If Sony wasn't selling in over 53 countries and just limited themselves to the amount MS has how do you think those numbers would be looking at the moment? And we'll see how well MS does next month without the crutch of the holiday rush.

I love Pokken!
How Ghosts managed to get top spot is beyond me.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
As long as something sells 10k or whatever, you can point to that as breathing and no reason to panic. If the Doctor comes in and says "It appears your console has contracted Dreamcast disease", everyones gonna gasp aloud and start crying.

Also I hope the PS4 numbers come out at like 7:45
THAT way everyone is distracted from the UPlay giveaway!
...until I brought it up, SHIT

They already diverted some supply. The US is not the end or be all market.

I wouldn't call it hate. With all the things MS has tried to pull this year, I'm not surprised people question their every statement. A lot of what they say doesn't add up as well.
It's a fact that the X1 sold well in Dec., but it's also a fact that the PS4 still leads overall in NA, Xbox's biggest region where the 360 sold 2 to 1 compared to PS3. And that's with very little supply. It also seems that there's plenty of X1s on shelves, so it really should have been able to do better.
I fully expected the X1 to outsell the PS4 in Dec. And I think it'll do so again in Jan. Once the PS4 is in stable stock though, they're not going to be winning much of anything. When the more mainstream audience starts jumping in, we'll see the real effect of the $100 price difference. WW it's already no contest, the Ps4 will dominate.
Sony doesn't provide numbers so we'd have to wait for a leak.
I want Dreamcast disease!
On a slightly related note, Nintendo's The Pitch contest found no winners.

So was Microsoft somewhat justified in not launching in so many territories at once, and keeping a large amount of stock for the major Tier 1 countries instead?
Sony is still in the lead worldwide, but it's not good for your competitor to be in stock, while you are sold out for large periods of time during the month no? Pretty impressive for Microsoft nonetheless. After the beating they took online for their policies, the higher pricepoint, it is still selling so well.
Will be interesting to see by the time TitanFall releases, what the numbers are like worldwide.

Should be clear the XB1 is going to do very well in the US. I still believe it'll outsell the PS4 over the next few years in the US, whereas the PS4 will certainly outsell it everywhere else (Europe, Japan, etc)
People with franchise loyalty have to get burned on a game before they stop buying the next one.
I bought Ghosts, regretfully, but I won't be purchasing this year's version. I didn't like MW3, either, so Sledgehammer making this year's doesn't inspire confidence, anyway.

It's strange people don't believe MS managed to sell 800k in 11 countries in two months. People need to give it up both console brands transitioned well both are healthy. Sony is still winning just as they were in the last gen worldwide.
If Sony allocated the same amount of PS4 stock that MS did with XB1...well I'm sure you know.

I think it would be the same. Have to remember part of the issue is stock with PS4.
Not the case with Xbox One.
Sony is ahead in total LTD for NA, coming out of a gen where MS had pretty much double the install base on the 360, with constrained supply.
XBone had December, will be interesting to see where it goes from here, especially if that represents peak demand and units available everywhere.

Yeah it doesn't matter that much. I just like to talk about numbers =). Q1 is going to tell us much more.

"Nintendo 3DS, the best selling system of all of 2013--not just December"
3DS won against Vita, Wii U and 8 year old consoles.
YAY!

It's not like there's no demand in other countries though. US is not the only market.
I work at an electronics retailer in Switzerland, PS4s don't last long here. Today, we got a new shipment of 50 consoles, we put out no notice at all that we would have them as not to get overrun. They sold out in a couple of hours regardless.

Do you guys think Sony will be able to provide more units in Jan then Dec?
Or will it be foolish to pack more units into NA due to the risk of demand maybe halting near the end of this month.... And instead they should spread out their stock equally in EU as much as NA

We won't get Sony numbers - Sony is the company that shuts off NPD numbers from the public.

Disappointing for 3DS. Down YoY for the month (should be up YoY overall though right?) but I suppose there was more competition this year than last. Still, all the aggressive measures...I mean last year had Paper Mario only :\
X1 and PS4 I think we don't have much of a picture yet. One is supply constrained and the other, well let's see how it holds up in January. I expect both to do well though; they just have to pick up the slack for the rest of the disappointing systems (3DS, Vita, WiiU...).

One of these two machines is $100 more expensive, which makes the way the Xbox One is performing insanely impressive no matter how one chooses to view this. One can only imagine how the landscape would look if it were the same price as the PS4. Maybe there'd be no difference at all, but the Xbox One's price is without a doubt a factor. It's the primary reason that I myself still don't own one of my own.
Maybe they like the products?
No, but it's making me want some crotch...I mean Bayonetta.
I fully expect Xbox One to win in January as well. Stock problems have been reported to this very day and with the Japan launch in February....its not looking good for Sony. The only think that can have Sony win these next few months is if Xbox One demand fall off a cliff.

You should have seen the Xbox one 3 million thread. People were posting pictures of stores with lots of Xbox ones in stock, and so many people were using that as proof for Microsoft lying. It was so ridiculous. I tried reasoning with them but they wouldn't listen.

I predicted 800k for wiiU. I think I failed in that. I predicted 1m for ps4 and 1.2m for xbo. If we keep my ratios. 900k xbo 750k ps4 560k wiiU. Have to go to bed. Lame npd.
Edit. Have to say I am glad Sony did not put all of its supply to us, even if it meant losing december ndp. And I expected over 1 million because one "insider" poster here said he was impressed with ps4 number, but these numbers are not impressive.
