Xbox One sells one million+ (sell through to consumers) in all territories worldwide
- Thread starter Amir0x
- Start date
Matty2D frauded his way to a ban. This was inevitable. He was in the Sony repair thread saying nonsense too.
If 1 million people want your competitor's product in your dominant territory, "neither was better than the other" is something you should be terrified of. That points to losing significant market share if a trend emerges
.
I'll let November NPD be the judge of that.

Do you mean in a single country, or over the continent because neither are true. The PS3 did 600k across Europe in two days, and PSP holds the current Europwide record in the UK at 185k, PS3 is second at 165k.
PS4 will breeze past both of those records.
The OP. C'mon, dude.

I'm horrible at math, but nowhere near inept, its definitely better...The fact you didn't choose a focused launch where you have had a lead for ages, and opted for a diluted worldwide launch says a lot in itself,

Was 36 hours since launch in Australia.
Good show MS! Glad we will have 3 hardware providers this generation again, competition is s good thing.

If they can't beat 2 mil sold before end of the year then I think that would qualify as poor yields in this day and age, seeing as how 360 did 1.5 mil I believe.
No way. So you are saying more than 1 million consoles were sold and only 1 million connected to live. That would have been in the press release.
He couldn't get accurate information on the tech specs despite working there.

I can't speak for all of GAF of course, but I love it when you guys contribute here.
I went with PS4 for launch, though come Titanfall, that Xbox One is looking mighty tempting if my checking account has recovered lol.
Congrats on your launch!

First of all, congrats on the sales, it's a great achievement.
Second of all, addressing the quoted, I think to make the "yield issues" rumour go away that Microsoft would need to equal or out ship Sony in units by the end of the year.
In my opinion, if the Microsoft's worldwide shipment numbers are significantly lower than Sony's worldwide shipment numbers by the end of the year, then I guess that would lead credence to the "yield issues" rumour.

Oh yeah consoles aren't leaving any time soon.
Lol @ the possibility of Consoles becoming extinct.
It will never happen NEVER! Some may die(Sega Dreamcast) but there will always be someone to come in and take that someone else's spot(Microsoft)
Will we see another Console die? It's plausible. I got money on Apple coming out with a console to replace an eventual death.

I could be wrong but the way you're writing right now indicate that it's 1 million unit sold (shipped?) even with US.

I am calling it now and I will quote myself in the future if I am right.
After the Euro launch/ BF, Sony will announce day 1 numbers for Europe that will be between 1-1.5 million and will announce that they passed the 1.5 million mark in NA. So effectively selling 2.5/ 3 million in 2 weeks.

Don't you have to ping their server to get it to work in the first place?
lol what?
Ok - I think we can completely, officially wrap up the 'consoles are dead' argument, if both systems managed to sell through 1M+ in a single day. There's a lot of pent up demand.
Nintendo has to feel at least a little bad about Wii U though (but I'm sure they'll just wipe away their tears using one of the dollar bills from the huge pile of Zelda/Pokemon/Mario 3D World money that they've got...)

It's the launch period for goodness sake. You say this as if the PS4 and Xbox One have been out for more than a year in NA.
"Losing significant market share"? Based on less than 2 weeks of next gen console sales on top of the fact that both consoles are obviously selling well during their respective launch periods?
Wow.
Considering every console needs to download the patch, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. The number of patch downloads is probably a pretty accurate indication of sales.
You are right I was thinking of a record prior to the PS3 launch. The length of this generation is going to significantly help early sales as will the ease of production. The rest is a waiting game to see.

It could be based on the update though? Since they took the update off line that would be a good way of tracking sales I guess. They should be able to tell how many UID's have accessed the patch servers.

Impressive turn around by Microsoft. I would have to imagine about 700k was in the Americas, 300k in PAL territories.
Many people grew up playing games; more older gamers; so more gamers with disposable income. Kind of makes sense that the launches have been strong, but still very impressive and nice to see.

Wow! This makes me VERY excited for this new generation we are in.
Congrats Microsoft!
Congrats Microsoft!
Good sales for the Xbox One considering the price of the system. Their aggressive bundling seems to have paid off worldwide. It seems like it is fairly easy to find one now. This does seem like an impressive number in its own right and it's a nice testament to the health of console gaming as a whole. Let's hope Microsoft continues to shape their product in a way that is about playing games and doesn't following the later lifecycle of the 360.
When will you respond to that 30% FUD that you were spreading before the launch? Now you are trying to spin the sales numbers as well to make them equal to one another?
A large chunk of the sold consoles have not even been taken out of the box.
With all the spin I assume they would have said that in the presser. Maybe not.

*I believe the buttocks*
wouldn't the biggest determining factor on whether there was yield issues be # of units shipped?
if the XBONE is suppose to be the least desirable of the two consoles and still sell a million units what the problem is?

Its embarrassing really.
I've read conflicting reports that the X1 is still available. People can still find them at retail stores and such.

Thanks. I don't know what Sony's shipments are, so I guess we'll have to wait until the end of the year for that one to go away.
For clarity, we would not have said "sold-through" unless we had a way of confirming that with our partners. So of course we can get that data.
