So 200K by "Reyes" 6th January (the day traditionally kids get their presents) is a real possibility, wow.

It depends of how many stock are in stores.
No more units until January 13th.

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

Vega >>> Guile or something...

the matchup isn't really in guile's favor in the first place though

 

[Rolf NB]

That's uh... a pretty decisive victory. I have no frame of reference for Spain though -- is 134,000 units good?

It's a lot!

Spain has about 15% of the USA's population with a comparative 60~65% per-capita income.

So this is "equivalent" to about 6~9x the sales in the US in the same timeframe.

 

[tolkir]

Spain has always been Sonyland. This is not new.

Indeed.

 

[Adry9]

The Xbox one (the first one, not the xbone) was a disaster in Spain, Microsoft didn't do that bad with the 360 being so cheap. But now those 100€ more make a huge difference.

 

[Daedardus]

People need something to play while they wait to get a job.

It's on the PR mail.

Can you post the entire e-mail?

Thanks.

And Spain is in a huge economic crisis right now. Dat 25% unemployment rate...

 

[DieH@rd]

It will be interesting to see numbers after new year.

Both companies will probably post official numbers in their quarterly financial statements during mid-January. [if somebody bundles nextgen+currentgen numbers like sony did with PS3+PS2 or Vita+PSP, I'm gonna flip out].

 

[mocolostrocolos]

No surprises here regarding Sony.

What actually amazes me is the Xbox One numbers.

 

[LiquidSolid]

so microsoft is flooding america.

I highly doubt it has anything to do with a shortage of Xbone's, they're easily available in a lot of countries at this point.

 

[Chinner]

Xbox one sold more units in 5 days than the ps4 did in 1 hour. incredible!

 

[Vitet]

People need something to play while they wait to get a job.

Unemployed subsidy = 426€
PS4 = 399€
XBONE = 499€

Everything makes sense now

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Wow what a difference, Europe will be Sonyland indeed.

In other news, water is wet.

Can you post the entire e-mail?

Thanks.

It's in Spanish:

Sony Computer Entertainment España (SCEE) ha anunciado que PlayStation®4 (PS4™) ha alcanzado las 134.000 unidades vendidas en España, desde su lanzamiento el pasado 29 de noviembre hasta el día de ayer, domingo 22 de diciembre. Además el ratio de venta es 4.8 veces superior al de su más inmediata competencia.

La nueva plataforma se convierte así en el regalo estrella de estas navidades y en uno de los productos navideños más demandados. Se prevé que mañana por la noche la cifra de ventas supere las 150.000 unidades. Este enorme éxito está provocando una situación de escasez de producto en muchas tiendas que se no será subsanado hasta el próximo 13 de enero cuando llegue a nuestro país una nueva remesa de consolas.

“PS4™ ha sido diseñada en base a un firme compromiso con los jugadores. Estamos completamente satisfechos con la pasión mostrada por los fans de PlayStation® y les queremos agradecer su apoyo y confianza en este nuevo lanzamiento. Todo aquel que aún quiera comprar una PS4™ para Reyes y no la encuentre, puede hacer una reserva en su tienda y recogerla a partir del 13 de enero,” ha señalado James Armstrong, vicepresidente senior del sur de Europa y consejero delegado para España y Portugal de Sony Computer Entertainment.

Las cifras de ventas no hacen sino confirmar la gran acogida que los jugadores de todo el mundo están demostrando con la nueva plataforma, que les sumerge en una nueva era de juego y entretenimiento sólo disponible en el sistema PS4™.

Roughly translation of the bolded:

"Sony Computer Entertainment España (SCEE) has announced that PS4 has sold 134.000 units in Spain from launch to yesterday, Sunday 22nd of December. Also, the sales ratio is 4.8 times greater than its immediate competitor.

