Cool, thanks for the info. Can't quite see the PS4 hit 20 million by year's end, but 18-odd is certainly achievable. Expecting a "15 million consoles sold!" announcement at the PS event in December.
Xbox One? Dunno, 9-11 million by Jan? I really have no idea what they're on at the mo'.
Seems plausible, if i remember right they announced the price cut a week or two before. Sales probably died down waiting for the price cut.

It's going to be hilarious if PS4 ends up squeaking by with a November win. It's very possible.

Price is king. $50 cheaper and comes with a game. They should win nov & Dec.

I can't see that happening, unless GTA 5 Bundle is an absolute juggernaut like Destiny was for Sony.

Trying to insinuate that this press release is anything but positive indication of Xbox one sales is pretty short sighted. First off, what indication do we have that this is channel stuffing? I'm sure it is to a degree, but in truth, this likely more means that X1 is selling well, and that retailers are excited about its sales prospects, and expect it to sell well this Christmas.
The X1 has some truly great games this Christmas, and just seeing X1 dominate Amazon.com since the price drop (about 2 weeks), is a great sign for the system. It seems like that momentum is carrying itself beyond Amazon, which makes logical sense. $350 + Halo and some great exclusives is probably really tempting for people.
If you think XB1 is going to sell that much then PS4 will sell 25 million.
Europe bro.
If they were really at 9 million sold to customers they wouldn't be talking about shipped numbers...
It's GTA V and The Last of Us. It's not crazy to think that that bundle will do extremely well.
This was taken here in Hawaii early this Morning at a Navy Exchange Center.
Interesting. I noticed my military exchange here always has xbox ones in stock. They go away, then more come in. But PS4's rarely show up. They even have a larger collection of xbox one games.
I wonder if the exchanges have a deal with microsoft or something. Or maybe xbox is just more popular with military members.

I'm a fan, It's my #1 boo for gaming, but still sorry, this means shipped to stores right?
If I were MS, I would wait until I knew we sold more to human beings first, but well, yeah. Maybe they were just trying to thrust the momentum a little bit, cute, but it doesn't fool us!

It's more probable. It's very tough to change the trend of a console.

Except that the PS4 worldwide is at least 50% ahead. Sony have sold upwards of 13.5 million consoles to customers while MS have shopped "almost" 10 million units to retail.

Well duh, you have to appease the console warriors.
Who cares about $, or profit, when you can win NPD for two months.

We do all know that anytime MJ Nelson comes out with sales pr a couple of days before the NPD is released, it means bad news for the Xbox one.

Well 7+ million sold to consumers is nearly 10mil sold lol.
This is indeed a big improvement for Xbox One. It is a positive for sure.

Maybe at your part of the military exchange, but here it doesn't feel like it. The amount of Titanfall bundle is a clear sign they overstocked and haven't sold it.
Oh dear. Don't be fooled thinking you can reason with sales-age GAF. It only ever turns into another front of the console wars.

This is great. Is it from Amazing Spiderman 2?
Seriously. Companies do PR for consumers exactly like him.
Rounding up! Where as the PS4's 13.5 million rounds down to 10 million. That gap be closing.
lol.
Not really surprised that sales tripled in the first week of the discount. They announced these deals way in advance so people would have held off buying in october to buy the xbox one when the discount was applicable.
A percentage increase that large week-on-week may sound impressive, but it could also be due to a low base effect, and without hard numbers for context it's hard to tell which is which. In any case, November is going to be a good month for sales for both consoles, and the xbox one positioned themselves well due to their price cut, bundles and software.

Holiday stock perhaps accounting for the massive jump.
No. It'll be 10 million shortly. Right now it's presumerably less than 10 million. Buy yeah that's how they're hoping you read and assimilate the information.
The NES/SMS wasn't the 1st Gen, you know?
I dont know hence the question mark lol.
So if theres more then 1 million systems throughout stores around the world, what do u guys think, how would one estimate the actual sales figure, 8 mill maybe?
To be fair, when a person is constantly looking for signs, they'll always find one...
Exactly, my guess is their at around 9 mil shipped with 2mil on shelves for holiday season and 7 mil sold tru, it's a lot of spin by ms

Not really, just referring to local stores. I'm not in it for the fanboyish BS, just saying. I guess we'll have to wait until Dec. to get official numbers.
