Damn... I figured PS4 would all but kill PS3, but I didn't expect it to be that final that quick.
My God have mercy on all you fucks with a Wii-U who didn't buy this
i was going to buy it but then i tried the demo and it just wasn't clicking for me
I bought the fuck out of that game day one
How long did the PS2 outsell the PS3 after launch?

Wow.
There is no way that Iwata can deny that the WiiU strategy is a failure at this point.
Well, there is a way, but involves fantastic leaps of illogic, rainbows, and animal sacrifice. We'll see in two weeks.
Need to see if the 3DS is down year over year in the US, like it is in Japan. Troubling times in Kyoto.
Vita is dead. Is it even selling well enough to clear current inventory? Cause that's the only way we're getting the 2000 LCD revision. It may be awhile yet before that happens.
I love the little bastard, but you can get your forks out and commence sticking. It's done.

Never mind.
Considering it's so difficult to tell the difference, I doubt the gap is bigger than 20k, maybe 900k Ps4 shipped, 890k sold 1k in shops 9k store returns(1%), but we really need someone with a protracter...

Help us with one more number.
Having a lot of XB1s on the shelves means that it had good supply and thus more opportunity for sales.
About a year. It took until Nov 2007 for either the PS3 or 360 to start consistently outselling it.
Geez..
I don't even know how PSP got to 70m with how poorly it sold over its lifespan. With PS2 selling millions in a quarter having < 250K of that from U.S.+Japan, I figure if any company can figure out somewhere to shove an extra 15m copies of a system, it's gotta be Sony.

With these angles I got 905k for PS4.

The Wii beat Vita?
Amazing what being a quarter of the price and having Guitar Hero will do.

Using above posted angles and assuming Green is 360 and Purple XB1, and using those known values as the base value for extrapolation
Are people just writing random numbers onto the segments... :/
Code:
Using 643 Using 908
Blue 306 318
Red 871 905
360 643 668
XB1 874 908
L Blue 154 160
Orange 491 510Are people just writing random numbers onto the segments... :/

yeah that's incredibly close
and just for fun, that also puts Wii at 151k
more like it clobbered the Vita
"December 2013 was the strongest month of the Wii U's life, with hardware sales of over 800k units worldwide during that period. While sales may fall short of our initial predictions for this fiscal year, Wii U's strong momentum will continue into the new year with compelling software such as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, and Smash Bros for Wii U. We are revising our forecast down from 9 million units sold to a more reasonable 7.89 million. There will be no changes to our current strategy. Please understand."

Is this some kind of new sarcasm? I could barely tell that the Wii U was still for sale this holiday.
You can't find PS4s anywhere but I still see the "Perfect Day" commercial 3 or 4 times per hour. Nintendo probably doesn't even want to toss money at the Wii U right now since it will only make their operating profits look even worse.
Don't forget his prepared slide with the logos of 5 third party games when asked the question about third party support.
so that would put us at 909k xb1 and 906k PS4.
EDIT: using XB1 number as baseline to calculate PS4.
Oh man, reeeeeaaallll close
Me? Lol, Didn't bother with Lost World 3DS though, and it didn't look like it was worth buying a WIi-U for it.

I see illogic and rainbows, but I don't see the animal sacrifice. Where's the chicken blood?

Wait...ok, now I need the PS4 number after that pie...because if it is only like a 5 to 20k difference between PS4 and XB1 despite supply vs no supply than big lol at the big NPD win.

I will happily buy a Vita then just for playing on the toilet.
Bad Monkey! Go in the corner and get some hay to cover it up.

So close. Maybe Sony should have waited till Q2 2014 to launch the PS4 in Asia.

This is the correct answer, PS4 being a great bang for the buck makes PS3 look like highway robbery in comparison.

5-10%
Is that all you gathered from the results? Here's what I learned:
1. Xbox One has plenty of supply in the US which makes me wonder why they delayed the launch from 18>13 countries and many other countries still has TBA release dates.
2. PS4 demand is higher than the supply and it's still in the lead in LTD sales in the US. It's currently available in about 50 countries.
And here's the stock situation in the US:

Do we have the PS4 numbers yet?
EDIT: PS4 and Xbox One numbers were very close this month even though the PS4 is sold out pretty much everywhere?
