PS4 & XB1 are guestimated to sell up to 12m & 9m respectively.

If they manage to sell that many I'm guessing the devs that are currently avoiding making games for next gen will begin to have a change of heart.

Nintendo are screwed by the looks of it

Yeh, I would also guess that as Nintendo won't be selling anywhere close to 100m like the wii, that all those lost Nintendo sales will go the the PS4 & XB1, so they could potentially sell 100+ million each this gen depending out how the marketshare plays out.

Just looked at vgcharts, and PS4 apparently sold 170k last week, while the xb1 sold 82k. I don't know how accurate vgcharts is, but there next gen figures did add up to MS's and Sony official figures a while ago.

The NPD results will be released tomorrow night, so there'll probably be more accurate numbers then.
 
I thought Sony would have sold a lot more than that to be honest.

what was it...10:1.....3:1...2:1.
 
Oh dear god not another PS4/XO sales figures thread.... :eek::eek::eek:

Thought for the day brought to you by the letter X and the number 4

Sony as a corporation are losing over a billion this year and having to sell stuff like the ereader and PC business off to stay afloat, Nintendo are in trouble in the gaming arena. XO selling OK but no where near enough and behind PS4 for all up power although designed to maybe appeal more to causal gamers and families. MS still making >$6b profit per quarter and have a shed load of cash in the bank.

Next move, MS buy Nintendo/pay a bucket load to tie up XO exclusives for all Nintendo IP, world goes, wow, didn't see that coming, sweeps up casual gaming market in one fell swoop with Golden Eye and Mario XO.

Excuse me, i'm off to gets some odds on ermmm something at the bookies. :)
 
If it's anything like those figures then 21 million new consoles out there in 12 months is good news for all of us gamers.

Not convinced by vg247 though!

There's a much more reliable method, just speak to a DPD driver when he's delivering to get an accurate view of sales numbers... /nod ;) :) :D
 
lol, was that Dave?...told me he delivered all of them so he did....seems a reliable source.

If the PS4 isnt WELL ahead by now theirs something is seriously wrong.

I'd call 3 million units by the end of the year well ahead tbh.

I don't even think the 360 had that amount of sales over the ps3 if you measured both 1 year after their release.
 
Although whatever the numbers until we're out of any supply constraint and both consoles are launched in similar quantities of major territories it's all a bit of a pointless conversation tbh.
 
I wonder if PS Plus is a big selling point for PS4, if so then MS really need to pull their fingers out and match it, it's not like they can't afford to.

the average person doesn't even know you get free games with psn plus.

they think it is basically like gold and your paying to play online and that's it.

i have to remind all my mates to download them or update them about when they change every month.
 
Ah fair enough, perhaps sony should state this fact in/on the box.

they definitely do need to market it better. it is on the box but how many people read the box properly? i never have.

they should make it that the games automatically download and install onto your system, or you get a pop up asking if you want to download your free games this month.
 
just saying Belgium has had no consoles since early November (still none in any shops as of today)

Xbox 1 hasn't even launched in 8 European Countries with no launch date in sight.

I have seen the PS4 but lack of any singstar support and not overly impressive graphics and poor media center capabilities I doubt I'll be rushing to get one tbh.

Oh and they are now selling PS3s for 140 euros so expect that market to explode...
