Are there any estimates how big the import is? I imagine they get imported from the US. Could moving those sales to South American countries maybe put XBox One in the lead in the US? |
I have no idea. It's really hard to track imports and I don't know of any company that does (apart from a Chinese company for Chinese market).

Do you have any info on how consoles sales in South America? That might give us an idea of how many imports.

Sony and MS probably have a pretty good idea what their active user base is. Not hard to see which consoles get activated where, and the percentage of consoles that never get activated online. It doesn't make a difference on a global scale, yet globally in the US :)
Anyway it's just the flip side of the coin when an article like this
http://gearnuke.com/xbox-one-sells-better-ps4-latin-america-2014/#
gets refuted by import sales. Gotto come from somewhere.

Well.... not in South America. |
Well we have a very big grey market in Brazil and probably other countries in South America, so I wouldn't doubt official market being X1 because of lower prices but them total market being for PS4 because the imports balance out the price.
Offical price dropped from USD 1k (R$ 4k ) to U$ 550-600, and grey at the moment probably 450 ...............PS4
And from USD600 to 450-500 offical for X1 and no interest in grey because of low margins.
That would show why PS4 would sell less officialy but brand strenght, game sellection and worldwide presence would make it more on total.

In the same way that Xbox Ones are also exported outside the U.S. as well.
That;s why it's not worth getting into the whole import thing when at the end of the day we have official sales for each territory, which is what matters.

I agree with you. But considering the ww reach of PS4 and bigger sales it probably have more exports... but if you consider markets not officially supported by MS then they probably receive some consoles as well. But as you said WW is what really matters and we have offical releases and trackers to have a thermometer... just that the 1.1M gap can be a lot smaller than we think (could explain SW sales being quite close even with the HW gap)
