So is the Xbox One sold out everywhere in the US?
Nah. But they did get in a pretty good opening jab.

Bleh, just more clever wordplay like that term exclusive that keeps getting thrown around for things that aren't exactly exclusive.
Good numbers as they will undoubtedly sell what they have at least by black Friday if they aren't sold out now but I would have preferred less wordplay after the double talk we have gotten since the reveal.

Try Sears and grocery stores next. Some grocery stores carry systems so it's worth a shot. Always call first. Good luck man. Don't know what else to tell you unless you want to go to Colorado.
No, but that doesn't mean it won't be sold out in your area.
If they can't get Liberty's European footprint it's pretty much DOA. Not sure why any Cable co would sign up to yet another potential OTT adversary bypassing their box....unless they thing this thing has no real threat and they'll take the money.

Xbone sold 1 million within 24 hours in 13 countries.
PS4 sold 1 million within 24 hours alone in NA.
Fuck comparing them. Both are impressive in their own right. Congrats to both.
(Before people get all pissy about what I said, the Xbone had to climb back up the hill and gain the trust of their fans back. That's pretty impressive and it's part of that Xbone thing above.)

Going by last gen logic PS4 outsold Xbone. NA > World
LOL
It's a tough market out there in Japan right now, but every cloud has a silver lining.
There should be enough Playstation hardcore in Japan that should make the launch itself a 'success', relatively speaking. And despite the move to mobile, there's been growth and increased excitement for western titles in Japan too. The big titles do sell well, and imo, it's slowly growing.

As long as PS4 stays cheaper, yes.
I would have liked to see what happened if MS stuck to their guns on the DRM stuff. I think they would have probably sold a lot more than people here on GAF expected.
So this means that PS4 has kept the lead over the Xbone for the moment in the US (which is the only market where MS has a chance of leading in this gen (outside chance for the UK)). Will be interesting to see Black Friday and Christmas numbers, but of course the main differentiator will be supply. Who can ship more consoles now to the end of the year. Anyway, good start out of the gate for Sony taking back a solid lead in the US after trailing there for the whole previous gen.

Yep. It's been decided already. Everybody go home. Nothing to see here.

At least analysts predicting smartphone dominance have had one big massive shit taken on them. All we need now is a console revival in Japan.
Japan is fucked.

Sony and Microsoft have raised the bar for console launch numbers. Unbelievable how many systems have sold.
How many Wii U's have been sold in the US so far?
How many Wii U's have been sold in the US so far?
of course
MS probably sold 500K in the US
200K in Canada
100K in the UK
and 200K elsewhere
~1.4m

Isn't it simply based on twenty-four hours having passed since the first country saw a release? Didn't someone mention it has been that long since the Australian release somewhere in this thread?

Right, so some niche Japanese games that won't even make use of that extra power will probably skip the Xbox because of its performance in Japan. But the big titles will be on both. Neither is going to end up in a Wii U situation. You'll be able to play the next Mass Effect or Grand Theft Auto no matter which one you pick.
Those niche Japanese titles would have been on the PlayStation even if the Xbox sold more worldwide anyway because their main market is domestic.

Deadmau5 stood there while songs from his albums played. Meh.
DJ Skee was spinning after that, he did okay.
PS4 should be past that by BF.

1 million for each in 24hrs.. Nice! Hope it keeps up for both. We need both to sell well.
They showed it on spike. He looked tired and bored.
Should have had Game roll through.

This isn't a positive considering the PS4 numbers. It looks like Sony will win back market share in NA and clean up worldwide this generation.

It'll be way past 2 million I think.
The PS4 could very well have passed that number already

I'm curious as to how much these guys can now send on a monthly basis.

You really can't compare this gen to previous ones. The iPhone and iPad have made new gadget launches mainstream events, not just something for the hardcore.
The Wii U's launch was strong historically speaking, but the PS4 and Xbone launches really put into perspective how poor it was by today's standards.

Online inventory thing only updates so many times a day at most retail and some only update once a day. Its incredibly unreliable to rely on that on hot items especially on launch day
Wii U launched in line with typical launches then just died as far as appeal. PS4 and Xbone are simply a case of easier manufacturing allowing a larger allocation at launch. Imagine the numbers the Wii could have done if it wasn't supply constrained for 2 years. Still way too early to predict the future though

This.
I am quite happy for both consoles! Lot's of people have been declaring videogaming dead with the WiiU kinda flopping and so many cellphones and tablets selling. Well, I think the PS4 and Xbone have proven that VIDEOGAMING LIVES! Live and long and prosper, videogames!

It's almost a 100% guarantee that
PS4 + XB1 24 hour sales in the US alone >> WiiU 1 year US LTD already
Which is insane.
I doubt there were meaningful PS4 shipments this week considering that the console is still sold out everywhere. I suppose that they're preparing an other 500k for NA for the BF week + 1m for Europe.

If Microsoft plays their cards right with a huge market campaign for BF and replenished stock, I think both could do it.
There were indications of a Bone cockblock shipment.

Didn't Gamestop say there are about 2.4 million people still waiting for a PS4?
Of course it's positive. It's a huge number. It's obviously not as good as Sony's in contrast, but that's unimportant - these are big numbers. Now the important thing is for both companies to maintain what momentum they can, and start focusing on bringing a consistent stream of high quality game. No much launch rush, thank God

I agree with this. And if its monthly sales pale to the PS4/One come the spring, it will be time to reassess its future. This Christmas will make or break the Wii U IMO.

Great number! and smh to anyone trying to call a winner at this point. Both MS and Sony will sell out ALL of their units this year regardless of how many country they launch. By spring next year we will know who have a longer leg, then we can come back and discuss.

Good start to both companies. Sony sandwich next friday though. Also in December there are other launch countries for PS4. You really wont be able to tell WW numbers til January.
MS won't.

If we didn't know the ps4 numbers this would probably be the biggest launch ever for a console. It's very positive for MS even in the face of being "beaten" by sony.

While I agree on chill with accusations. I'd just like to state that owning all consoles doesn't magically exonerate you from having preference to one over the other.
Good numbers to see, the console industry isn't dead yet. I have a feeling Sony has a good shot at taking this gen (It really depends on how much market share MS can get in NA. If they do anything less than the market domination they had here last gen, thats a pretty big blow to them) but a great start to the generation as a whole. Hope everyone is enjoying their Xbones, and hope the bluray drive issues turn out to be as minuscule as the blod stuff turned out to be.
Yup. It went firmly from something I would never buy and do my best to convince others to never either, to something I'll likely pick up in 3-4 years when the price has dropped enough and they've finally accumulated enough actual exclusives (aka not ones I can play on my PC)
I still think even considering it cost them a lot though too. I would have been squarely between the two (and perhaps even leaning towards the xbone) if it wasn't for that whole fiasco. But the fact they even were trying to attempt it pushed me far far into the sony camp for at least the beginning of this gen. And I know quite a few people feel the same way.

The November NPD report tracks sales from November 3rd, 2013 through November 30th, 2013.
So, we should get the first extremely precise report of USA PS4 and Xbox One sales on December 12th, 2013.
