The reports so far is that Microsoft was able to outpace PS4 comfortably during Titanfall week, in US and UK, if I recall correctly. So, no I don't think I am. I don't think the bump is going to carry over significantly into the following months though, so that is the bigger problem.

US reports? In the UK the xbone sales rose 96% for the week but we don't have hard numbers, and we know that ps4 rose by ~70%. Without concrete numbers I don't understand how you can say that xbone outpaced ps4. Not that I'm saying it didn't, I'm just saying we don't have the data to say for sure.

Edit: just saw the tweet. Stand corrected.

There was a tweet from someone who has seen the numbers that stated XB1 outsold PS4 for the week. Not a surprise though as XB1 should outsell PS4 right now. The big question is will the XB1 have sustainability long term or only spikes when big releases come out.

If PS4 keeps its average monthly sell rate Sony will be happy.

I think the PS4 outsold the Xbox One this week. He won't quote any sources and what we do have goes against him.

That's what I think.

The guy tweated it outsold the PS4. Both other people tweated the PS4 outsold the Xbox One. Then someone posted a source with numbers. I think he's just one of those guys that won't admit when he's wrong.

You mean the week we don't have percentages for or the week we do where he [editor of MCV where we get pretty much all of our UK numbers from] stated the XB1 outsold the PS4?

Who are the other two individuals and why should we put any stock in what they say?

I don't think MCV people would deceive people on this subject. And VG chartz numbers don't mean anything.

Nobody mentioned VG chartz.

I haven't seen MCV declare Xbox One outsold the PS4 either.

My local Target (95501 area) had a few in stock the other day. It was the first time in a great while I was even in an electronics store.

Back in December I was looking around and I never actually saw the PS4 completely out of stock.

 

[ViciousDS]

I have my doubts. They're always on amazon now.

True they are available to order as we speak

A different reason will be created for why the Xbox One will sell more than the PS4 in April.

Meltdowns in the NPD thread. Well they'll most likely be meltdowns either way lol

 

[dmr87]

Still scarce and overpriced here in Sweden, 4 months after launch. Glad I pre-ordered as early as I did.

If Titanfall can't do it, I wouldn't predict it unless a price cut or something similar happens.

Seeing the trends on Amazon, Titanfall gave Xbone a boost for a week, but MGS and inFamous put PS4 back on top the following.

PS4 could very well come on top.

I expect XB1 with TF bundle where you get TF and a kinect camera for 499$ to negate PS4 cheaper price.

I expect xb1 to outsell ps4 by minimum 150k or 2:1

I don't see this likely at all.

I don't see this likely at all.

MGS4 did with a console worth 600$ , I am sure XB1 can pull it for minimum a month when you actually get TF free with it.

 

[TS-08]

If Titanfall can't do it, I wouldn't predict it unless a price cut or something similar happens.

It will likely be several months before the XB1 has any chance to outsell the PS4 past March, unless there is a price cut. Not until its upcoming exclusives start to be released is it even possible.

They activate the hidden GPU in the power brick ahead of schedule

Are you talking about in America? PS3 had its price cut by then.

 

[Lace]

I renew my request for this gif to first have the Xbox logo on the hand, then Forza, then Titanfall, or some similar sequence of logos. The faucet has the PS4 logo of course.

Here you go, the transparency between images make it look rougher then it should.

It's good to hear your take on this beast

I will of course have to predict the opposite in the NPD thread given your history with guessing XB1/PS4 sales in the US thus far

Went into gamestop to finish off my infamous pre order and asked the standard question on how their supply was for both systems. Dude said they get maybe 10 ps4 systems at a time and its rare they last a day while they still had xbone units from the launch shipment.

A fuckin ton of Titanfall boxes on the shelves as well.

Four months after launch and stores are still sitting on stock from the first shipment? Doesn't sound good.

 

[Yoday]

I was at my local Wal-Mart yesterday. Honestly you'd be convinced the PS4 never came out. No consoles, no controllers, barely any accessories in general and not even half a dozen games in stock at most behind the locked shelf.

The Vita section was pretty much the same thing. But for entirely different reasons.

