4, but then they have to adjust, this happens always.  We will see tomorrow.


Yeah i've been watching this site for a few months and i've notice that. Do they still think the Xbox is more popular than PS or something? I don't know how they get their data so i'm just wondering.

 

Oh! I found this  

http://www.insiderp.com/ps4-hits-17-million-units-sales-worldwide.html

 

I don't know how reliable they are, but honestly i would believe these numbers are more acurate. 


Don't trust insiderp...

like Driveclub sold over one million fist day according to them :D

We can also confirm that PS4 has won November in UK

False statement, too
I would never trust that side

Eh, it is the holidays with inflated sales it "could" happen in December... Not very likely though... And no way it keeps the momentum once the temporary price cut is removed...

I think Nov going to X1 is a given.  Dec is anyone's game and I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 in a row for MS to close out 2014.  Jan on though?  Back to the status quo.  Unless of course they make the price cut permanent.  THEN, I think things could get interesting.

Edit: and obviously I mean only globally in the US.



Vita massivly undertracked in Europe as usually...
PS4 = BEAST MODE

PS4 undertacked by 130K in the USA by the looks of it.

EDIT: Hmm, the article's gone now. Shenanigans! It was on the front page for a couple of minutes...

EDIT again: Beat by CGI-Quality like I was a bowl of eggs.

I don't know what they think.  But sure Playstation is the most popular brand on the planet.

Also in NA XBox is not the most popular brand anymore; they are recovering thanks to the price cut and fire sales.

This VGC article states PS4 numbers are over 700k www.vgchartz.com/article/252388/playstation-4-sold-over-720k-units-black-friday-week-in-the-us-sets-black-friday-record/

But that seems to be different from the numbers we discussing here...:?
