I have to wonder if PS4 dominates much of Europe and Asia (not to mention other parts of the world), how well the Xbox One can fare?

They can't thrive on NA alone, can they? Survive? Yes! Thrive? Doubtful!

 

[Steroyd]

Maybe. Don't get me wrong I'd have enjoyed if the PS4 launch was even bigger than it was. I wish Sony would have gauged the hype a little better though especially after E3's win. It's just amazing to me that The One has been able to keep up like it has given where it came from as far as PR. I just wish it could've maintained its original iteration. It'd probably sell even more.

They would have got steamrolled as bad as the Wii U if they did that, pre-orders are what changed MS vision of the console in the first place.

Ok, you are trolling. I can tell because you call it The One.

 

[stryke]

0Do we have ps4 or xbone numbers for us yet? Or even ps3 or 360?

Xbox One claimed "highest launch week" with ~65k units confirmed by NPD. No idea how the PS4 is doing.

In general, PS3 appears to be doing better. Last year COD sold better on that platform.

Both 360 and PS3 are well over 1 million in Australia.

am i missing here?

USA: Sony is winning
Canada: Sony is winning
Mexico: We dont know but i bet Sony is winning
UK: Sony is winning
Spain: Sony is winning
France: Sony is winning
Germany: Sony is winning
Portugal: Sony is winning
Netherlands: Sony is winning

What the fuck are you talking about?

Add New Zealand to that list - PS4 is kicking the Xbone's ass something fierce down here.

He seriously has to be, his latest replies haven't been making sense.

I've always called it The One. I just find it cooler than Xbone.

Dude, none of these markets matter! The ps4 is getting beat in the most important markets!
Oh man, this thread just turned awesome.

What doesn't make sense? The fact that I'm predicting The One to be ahead come next NPD?

with a capital T in the? Lol. Anyway I don't care. ho ho ho, merry christmas to all in the important markets. everyone else, someone get me a soda~

 

[Omnistalgic]

So Sony hasn't gotten another big shipment into the u.s yet? I thought Amazons and wallmart's restock we're significant. Did ms really ship that many more units?

 

[EchoChamber]

I wish we know the México numbers
Because here in mexico always was a xbox country

 

[NeoROCK]

I wouldn't be surprised even if PS4 sold more than Xbone in Brazil. heard that Brazilian flooded neighbor countries just to get PS4.

Wait until PLAYSTATION 4 is plastered all over soccer fields during 2014's World Cup in Brazil.

Sony is an official sponsor




Oh... and Champions League is about to start soon too.

 

[shem935]

I mean they have to win somewhere. If Sony launches in more countries (32vs13), out ships them in competing territories, and outsells them in all of those countries anywhere along the lines of this ratio then that is bad.

 

[bishoptl]

Well, yes. Sony severely underestimated the demand for the PS4 and supply has been lackluster to say the least. Microsoft did a great job anticipating demand for The One and it's been paying big dividends. Sales in countries like Spain isn't as important.

 

[Nightengale]

What doesn't make sense? The fact that I'm predicting The One to be ahead come next NPD?

That Xbox is "leading" in the "most important" markets.plural.

Nevermind that we don't even know with absolute certainty if they're leading in their home market.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Possibly, but the proof is in the pudding. I agree, the PS4 demand is strong, maybe the strongest we've seen, but Sony was grossly unprepared for it and they'll trail in major territories as a result. You'll see come January when NPD is released; The One will be ahead of the game, pun intended.

The receipts..


I can't wait to see them.

 

[stryke]

What doesn't make sense? The fact that I'm predicting The One to be ahead come next NPD?

No, the fact that you said "proof is in the pudding" before that.

 

[N.Domixis]

What doesn't make sense? The fact that I'm predicting The One Beaten By PS4 to be behind come next NPD?

Fixed

 

[TacticalFox88]

Oh, man I'm going to wait for your excuses if (when) Sony beats MS in NPD.

Has the ps4 price issue been fixed yet? I feel like it won't sell at all until it is.

 

[Graphics Horse]

No, the fact that you said "proof is in the pudding" before that.

That is the npd pudding which is eaten in January. Pachter is making the custard.

checks tread 1st page. Oh yeah this should be obvious europe is sony land next thread . checks latest page with tommy comments. f5 f5 f5.

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

Lol, I thought for a little while that this thread would lack someone, but GAF always delivers the goods.

Tommy, I need you to tell if us you're actually trolling or not... for your sake.

 

[Nightengale]

Nope, and it's not as easy as it sounds to fix these kind of stuff.

Anyway, grey market Ps4s will dominate the sales of Ps4 in the region.

I hope it's real. Makes it all much funnier to know someone out there thinks this way.

 

[shaowebb]

so what sold faster in 12 days. the 5K xbox one or the 54K ps4.

Only Major Nelson can answer that one.

There is nothing better than this sequence that can be said here.

Yeah I bet :/

Could they just leave a screw out of the assembly and import the almost finished product, put the screw, and claim it was manufactured in brazil? Probably wouldn't work. Stupid import tariffs.

 

[NeoROCK]

Europe is arguably a more important territory than North America.



$399 USD = $399 USD

€399 Euros = $546.55 USD

£349 GBP = $570.72 USD




Sony is making significantly more money on every console sold in Europe and Britain (in comparison to North America). You can bet your ass that all those European countries "count" to MS and Sony.

 

[babyghost853]

And I'm predicting PS4 will sell over 1.5m, lets see who is the crazy one.

Not manufactured, but assembled. That is what MS is doing in Brazil I think.

You can't be serious. Anyone claiming this for either console is either trolling, or has not been alive long enough to remember past console launches. The supply for both consoles has been orders of magnitude better than any console launch in history.

Maybe he meant "Australia will save Xbone"?

Unlikely tbh. Demand for Xbone isn't that extraordinary here despite the much publicized early stock sold through and PS4 lack of availability.

Cut him some slack. He's in the first stage of grieving. Anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance will follow shortly.

 

[DR3AM]

I was kind of surprised to see Xbox One in stock at Toys R Us yesterday. 3 days before Xmas.

 

[NeoROCK]

PS4 is winning in Poland as well.


The CEO of CD Projekt Red (The Witcher 3) is sad, because he can't even buy an Xbox One in his own country

I don't disagree with your point, but I hate when I see non taxed prices vs prices that already include tax. Now tax varies from a county within state, and the range is roughly 5 to 11 percent. So technically the USA price is 430 to 460.

 

[Graphics Horse]

And I'm predicting PS4 will sell over 1.5m, lets see who is the crazy one.

Ehhh. That would mean over 3million shipped LTD to north america, approaching 5m world wide. I'm not sure they have that capacity.

 

[Card Boy]

Australia!

I could walk in and get a Xbone right now or could of at launch day. PS4 got 'sold out' 3 months before launch at the pre-order stage in Australia and is still sold out until Feb.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

I've always called it The One. I just find it cooler than Xbone.

Sounds corny as fuck, and it makes me cringe... but i guess i can't do anything about it.

You are correct. I forgot prices in Europe already include tax, whereas North American prices don't include the tax.

But the point still stands.

$550 > $450

God bless Amazon !

two days free shipping + tax free (most states I guess).

[eddfromtheriver]

I think the XBO will outsell the PS4 on next months NPD... but only because it seems that MS has sent out a lot more boxes than Sony has in the U.S.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I think the XBO will outsell the PS4 on next months NPD... but only because it seems that MS has sent out a lot more boxes than Sony has in the U.S.

Or they're selling a lot less consoles which seems to be born out by 100% of the data so far.
