What an embarrassing post. If it's not satire I genuinely feel pity for you.
Funny how things change huh? They've gone from saying "we want to appeal to everyone" to "we only want to appeal to Xbox fans". Why they ever thought Xbox would mean anything other than gaming to the mass market I will never know.

that... seems like the wrong takeaway from this info

I'm pretty sure they said ALMOST.
Well given the relatively small difference between PS4 and X1 sales in the US and UK, the rest of the world must be significant enough to allow Sony to arguably double the amount of consoles sold vs X1.

Wasn't Xbox360's sales kinda mediocre the first couple of years anyway? It started selling really well after Kinect etc. But maybe the same will happen with the Scorpio..

Well, if they're rounding up, that would be "almost" 54, not almost 55.
There's something funny about the fact that they're diverging 1.6 mil from Sony's own figures.

There's nothing arrogant about this picture and it's not bragging- it's 100% brutal marketing to show consumers and third parties that there's only one console which matters.

And 28 million SOLD.
There is a big gap already between 360 and XB1... bigger than PS4 and XB1 US gap.

Well, I'm no Microsoft fan, but I will say that they are a lot better at adapting to negative feedback than Nintendo is. Had they not done rapid 180s on most of their plans, you'd have seen a Wii U level disaster.

It makes sense for MS to focus on NA first, it's their core market and they have a solid ground to grow unlike the rest of theworld where they basically have to start from from the bottom. Their best strategy is retaking NA, then expand worldwide.

Keep on trucking, Xbox.
See how that Scorpio does for you.

in the good words of The Flesh.... ouchies.
I don't care what Microsoft says, Scropio is a new gen so those sales won't help XB1.

Whats the record for most sold in a year? Did PS2 and Wii ever do 20+ in a single year?
Sorry had to squish in the text for effect
You're thinking of alaska, we got moose, beavers, and poutine

28m sold through? do you have a source for that?
because that number is news to me. in that case xbox one is maybe down ww over 360 after 38 months
but i find it hard to believe xb360 had only 500k units on shelf at the end of 2008 .
that is sold out territory
ps4 had 1.8m units on shelfs at the end of 2015
Feels like ages ago since we actually got a sales milestone from MS.
Look at who we just elected for president. That should tell you everything.

Wow that salt. Many people like discussing industry trends/sales, the overall health of the industry, no need to come in with your salt and insult a bunch of people.

I love it when people come into sales or tech topics and bash the participants.
If with Slim you mean One S, of course.

I don't believe that to necessarily be true. If you take a regional approach to your product's offering along with any branding/marketing that goes along with that then you risk backing yourself into a corner. What you can end up with is a product that is so specific and focused towards a particular region that it then becomes a huge undertaking to adapt it in order for it to be suitable for other markets.
Whereas is you take a "global first" approach to your product creation then it becomes seemless when you end up transitioning across to other markets, which allows you to have a far stronger and more consistent brand identity. That way it's less work in the long run and your product ends up being more robust. If you want a prime example of this look into the thinking behind the design philosophies and branding that went into the iPhone.
That's just my take on it.

7TF 16GB spec bump is coming to save the day.
Not exactly surprising either though.

When people say that here they almost always mean US/UK not wwDidn't PS3 even that caught up and surpassed it though? Quite impressive as it had less time on the pitch.

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
I reckon the gap is a bit smaller in New Zealand.
Usually it's about the 80m+ sold figure, so it is WW that they are talking about. I don't think the PS3 ever caught up in the US.

If true, the the optics of it certainly look bad for X1, selling less than half of PS4.
But the market is as healthy as it was last gen! People said so! I really hope Switch sells well, I don't want a Sony dominated market if Xbox continues to falter where PlayStation grows :/
Don't forget the price, $250. It will sell like hotcakes.