This now makes PS4 the best present this holidays and one of the most wanted products. It's expected that tomorrow night the number of PS4 sold will be bigger than 150.000 units. This huge success is making PS4 shortages in a lot of stores which will not be fixed until Jan 13th, when the new shipment will arrive to the country."

As if people who are unemployed didnt buy one or both consoles...

You already know how stupid consumist people we are.

 

[Mario007]

Just want to point out in the PAL thread it was posted that Vita did 7k in the past week which is incredible when one looks at the Xbone numbers.

First shipment numbers really don't tell that much though. Even Nintendo was able to ship over 3 million WiiUs during the launch quarter even though selltrough was something like 2 million. Both MS and Sony will ship as many consoles this quarter as they can produce. Next quarter is more telling,

So roughly 28K Wii U sold in spain?

 

[makingmusic476]

This is going to be ps2 levels of domination outside the US and some other markets like Brazil.

Knowing how much they are able to produce is also important.

[although I doubt MS managed to sell everything]

 

[Y2Kev]

Aye dios mio. Porque no Compran gran turismo 6. Kaz necesita un coche Nuevo

 

[Shin-Ra]

Like I said. Spain has good taste. They eat fucking tapas.

 

[Caronte]

Spain is behind Italy and Russia too

No it's not.

 

[Tenki]

So roughly 28K Wii U sold in spain?

They're talking about Xbone. If they aren't, Xbone is even more fucked in Spain lol

Aye dios mio. Porque no Compran gran turismo 6. Kaz necesita un coche Nuevo

LOL

[AngryMoth]

Any anecdotal evidence on the xbone's availability? Obviously the ps brand carries a lot of weight on the continent but even still those numbers are shockingly bad of ms if they aren't due to supply constraints.

 

[Mung]

Well done Sony.. Killing it

 

[Valkyria]

Aye dios mio. Porque no Compran gran turismo 6. Kaz necesita un coche Nuevo

XDDDDDD, but it's "Ay"...........hides from banhammer.

 

[witchedwiz]

Kakakakakakakakka
On a side and less hikarious note, given the predictament in the bod for microsoft gaming division, i wonder if there will be any ripercussion if this trend of ps4>xbone spreads widely into europe

 

[Steel]

so microsoft is flooding america.

That's pretty much the safe conclusion to draw here.

A couple of comments ITT seem to indicate supply isn't an issue - am on mobile so can't quote them easily, sorry.

 

[reKon]

I like these threads because I patiently wait for the first person to try to spin this so I can laugh at them.

 

[Mung]

Do you have data on whether the xbox one is out of stock in Spain?

 

[Atolm]

You can buy Xbox One everywhere.

 

[Haunted]

We'll see similar ratios across continental Europe.

Even worse in Japan.

Slightly more even in the US/UK.



With the WiiU out of the picture and the XB1 fucking up, Sony takes this console generation.

 

[Guymelef]

Do you have data on whether the xbox one is out of stock in Spain?

It isn't, there are consoles everywhere.

 

[fastford58]

MS focusing on the US may be a safe bet once everything evens out.

Kind of like the Mustang. Pretty popular US car that no one else really gives a shit about outside of America since it is under-teched and overpriced compared to Euro/Asian competitors.

 

[Crawl]

I have no met esteban and I hope to not meet him any time soon.....please.

 

[Steel]

Do you have data on whether the xbox one is out of stock in Spain?

Do you have data on whether the xbox one supply that's not sold out is five times the amount that is? Because I seriously doubt that's the case, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if microsoft diverted supply to the UK and U.S over Spain.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

I had to double-check that ratio. Unbelievable.

You can buy a Xbox One anywhere.

 

[theprodigy]

They're talking about Xbone. If they aren't, Xbone is even more fucked in Spain lol

heh
given that the PS3 outsold the 360 something like 3.5:1, this isn't out of the realm of possibility.....
:lol

 

[keit4]

This should surprise no one.

 

[inner-G]

Banderas is from spain. Conspiracy.
