Impressive numbers considering it's weaker and more expensive.
For both to do this it's crazy! What's the next big market for the bone?

Xbox One sells one million+ (sell through to consumers) in all territories worldwide

- Start date
It was like this for the 360 launch too, there was nothing but a handful of non hard drive core units available for weeks in London.

Pretty sure the 1 million per orders were worldwide not just NA.

Manufacturing sure has come a long way since the last launches. A million consoles in stores the first day is impressive on its own.
Gonna be interesting to see how next week goes. Stocking shelves is the biggest problem ether company have right now.
Sony has to do the EU launch and Black Friday so thats going to be fun to watch.

It means that people bought them.
Shipped means that a retailer bought them to have on their shelves.
This is the equivalent of "have you seen titanfall" for the sales thread.

I just pulled up my old text book:
"sell-through refers to the percentage of units sold in a period."
I think the term itself is confusing and means different things depending on what you learned.

WHOA... I didn't realize it was so low. WOW!
All in all I'm just glad all the "mobile is the future" people are eating some crow... for now. I hope these sales figures continues. Hopefully more on the PS4 side though!
Before the PS4 launch, everybody would think these are great numbers.
I, personally, am not purchasing an XB1 for the forseeable future, but competition is great. It'll keep both companies on their toes and in the end will only benefit gamers.
Edit: lol @ already starting the "Wait for X" meme.

Good numbers, well done MS
Will be interesting to see what PS4 does next week in EU. I think people are overestimating though seeing as UK is the biggest market and the best selling system was PSP with something like 180,000 units on opening weekend. But then, the 1,000,000 in 24 hours number came out of nowhere too so i may be surprised. I like surprises.

This. Blows my mind people thought consoles were done just because PS3/360 were old and getting long in the tooth. This generation was much needed and I really think a 6-7 year console lifecycle is better than 7-10 years. Hardware just can't take it towards the end.

If you didn't think Wii U was fucked before, this last week or so has to cement it.
Shhhh don't chase them away. It's what makes this thread funny to read.

For MS to suggest their WW launch is "just as good" as Sony's NA launch is simply disingenuous of them (and not for the first time).
Sony sold every machine available in NA and has months of pent up demand, this will be followed by an equally large, if not larger, European launch. Once again, demand is so great every console is accounted for well into the new year.
MS went with a WW launch, some territories received little stock, and I know from my experience today, consoles are still available in stores local to me (UK). By all accounts, it's a similar situation in the US.
Of course, this will become quite clear in the coming weeks and months, but MS were always going to put out a PR, claiming some record or other.
Edit, of course, no ones even mentioned Japan and the Asian market..............

The tough thing about the supply comparison is actually what Sony's doing, not MS. MS launched in 13 countries all at once. Their initial launch is pretty much done now, it's not like they're launching in Europe in 2 weeks. We don't know how much or how little Sony sent to Europe. Sony could have another million+ waiting in the wings for Europe, or they may have shafted Europe with a really small supply to boost the US numbers.
Who knows. Still interesting.

Worldwide.
And we know the extra units sold because it's very difficult to find a PS4 in stores right now. It sold out pretty much everywhere.
Why do people keep saying this? I assume that if they thought those were relevant they would have waited to release a PR statement tomorrow morning. I don't understand why they would undercut their own numbers just because.
Edit:
maybe they wanted friday news cycle possibly?

I remember it well. Got to the point where even those started to become hard to come by. I had hoped MS would make more of an effort to have free sale stock, especially with there being fewer tier 1 regions and with there reportedly being no yield issues...
Lol
Dude, we're talking about a system that has sold 1 million in 2 countries so far, NA & Canada (which hasn't even been released worldwide as of yet), Vs. a system that has sold 1 million in 13 countries. C'mon.

but what makes me mad is that they are so smug and insistent nothing is wrong. I get that its part of there job to put on a brave face but they need to take a page out of Sony's playbook and start coming off as more humble like maybe they kinda veered away from gamers and come back strong with some games that will attract people. No matter what anyone says mario in a catsuit in a 3D land sequel is not going to ignite sales. Neither is another Zelda title. They need to go beyond that.
Nope.

PS4 will breeze past all previous UK records. I expect over 250k sold on Friday and Saturday. Anything less would be a disappointment for Sony IMO.

London by any chance?
That's not really all that impressive considering this is 2 countries vs 13 countries. One of which being what is considering MS home territory. I can sort of see the rational why they opted for this approach, trying to get it out first in Europe and maybe wrest some of that control away from Sony.
But I think it will backfire, at least short term. Resupply now will be a trickle while Sony has a shot at launching with another 1m+ sales number next week. If we make somewhat of a leap of faith that Sony's claim of 3m consoles total by year end are indicate the resupply cap of both companies. PS4 install base could double XB1 in all territories, including NA.
Haven't seen much noise in the defective XB1 front though. That's nice for all the early adopters.

NPD doesn't give numbers. And considering Sony has been hiding from giving out numbers for a while to hide their failure, it would be pathetic if they start now. On the other hand, I fully expect Microsoft to fully reveal the results like they have done in the past.

So you kind of disprove the point you made... PS4 just broke records. It's like saying we shouldn't have expected 1 million+ PS4 sales in 24 hours because xyz past sales. How wrong we would have been.
PS4 is pretty much sold out, so unless they fucked up on shipping numbers it should outsell PSP. I walked into a store and bought a PSP on day one, no biggie.

True even in my area which I think kinda leans more xbox I see people, especially moms checking for there kids, asking best buy and target if they got any new shipments on PS4. I haven't seen a frenzy this crazy since wii/360 or perhaps even PS2 in 2000.
No it's not.
This thread is turning into Android vs iPhone sales debates now. 1 vs many.
I get what those are saying about the PS4 numbers...thats just one country. Its hard to imagine sales being lower world wide, especially in Sony's home town.

It was close to or around 2 million worldwide before the beginning of the year. The Wii U actually had a good launch. It wasn't until January or so when things collapsed.

I think they're going to be pretty even. I think it's going to depend on who has the better manufacturing and distribution chain.
We'll get a better idea of how each console is doing 6 months down the road when those constraints are no longer an issue.

I'm sure the PS4 figure will get leaked. No way it gets kept a secret. Too many people with itchy trigger fingers.
It's running through the pass-thru, lol.

Both companies say they're pretty much sold out, or so they say.
I agree that Sony's mindshare is through the roof, but if you only take the numbers into account, both companies sold 1m units worldwide on their first day.

Good people risk life and limb leaking good enough approximations of npd's estimates, I'm sure we'll get the numbers next month of all months.

Awesome news. Console gaming (and competition therein) is here to stay apparently.
