Lol.

50m Wii U sales confirmed! :)

I think alot of vgc would have liked to have seen the Wii U done better than it actually did.

After seeing the numbers, I am not sure who should be salty. When your competitor sells seventy five percent of what you do with half the audience, things start looking bleak for your market share... 

Not that I put much faith in  vgchartz numbers, but I The vgchartz numbers for global software sales are 305 million for the ps4 vs 155 million for the xbox one. Again, though, I wouldn't put any faith in either number. 

We know that digital is around 15-20%.

We Know PS4 software sales are over 370m.

A little math and you should be able to find a range that would be for physical sales.

Wow it's amazing how quickly people got pissy in this thread.

It's a strange milestone to report on though.

Hmmm? What are you referring to?

VGC has the PS4 at a higher Tie Ratio than the XBO.

Edit: Oh I believe you may be referring to the 3ds figures in the OP... in which case I'd remind you the 3ds has been out 3 years longer.

Whoops, I forgot that Sony released that 370 million figure. You're right, that number's probably not that far off then.

These are US figures.

I will never trust VGC software figures because they are far worse than hardware figures.

Having said that, has Kerotan contradicted himself in another thread for you to say that?

That still leads to more than fifty percent. Then arguably, the XONE also has more than fifty percent. 

Stopping before the headache starts...

I dare you to make a positive MS thread regarding the Xbox One when it achieves a milestone.

Odd as it might seem, you're the first person from the British Isles who doesn't seem to like the console. Most Irishmen I know have an Xbox One or want one if they are able to spare the money.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the topic at hand but I've made similar threads for consoles I don't care for in the past and will continue to do so in future.  The other day I did it for the 3DS doing it in Japan. 

 

Now another correction for you.  Ireland isn't part of the Britain. 

 

And I'm not sure where you are from but I don't know a single person with an Xbox one from Ireland.  Everybody I know who games is on pc or ps4 this gen.  Last gen all these people were divided pretty equally between ps3 and 360. Sony has taken back Ireland.  

 

The xbox one only really has a foothold with primary school kids because parents for some reason think the Playstation is for older people.  Not sure how they got that impression.  Like lots of them don't realise the likes of gta etc are on xbox too. Probably as a result of Sony constantly marketing adult themed games.

Selective bias, yup, lol. 

Game be applied to really anything sales wise on this site. 

Try again because I've made a thread like this about the about the 3DS recently.

Yep,  incredible achievement so soon into the gen!

It's 100m SW sales in a region.  Pretty big and significant milestone.

Hence why I dare you to. I haven't seen you ever say anything positive on the system. I want to see if it's true.

 

Also, I said British Isles, not Great Britain... 

 

Finally, then odds are we have different friends, though I did hear most parents buy the XONE for their kids than a PS for the aforementioned reason, probably thanks to Rare.