It's the same way at my local Wal-Mart too. I saw the system in stock once, and that's it. They don't even have a PS4 section yet. They simply throw the games, systems (when they have them), and accessories in with the PS3 stuff. Contrarily the Xbone section is quite large already, and tends to look like it hasn't been touched in weeks.

 

[Lupin3]

I wonder at what point they lose potential customers over availability. If it is like this up to E3 and MS announces some sort of price but, they've messed up.

You mean, like the Xbox One isn't even released in most countries yet?

 

[abaldwin360]

I have yet to see a PS4 box in a retail store.

I saw one in a store for the first time today.

 

[Pachinko]

I think Sony needs to just stop shipping consoles anywhere that they aren't immediately selling out and postpone launching in more territories until they get enough systems to North America and the UK.

In particular I'd love to see more then 8 systems a month ship to canada

 

[anexanhume]

Not quite was I was asking for, but great in its own right. Thanks

 

[Slashlen]

I saw my first one in months. Between that and the Amazon stock, I'm thinking Sony has diverted stock to the US in a big way.

 

[RE_Player]

I might pass by my local Best Buy tomorrow and if I do I'll take pictures because it's crazy. Last time I was there, about a week ago, they had piles of Xbox Ones at the front of the store and PS4 section looked picked over as if it were Christmas. The only games they had stacks of for PS4 were NBA Live 14, Knack and Just Dance.

 

[DesertFox]

Neither have I. I'm not entirely sure the PS4 actually exists...

Spoiler

Console gaming is dead, they said...

 

[Ecotic]

I saw my first PS4 in the wild 2 days ago at my small town's Wal-Mart. I noticed what others have said about the PS4 being difficult to believe it came out. The games (and not many of them) were tucked away with the PS3 stuff while the Xbox One had many more games tucked in with the 360 section, but at least they were prominently featured in the middle at eye level. PS4 games were on the top shelf in the case furthest away from the aisle.

 

[VinLAURiA]

Fine with me. Sony said PS4 games are eventually coming to PSNow anyway, so I'll just use that instead of getting a PS4.

Hell, considering they said the service will be available on non-Sony devices in time, it'll be nice to be able to play PlayStation games without needing to buy a PlayStation system; perhaps even on another console. Imagine playing inFAMOUS with the Wii U's Off-TV function.

 

[Lace]

Heh I attempted the original version but since you couldn't see the hand it looked weird. If anyone else has idea's for gifs shoot them my way. I want to have a few ready to go for the E3 hype thread.

 

[Apophis2036]

Lol ! If they sell 20 million PS4's in the first year it will be an incredible success for Sony. They deserve it after listening to customers / devs about the problems PS3 had.

 

[adamantypants]

Hot damn. They said it'd be readily available by April. Thirsty indeed. I too have yet to see one on any store shelf. I live in Vegas.

 

[ViciousDS]

I don't even want to know what it's going to be like when the destiny beta hits the wild and word of mouth causes insane sales......it's just going to get worse

How many units did PS3 and 360 sell in their first year Worldwide ?.

 

[FrunkQ]

I am sorry but am I the only one that finds the language in these reports hilarious?

All serious & businessy:
head of Sony’s PlayStation division, said the company is seeing robust sales in all the regions the PS4 is being sold.

Then rather embarrassing - sounding like your mother talking about computer games:
“Titanfall,” a highly anticipated space-age war simulation game

Then they sound like two jocks in a bathroom comparing cock sizes:
while juicing demand for Microsoft’s devices.


Or I could just be too drunk just now to be commentating seriously on these types of articles and am just finding everything just hilarious

GAF - you be the judge... but really who can take idiots that write articles like this seriously? And the world is being RUN by these people!?

 

[Alebrije]

You can come to México and get one at a beautiful price of $580 US , you can se PS4 in stock in most of retailers. Xbone is at $660 btw. and even today you can find one day editions.

 

[vypek]

I'm kind of surprised to see this since Amazon has had them in stock for days. I jumped on one when it was available thinking it wouldn't last long but I was wrong. They seem to have a healthy stock
