Interesting, PS4 sales up and Xbox One sales down in MS' territory

GraveLord4485d ago

PS4 got a big shipment this week. Looks like demand is still limited by supply somewhat.

xHeavYx4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

Yes, also interesting that Sony somehow manages to sell more units even though supplies are more limited

amiga-man4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

Not looking good for M$, they can't allow this to continue to lose America would be a huge blow but other than releasing a kinectless xboxone to get the price down I'm not sure what they can do.

Even that won't make up for the lack of power in the xbox so may not change things that much.

badboy7764485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

This is the only way Microsoft can sell there console. By getting in Bed with

McDonald's
Doritos
NFL
etc...........

And Now Promotional agreements with Machinima & Youtube. Everytime You guys post Sales numbers you need to also Factor in How much Money Microsoft is actually losing/Spending on Marketing.

GusBricker4485d ago

Xbox One has sold less consoles, but has higher software sales and they're in trouble? Really?

amiga-man4485d ago

@GusBricker
Xbox One has sold less consoles

In a country they dominated last gen, that is not good no matter how you try and slice it.

FlunkinMonkey4485d ago

Truefan? Edonus? Kayle?

You starting to understand how supply and demand works now, yes?

live2play4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

Yea because when sony tells you. Without a preorder you will not fnd one because supply is limited so get one now fast!
EVERYONE regards it as truth

Buy when another certain company was having stock shortags everyone claimed they were only doing it to creat false demand

You guys are pathetic

And before you get all fired up. I am not saying sony is lying. Im saying you people are hypocrites

blackbeld4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

@live2play

And I'm saying you're immature.

I always laugh at thought of North America as MS territory.

From 1996 to 2001 the PS1 sold exceptionally well in NA, Sony owned NA.

From 2001 to 2007 the PS3 sold 3 times as many Xbox's, Sony owned NA again.

From 2008 to 2014 Sony lost it's dominance, so now according to the fanboys, NA is MS territory, lol

Sony = 11 years of NA dominance
MS = 7 years of NA dominance

Today The PS4 hasn't come close to selling like the old 3 to 1 ratio in NA, or 5 to 1 in the world.

Average:
PS4...490k per week into 53 countries
X1....380k per week into 13 countries @ $100 more

xHeavYx4485d ago

You forgot to mention that the PS4 is the only console sold out everywhere

FITgamer4485d ago

I don't see why you always try to use the consoles per country averages. It would make sense if they were all getting supplied with an equal amount of consoles, but they aren't so it isn't accurate.

BG115794485d ago

Didn't MS sold 3.9 million Xbox One?
Because when I had the NA and the EU they don't get close to 3 millions...
Are they selling in other countries that we don't know?

Bowzabub4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

You also forgot to mention that people weren't struggling to pay their mortgages in those years that PS dominated like that. US is finally starting to make a comeback and it will take some time no doubt, but those 3:1 numbers may very well be coming back sooner than later buddy.

saint_seya4485d ago

So your week average is worlwide interesting, i thought that Ps4 released a week later on europe, guess is good to avoid pointing that if you are a MS fanboy :)

Axios24485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

@ saint

Never forget

Sony CHOSE to put 100% of their effort into launching in North America first, because it's the largest market on earth.

You wouldn't wan't to see a US average, but if you insist:

US average
PS4...226k per week
X1....234k per week @ $100 more

Beastforlifenoob4485d ago

Get this through your head noobs. The best gaming company in the world is undoubtedly Sony. Thats why i have been loyal 100% since PS1

PS1 raped n64 (Both by using CD's and shear sales)

PS2 murderd the XBX classic and Gamecube (SALES)

PS3 faced a 90(0) steep climb and still again proved to release the BEST first party and third party support against the wii and 360 (sales did not beast because again steep climb for sony)

PS4 is destroying

Also the argument that sony shipped to 53 countries and xbx sold to 13 is crazy because if i have 100,000 units of a device produced I can only sell 100,000 units even if is ship it to 120 countries. Its just that ill ship less to every country BUT I WILL STILL SELL 100,000 units.

