You are right. #12 for the year in video games though.

For some reason PS4 is not even on there, though. Those charts are pretty useless.

Wii U - A number so large it takes down the internet, the world is thrown into chaos. War rages. Nations fall. Oceans Rise and there is still no new Metroid...
PS4 - 5 consoles. All sold to GAF members who weren't in on the hoax of hyping up the system for the last year. They are forever branded as SonyGaf. It is tattooed on their forehead as a mark of shame
XB1 - 2.76 trillion consoles. Mostly sold to China for use in rebuilding areas of the great wall. Rest sold to Albert Penello. He struggles under their weight and is never seen from again. Thunderhead becomes self-aware and introduces a text to speech program in the XB1. In essence the kinect now just yells insults at you and calls you fat. Obesity is solved in the US but pharmaceutical drugs are rampant
Np, just be careful, sales-age is both a fun and a dangerous game lol

From what we know about list wars is that console exclusives don't count and cannot be used in lists or a positive reason to own a console over another. It's the reason why 360 lists are barren because all that counts is 1st party retail games, console exclusives don't count and neither does anything in the xbox arcade library. Otherwise things would look unacceptably good for the 360 library.
Maybe it didn't make top 100.
Maybe the PlayStation Portable 3000 and the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows PCs was more popular after all.
Or nobody bought a PS4 on Amazon because there were no stores to rush and injure your fellow man.

Thanks man. You have some great information. 600+ thousand per week shipment for December is crazy to think about. As far as the logistics go it boggles the mind on how hard it'll be to manage, but I'm glad they are doing it. More people need this system.

US rather than NA, no? At least the numbers we get.

You must ask yourself why PS4 day one edition is not there in the list.
Blindly? For either console to hit 1 million in a month they've got to ship an average 250k a week, if the manufacturer is doing a mix of both air freight and by boat they could overlap in delivery times when they get to shore.

Is 3 mil PS4s globally by now too unreasonable? It depends on how many units Sony has managed to ship out between then and now, and whether they're stockpiling for the asian launches this month.
They delisted the PS4 day one edition because it's not a separate sku, was always way ahead of the Xbone though.

I think that's quite a stretch. I feel the only people looking at Titanfall as the future of the platform are people who also believe Titanfall is somehow the only thing the platform has going for it. Essentially, people that want and are intrigued by Titanfall, but aren't necessarily as willing to get an Xbox One in order to play it, possibly just opting for the PC release instead. It's a very important exclusive title in the early life of the console, one I'm quite sure is expected to do very well, and anything less would probably be a disappointment. I've always felt that the game releasing on the 360 may quietly be a bit of a master stroke, which may drive sales and success of the game a lot more than people are expecting right now.
However, as far as exclusives are concerned, I'm personally a lot more excited about the next Halo and Quantum Break, or what I hope is a possible sequel to Ryse. In fact, if I were to get my Xbox One around the time Titanfall releases, I'd be far more likely to play through and beat Ryse first before giving Titanfall a shot. Titanfall looks insanely good though. It's a game I'm very excited about, and it's attempts to bring an almost campaign like experience to an MP game with the types of traversal possibilities shown, looks quite promising, but at the end of the day, it's still just an MP game. I certainly have nothing against an MP only title, as I've have had plenty of fun with those over the years (on the PC), but I'm much more into to big, story driven singleplayer style games. That a potentially big game like Titanfall is showing up pretty early in the life of the Xbox One is something I view as a really nice bonus on top of the other things that excite me about the platform, and certainly all my friends that have played it have come away gushing with praise for how incredible the gameplay feels. So, by default, it's on my radar, but for me it's far from the main course. After all, I'm the kind of person who only bought COD 4 and MW2 for the campaign. I never touched a second of either game's MP. Titanfall just looks interesting and fun enough for me to take the plunge, and since the Xbox One will be my first time being a regular Xbox Live Gold subscriber, I'd almost be crazy not to give the game a shot.

So the fact that the PS4 pre orders on Amazon were tracking well above the Xbox One and had five SKUs in the most wanted list means nothing? Did 80% of PS4 pre orders cancel and move to the Xbox One? Or is the list just messed up?
Which do you think is more likely, hmm? Just saying.
And damn, Senjutsu, do you go through 3 keyboards a week? Good post. I like how much effort you put into them, even if I don't always agree with your novels.
USA only actually. Canada is still tracked separately, though I haven't seen numbers in some time. I wonder if anyone even subscribes to them. I have no idea if NPD tracks Mexico, but I'd wager that if they do, those numbers are separate as well.

The epic saga of a local hockey team that has to take public transportation to the league final.
MS supplied amazon with consoles for 14 hours yesterday. I'd be more concerned that it took that long to sell out.
It was at #5 for the year before it disappeared so even higher than xone is now after all those restocks. And it had other skus littered through out the top 100. Don't know why it got delisted.

With 4+ million units of PS4/XBO's out there, I hope devs get away from making games for both generations much sooner than later!

you guys still have to just be patient...Supply has to catch demand before we see who is pulling ahead. But these silly numbers game is just embarrassing and MS spin as well. JUst makes me not want to support them even less based on there PR.
Still not in a rush to get PS4 though, but I think sales wise the hype is a bit higher. Also on Amazon, PS4's launch platform, accessories, and games all have double and triple the amount of reviews. Take it with a grain of salt, but generally, a product bought more has more reviews attached to it, as well as the outside evidence of X1 being a tad easier to find than PS4.
None of this can be proven without a doubt atm...market leader (if any) will be decided shortly guys. Just wait it out.

Why is this constantly brought up? North America (mainly U.S) accounts for more than Half of PS4 world wide sales. History tells us that will continue to be the case no matter how many other countries these systems are launched in, because N.A accounts for just about half of PS3, Wii and XB360 WW sales.
US PS3 sales~25mn
WW sales ~80mn
Less than 1/3.
It does account for over half of WW 360 sales tho.

He actually isn't very knowledgeable at all.
Here are a few claims he made 10 days ago:
All of which turned out to be incredibly wrong.
And to cap it off, he made this spectacular prophecy which I'd look to look back on in a few years
You're giving him way too much credit. He's worse than Pachter, which says a lot.
Please explain how these statements have been proved to be wrong.

In case you didn't know, the Xbox One has sold 2 million units to customers. He goes so far as to suggest that if you believe MS could possibly match Sony's 2 million so soon, then he has a bridge to sell you. lol

The PS4 was sitting at number 6 on the Amazon best sellers of 2013 list, but disappeared about a week ago. Don't know why, but those charts are pretty useless for accurate sales data.
He said that on the 3rd and said they were around 1.3-1.5mil at that time so he was right on as it was 8 days later to reach 2 million. I don't see anything he said that was very far off base as Sony is out manufacturing Microsoft at the moment.
Whats the heading to this thread??? Should give you a fair idea of where his statements crumble to the point of being complete bollocks.

He was very clearly referring to MS's ability to supply 2 million. He even straight up wrote that MS stocked up 2 months worth of supply to hit 1 million, implying not only that it was unlikely to shift 2 million anytime soon, but that you'd be a fool to believe that.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. At all. He's been using his goodwill here to make up nonsense.
I'd leave him be, it's clear what he was stating and MS release of numbers just runs a bus through his "insider" knowledge. Pretty much the same as the numbers stuff up the "yield" issues which appears to be another pile of shite.
For week two but he never said anything about when they would reach 2 million in total. Part of the stockpiling is happening during production ramp up so by the time they launched the were at full production. You are just reading too much into his statements putting words into his mouth.
