Sony sold much more in fewer countries in a shorter timespan.

I'm honestly a little surprised to hear this so soon, and I own one. I'm glad to hear it's not doing as poorly as I feared. Still think the PS4 is gonna have a nice lead in a few months though.

Xbone may not be sold out in all European stores, the opposite appears to be true in most of America, the xbone's biggest market.
The demand is definitely there, it's just that Microsoft is doing an amazing job with supply. Absolutely amazing. Whereas Sony has shit the bed with its supply. They fucked up royally with their supply

I'm surprised by these numbers, looks like they are doing quite well. Kudos to them.
That list looks more interesting than any year the Xbox 360 had.
I was skeptical that MS was matching Sony shipment for shipment but if they really have sold thru 2 million to consumers in just 13 territories then I think they will have won or come close to tying the Ps4 for November in the US. We know the highest sales it achieved outside of the US was around a 170K after 2 weeks in the UK we know its at around 70K in Australia and in Spain around maybe 25K and I don't imagine any mainland European countries doing much more than 75K. So that leaves a ton of consoles for the US and black Friday.
Idk I can see it happening.

Pretty much.
Sony is still launching in 8+ more countries this month without any idea of how many Sony is allocating for those countries.
There's zero indication of how many units are still under back-order for PS4/XB1.
You're writing complete nonsense, Sony were able to sell more consoles in the US than MS: It isn't Microsoft has had better supply, but less demand.

Amazon sells out. Then restocks. That still mean they are sold out. Just supply seems smooth so far.
PS4 was NA only for 2 weeks, meaning that it ~1 million in EU in 2 days.

I have to counteract him, haha
I don't know why people have to spin this. It's absolutely good news.

Probably wanted to hammer the US market with consoles. The reality is that the potential sales figures in many of the EU countries isn't as large. Think Spain moving 80k PS4s.

I guess this proves that consoles are not dead. Which makes me happy.

Was this sarcasm? If not, it's incorrect. 13 for xb1 compared to 1(now it's more, but I don't believe it's 13, it's Europe plus Australia.)
see:
Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets

What is that even suppose to mean? Sarcasm? :-/
Agree, but remember that Microsoft has almost a complete monopoly on PC gaming. Until now, I would rather support Sony actually.

I don't see why people are happy or celebrating. It was obvious both consoles would sell out; even the WiiU sold out. Scalpers bought all the consoles and will continue to do so; we have to watch what happens after Christmas, how many are returned, new shipments, etc, then we will have a true idea.
Xbox One does not have to have better sales than the PS4 to be successful.
Actually its was 700k for EU.
Whats this nonsense?, MS are going for Monopoly thats their business model, mindsets and goal in the gaming industry.
Sony are just on a Revival after the PS3 disaster.
People shouldn't get ahead of themselves. I wonder if both companies had a limitless supply of consoles at launch, how big would the difference be? I'm guessing quite significant.
I'm kind of hoping this is sarcasm, but you never really know. It scares me sometimes.

the Xbox One is an awesome product though. hate to break it to you. I fear for your health when March 11th rolls around.

Sony also launched a week earlier. Think that had something to do with it?!
Microsoft DOES have better supply. This cannot be disputed. There are several people that work in retail and post on neogaf that have confirmed that Microsoft is doing a MUCH better job of supplying product. These same people have confirmed that the xbones are selling out shortly after being received. Better supply.
Just because they claim demand to be exceeding supply doesn't make it true: It's demonstrably untrue for Europe, but the US as well.
It's not, it's a bad games console with a really weak graphics card at an expensive price with a terrible interface.

It doesn't prove anything but it's a good start.
Interesting points.
I've never seen this much hype before in relation to consoles, that's for sure. What you said can be true (I hope it's not of course) and may happen, you're right.

So, not doomed. Surprisingly brisk given the price tag
Still makes you wonder why the online active users are lagging behind PS4 for BF/CoD, is it just a Euro-biased sampling error or are One gamers gravitating towards exclusives more?
and the manufacturing yield problems lol