H0RSE4485d ago

@Heavy

It isn't sold out everywhere... I was just at Target over the weekend, and the guy had like 3 in stock, and like 8 X1's.

dantesparda4485d ago

@MylittlePony/horsie

Sup, coward, i see you're dumb enough to think anecdotal experience is valid, try again kid

H0RSE4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

@dantesparda

I don't "think" anything, I don't care if others think it is valid. There approval doesn't change facts.

Oh, and thanks for this awesome nugget of maturity and adulthood you sent me via PM, under a different username of course:

"Faggot ass fuck, suck some more dick, you bitch ass nigga and stop sweating companies you pathetic ass nigga/dumb ass fuck. Later bitch!"

Keep on keepin it classy...

fonger084484d ago

@HORSE wow... just wow. That sounds like the same 13yr old rant I got on Battlefield last night... good times.

Wow.. only 60k, it's gonna take a while for ps4 to overtake wii U's numbers at this rate.

Eonjay4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

Well, the 9% increase is either an increase in demand or an increase in stock. And sense there were no big releases, I think its fair to say its an increase in stock for the PS4. For the Xbox One we know there is stock so it represents a 20% decrease in demand week over week.

izumo_lee4485d ago

So that Xboxone sales lead in December was short lived. All the PS4 needs to do to expand on that half a million lead is to stay in stock.

T24485d ago

very true... the stock debate is about to be ended through january and february... Sony will continue to sell through their stock throughout february.....
supply and demand.

pyramidshead4485d ago

Reading your comment and smirking at all the people back in the comment section raving on about Xb1 winning the december NPD and they're all going to be eating some seriously delicious crowy crow.

January NPD is going to be a satisfying blood bath.

sebzhd4485d ago

Incredible PS4. She rules over one in US!!!
Just imagine 22 january, withe PS4 launch in Japan.
PS4 as PS2, PS1, rules until the end of the gen. Sorry and bye bye M$.

Seraphemz4485d ago

I am a huge SONY supporter. But i wouldnt want M$ to go anywhere, they are making SONY push farther and try harder. And I win on that end.

With no M$, why would SONY try hard to keep my business?

sebzhd4485d ago

Nintendo and smartphones are enough. M$ is useless in console video games. worst exclusives in the last gen, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz...
no more. Please new CEO, sell xbox to another.

PeaSFor4485d ago

competition is always good.

DivineAssault 4485d ago

M$ doesnt own any territory as it stands right now.. I doubt theres much they can do to mess with Sony now... I must admit that M$ humbled them & made em learn they can get their butts whipped but im sure they took it as a lesson.. Now lets all hope that PS4 isnt held back by devs trying to cater to the LCD

searcam014485d ago

Sorry, did not mean to disagree.

GotEnder4485d ago

i was worried that forced parity would be problem. after cod ghosts was 720p on xbox1 and 1080p on ps4 i stopped worrying.

GusBricker4485d ago

I'm actually shocked that Forza, Ryse and Dead Rising 3 have all outsold Killzone in America.

mhunterjr4485d ago

Why surprised about Forza? Not that these titles go head to head, but Forza has consistently outsold killzone. it has a bigger fan base.

Also Launching along side bf4 and cod doesnt do killzone any favors

GusBricker4485d ago

No reason really. I put it in because it was 1 of the 3 major retail exclusives for the Xbox One.

Ricegum4485d ago

You're getting a little desperate now, I can smell it.

GusBricker4485d ago

Desperate? Naw, more like I didn't think the Xbox One would have the attach rate that it does.

DevilishSix4484d ago

Why would you be shocked that Forza, Ryse, and Dead Rising ousold Killzone in America? Killzone launched along side BF4 and COD Ghosts so the fps genre was saturated at launch on the PS4.

I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

Lionsguard63d ago

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.

shinXseijuro63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

CrimsonWing6963d ago

Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
