Yep I agree, they will still be struggling to meet demand in NA and Europe come the Japan launch in March. I reckon Japan will get a supply of 600k or so, and sell through 500k in less than a week.

If you can find a day one edition xbone on the shelf ,I will pay you $1200 bucks for it.
Hahaha, alright mate. Might just want to pull out one, though.
Edit:
Does this apply to Europe only? If not, I am about to be a rich, rich man.
agree they are going to keep pumping us and uk ... and then europe and finally japan when they have things like deep down out ... (and asia / other terretories later ... latin america would depend on their tax situation etc)

Over-delivering, overpriced, overrated.....yep!
That could perfectly be the case. If PS4 is sold out in most (not all) retailers worldwide, then I would say this is indeed very good news. Very interesting weeks to come.
That's nice pulling your own dinner.
.
So true. XBONE and it's anti-consumer nonsense...
if i could take you up on that offer fully guaranteed im looking for a 400 dollars trade thru an ebay buy easy

Now I know you're just fucking with everyone lol. Good show.
For people unaware, Jack Trentton said this about PS3 at launch.
Do you think that Sony magically stopped producing PS4?
This gen I expect:
USA: close race with Xbone slightly ahead.
EU/ME: PS4 with a landslide lead.
Asia: PS4 lanslide
Jap: PS4 lanslide.
Total: ~40m PS4 lead.
And I in the mid 20's. That's good, does feel a lot better knowing someone is monitoring making sure everything goes well. Here in Sweden the risk of being robbed in broad daylight probably isn't as high as in Chicago (mean no disrespect, just what I think), but those thoughts always race through your mind. Glad everything went well though, the PS4 is truly worth every anxious moment I had before and during the launch.
Ah Sweden huh? Cool man I have a few close online friends from out there and you are spot on about Chicago. In certain area's the police do not even patrol because they get shot at, I am not kidding.
Anyways, enjoy the PS4! I know i will... And I'll see ya around Gaf!

I think the balance towards America is the right move. Winning those early NPDs is going to be very important for perception, that perception could be lost just by not shipping enough to America. sales from Europe are nowhere near as scrutinised

Yes? Why am I feeling such sarcasm here? Of course there are other positions, this is just one that sprang to mind as it's included as part of my Masters.
IF sold out in most retailers world wide?
lol you cant even find a ps4 at this point at ANY store. they don't stay. the back pre orders are off the roof
i don't think the Xbox one will take the lead this gen in US. but thats my 2 cents anyway

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Australia could have sold more if there was any stock. Couldn't find one anywhere.

Isnt the whole point of the day one edition is that its only available day one?
The fact that they still had a few on BF speaks wonders but Id be pretty worried if Microsoft still had specifically day one editions available.
Can I keep you on that? Tier 2 countries will be getting their day one editions too.
Gosh dangit Polo! Makin' a fool of me. Haha, good on you friend.

The 13-year ban on videogame consoles in Mainland China was only lifted earlier this year, and there are still a lot of restrictions on sales. I'm pretty sure SCE Japan/Asia knows what they are doing, and they aren't planning on a bunch of reverse importation to the Mainland considering.
agree .I feel US slight lead either way.
Uk is going to flip to sony .
Europe Jap Asia ps4
south america is totally up in the air short term long term evenish or song imo.

Can I have that in £?
No way PS4 will have 40m lead with XOne slightly ahead on US.
Brilliant!
If PS4 LTD is about 120million, then Xbox One will be about 80million. That is not bad at all.
Since E3, I don't think even hardcore Xbox fans will think the sales of Xbox One will be equal or close to PS4 unless suddenly Sony made huge mistake during the middle life of PS4. But it will not happen.
Have fun eating it yourself.
MS being 20k behind? Yeah right. Sony completed their worldwide launch to get to 2.1. MS's was completed. They didn't ship anywhere near another million for BF.
By the way, I work at a trucking company. The security briefings truckers called in to complete so they could pick up the loads were crazy leading to MS's launch with a company memo out warning about the work load from MS. Not so much after.
That's usually what happens and that is a good thing. I feel MS needs another kick in the rear-end to pick up the pace again..especially with more exclusives. It just seems they really let go of some interest in producing exclusives from 2009 forward with 360. They really need to pick up the pace and start getting some new killer IP's and even get Rare back into serious action. Why they left Rare on the back burner most of last generation baffles me to this day.
I would like to see a neck and neck race between the two consoles...the gamers benefit from this.
Wow, I expected at least one million in Europe, the fact it sold more in NA is crazy, guess they priorititized shipping units to NA, there can't be any other possible explanation, I mean it sold 250k in the UK alone, there's no way it sold only 450k in the rest of Europe and Australia. PAL regions, UK aside, got way too few PS4s.

I'm very confident at the notion that PS4 will be the highest selling next gen console. almost guaranteed to be honest. How much lead is up in the air ( expect 40m myself). Sony was able to match 360 sales after launching 18months later with $200 more box. Now, they are having the power, mindshare, price,timing...everything.
I think is more. 700K probably is almost the sales of day 1. With black friday, maybe 1 million.

PS4 will take the US 60:40.
Xbox One will sell a lifetime maximum of 40-50m globally, closer to the 40m mark. 25-30m in the US, 5-7m in the UK, 10-12m everywhere else.
The PS4 has a substantial lead in terms of mindshare everywhere in the world and it has an easier route to lower costs, which means a more aggressive pricing strategy can be called upon to boost sales if they start flagging.
It will basically be in the same position as PS3 in the US and UK, and a significantly worse position in the rest of the world than the 360 because they have a price disadvantage and don't have the time to market advantage.
Totally agree and quite mature thoughts. Much better than those posts expecting MS/X1 to be doomed~
Reasonable estimates, I agree.
With Wii U selling maybe 20 million only, is extremely unlikely that Xbox One sold less than 50 million.

Low number for EU/Asia but I think that was because they just did not ship enough.
