Microsoft Earnings: 1.2 million Xbox One's shipped in Jan-Mar, 5.1M total (3.9+1.2)
- Thread starter bob page
- Start date
Where do you live that PS4s are completely sold out? They've been solidly available on Amazon for over a month. At least half of the major retail stores I've checked have them in store and online.
I'm sure if Sony announced their sold-in to retail numbers that they would be close to 8 million.
Most of the countries they'd be launching in left would add a fairly trivial additional number to that. We might be looking at 500,000 a month when it launches everywhere worldwide, and that's probably optimistic since things are going to go downhill now that Titanfall is out (since it actually did less WoW in its Titanfall month, which is remarkable).
Xbox One isn't doing "bad", but because the start of this generation is unique from all other console generation transitions I can think of, the quicker start doesn't necessarily tell us the full picture. Next month is going to be extremely telling for Microsoft. If they start average 200k or less in off holiday months in the US, in virtually their only really strong territory remaining, it's trouble.

We need an emergency title change; should be 1.2M shipped, not sold.
Also, this doesn't really match up with the "5M shipped to date" figure they gave us last week =/

The 360 shipped 1.7m in the same quarter. (january - march 2006)

Not surprised by these numbers, considering they were giving away their biggest game away for free with a retailer price cut... the whole focus on NA is really hurting them on the global front. 400k a month compared to 1 million a month is a huge disparity and will only grow over time.
Sold-in = retailers
If they did that Sony would already brag about it.
It will happen this year but may change later on.

That is enlightening. Retailers were willing to buy 41.6% more 360's then they were XB1's unless people think MS is making less XB1's then 360's?

It's almost a certainty they're going to hit price parity with Sony come E3. Should be interesting to see how things go with both being the same price.
Maybe if you bend all the unknowns to one direction, maybe.

4.2 makes sense and has been suggested before the NPD came out.
Question isnt whether we think it's good, It's are MS and its division happy with it, As the 360 got them some great ground and now they'll be playing second to sony more than likely this whole gen, Very surprised MS went weak with the x1 considering how good the Xbox and the 360 was when they were first released.

The number they gave last week was til march? Yeah then it makes sense, they(the big 3) always give shipment figures in earnings reports.
You're right. I didn't read the "sold in". Anyway, it will wait a little until charts starts appearing in this thread. I love me some graphs

It's 1.2 shipped to retailers, it seems. This means MS has sold between 3 and 4.2 mil to consumers total. Considering Sony is at 7 million, we're looking at a possible 2:1 ratio worldwide.

Sold to retailers.... Again?
Desperation Microsoft....
Desperation Microsoft....
Its not just possible but more than likely. If not now it soon will be...
The 3 million was sell through. MS reports 3.9 million xbox ones shipped in 2013.
3.9+1.2 = 5.1 so bang on the money
EDIT: Damn this thread's haulin some ass lol
Yea, title definitely needs to be changed.
These aren't sold-through (to consumers) numbers.

The 0.8M is for the 360.

You're forgetting the Xbox 360 supply constraints, though. It was pretty low during the holiday season I believe.

800k on shelves?
I wonder how many they have unshipped sitting in warehouses. They are definitely making more then 400k a month.
Nah. I think MS are going to go price drop / bundle crazy at E3 and start moving this stock. A official $400 cut to the current sku seems likely. Maybe they replace it later in the year with a 1Tb kinectless model for 400 and keep the kinect bundle around at 500

PS4 still sold out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KXrQYWbbIs#t=18s
I just checked Amazon, Gamestop, and Target. All have them online, and at all stores in my area (Northern Virginia)

It's easy in the U.S. They're everywhere around here. I can find even find used ones at local Gamestops now.

Yikes.
PS4 is practically at a 2:1 ratio of sold to consumer compared to Xbox One.
Not looking good for MS.

I think that it's more likely to do with outside of the U.S., then with U.S. retail stores & online shops like Amazon.
They're not only sold in the U.S.
I was adding 0.8 to the 4.2 (3.0 + 1.2) to get 5M announced last week.
It seems the real shipped number in the first quarter was 3.9M, so I was wrong. I edited
He did say outside the US.

Yeah and it is certainly shipped to retailers, not sold through, going by previous wording.

Pretty sure quaterlies and yearlies normally report on shipped figures.

The 360 was supply-constrained well into 2006 though, and had RRoD issues which inflated the sales from idiotic people buying replacements rather than dealing with support.

Hmm sure but it does suggest quite a bit lower demand for XB1 at present
I suppose it's hard to get a perfect view on it due to the large sales at launch from both
Do people really think that in the same time Sony made 7M+ PS4's, MS only made 5.1M XB1's?
