PS4 to sell 12m units by the end of 2014?

Ps4 outselling 2:1 in MS territory.

Would be interested in hearing what UK sales are like.

With the Japan launch the gap should be a lot bigger than 25% at the end of the year if this keeps up.

Japan launch is in 8 days iirc, so Sony sales should pull way ahead in 2 weeks time

If this keeps up they may become multiplats.. like bungie...

Can't confirm these number yet but some are saying...

Wii U Dec 2012 (460k) > Jan 2013 (57k) = -88% drop.

X1 Dec 2013 (908k) > Jan 2014 (145k) = -84% drop.

If the figures are accurate, then XB1 sales practically fell off a cliff, while PS4 sales should be just under 300k which isn't majorly impressive in terms of the size of the number, but is massively impressive compared to the competition. It will be interesting to see hard confirmed numbers.

you do realise christmas falls in december? so sales should always peak around november/december time and then slump in january when everyone is broke?

therefore those 460K on the wii u and the 908K on the X1 are abnormally high figures more so for the XB1 because it had just launched as well.

everyones sales should pretty much dive after christmas and they should dive 2-3 months after launch after the initial launch craze dies down.

remember before christmas every ps4 in the country was sold, they were out of stock everywhere, now you can find stock this is indicative of all of the above.

now that we have a baseline figure for normal sales which is 145K a month for XB1, we can sort of predict how many they will sell this year, are those figures worldwide sales , USA or UK?
 
Its not really indicative of anything yet, though PS4 will still sell more, whilst XO is in such a small market ( compared to global PS4) it doesn't really tell us anything apart from what we already know, whilst they are both selling in the millions, then millions of difference doesn't matter as much, every ones making money.
 
Devs don't care, they will make a ton of cash deving for the XO, thats all that matters.

Investors will see profit, share rising, that's all they care about.

They are in teh millions, and still selling, this isn't WiiU territory. Like some think it is.
 
is their a 2:1 ration, ive seen quotes but no numbers, is that in every single territory, even the ones the vast amount of ones, where the XO isnt even sold in yet?
 
2:1 in MS territory so when PS4 launches in Japan and X1 launches everywhere else I can see the global figure being similar to that.

This is just NA in those figures. MS's home turf. If they lose this badly in NA, they stand zero chance in the rest of the world. It doesn't matter how many countries MS will launch XB1 in, as it will lose badly (more than in NA) in those countries.
 
hmmm, what where the numbers in sales in total then to this point for PS4 and XO?

What where the sales numbers for PS4 in Dec and Jan?

You do know Bungie did not take Halo with them, and that 343i is made up of ex-Bungie staff?

So I fail to see your point...

When the guys from infinityward left, they didn't take COD with them, but they went on to make Titanfall (COD:Real Steal). When Bungie walked away from MS & Halo, they went on to make Destiny (multi-plat).

Sometimes the talent is worth more than the name of the franchise.

It's not just a case of simply diverting consoles from EU or NA to Japan though, they're destined for a particular market before they're even produced.

There's clearly no real supply issues with them over here now anyway, the store I work in has 4 of them (and 5 XB1s I think) and it's a small one in rural Scotland; if there were shortages they wouldn't be sending them to us at all. If you want a PS4 and you live in the UK you can quite easily find one.

How come Belgium you have no chance before Mid March of getting one yet UK is oversupplied?

Your point still fails as titanfall isnt on a Sony console though...

So JUST in teh months of Jan?

Ill ask if you have them, total sales between them for NA since launch?
Click to expand...

Neither MS or Sony have released actual figures. Sony HAS stated they sold almost double, MS said nothing (which says everything) except XB1 has sold faster than 360 overall.
Sony also say they have sold more PS4's in NA in total (all months numbers combined).
