If MS can just improve their sales in Europe somehow then MS wouldn't have to worry about X1's sales.


MS doesn't need the EU. A US domination is all they need. :)

BALANCE


Problem is they are not dominating US, let alone be ahead. They did well in November and will do in December. But real effect of price cut will be understood next year.

So true. Even with a huge price cut and great bundles, the PS4 is still besting the X1 worldwide by 100,000s of units per week.

Well, to be fair, the PS4 also had bundles and prices cuts. I don't think MS will ever catch up WW, but they will in the U.S.

Quite true although many of the price cuts were 'unofficial'(done via Walmart/Best Buy etc) and certainly not to the same extent as the X1. Sony did officially put out bundles though but again, not nearly to the same value as Microsoft. Sales of the X1 have improved amazingly compared to the 60k baseline it was at a few months ago and their US market share has expanded. I still can't believe there were people expecting the Wii U to be second place and selling over 12 million by 2015 lol.

Sorry VGChart but your Vita numbers in rest of the world are simply too small, sony already told that the asian market of the vita is increasing and recently games like freedom Wars with World Wide online ranking features shows that the ASIAN MARKET IS BIGGER AND MORE ACTIVE THAN US OR EU MARKET (japan not included) so sony Q4 numbers will simply show what I m talking now.


You are so right!!!

Even the Europe numbers are a little bit to small, becauce in this week Media Markt (biggest electronic shop in Germany) had the Vita for 100€. In my region this Vita bundles sold very good! 

Yeah also that, but my problem is principally with asian market, the 2 preview quarters vita+psp shipment was like 100k more than the wii Us, the Wii U outsold the vita in almost every weeks in that period on VGC and the WiiU numbers was 2 times the vitas one in some weeks even though the PSP is discontinued in lot of markets like Japan, EU.....
EDIT: PSVITA +PSP shipment as of Q2 2014 ~17M  since vita launch

I don't think they have to worry at all. Europe has gone from weak sales to healthy, overall hardware sales are good. Just not PS4 good.

I really wonder about that. A massive drop come January would be logical if the price goes up again but maybe, just maybe, X1 sparked some love these holidays and raised its baseline in US higher than PS4.
