The XBO sales in Europe continue to be overtracked. No way to sell more than half of USA sales, expecially now that in USA XBO cost less... Let's say 10.5 million for XBO by end of Jenuary.
The rest seem correct or overtracked by 50k-100k.
I completely agree,I was always saying it!
However,we already know that is overtracked from ubisoft,take two and amd statements...It's difficult to have some adjustments as microsoft keeps her tradition,i.e not being vocal...
It's higly unlikely to give us xb1 sales or shipments total...
It has do it someday...
Well, we know that XBO have ship MAX 12,000,000 LT (but 11,500,000 is more realistic)
Sony have ship 19,900,000 PS4, and it have sold 18,500,000, so, it have 1,400,000 PS4 in magazine...
I don't see XBO to have less console in magazine, considering that PS4 sell much more than XBO, and usually MS ship more than Sony.
Yeah,ms is knownly the master of the overstuffing the channels!
Ioi has said that it isn't impossible for an xbox console to have 1.5-2m on the shelves because of this fact!
I think that ioi was tracking it quite well,then things changed because he adjusted it dramatically up because of the ambiguous statement of ms in late november''we are going to reach 10m xbone soon''
I like how the PS4 and XB1 lines never intersect.
The gap is "closing" ;-)
Well, hopefully, 2015'll be good for Ninty.
As usual there are errors in the text, PS4 did not outsell XO by "601,529 units for the month"
I'm surprised the XB1 managed to sell what it did given all the bad hype. How did WiiU crumble, but XB1 survive?
Long live the king.
