Just NA remember. I don't think it is going to sell 150% more than the 360 did (360 sold 750k Dec-March at release). Hasn't broken a million NA.
Huh what?

Microsoft says NPD figures reveal 909,132 Xbox One units were sold stateside during the fledgling console?s initial nine days ? that?s about 101,000 consoles per day, ?significantly outpacing the nearest competitor,? adds Microsoft.

Then again, those are sales in the U.S. alone

My entire circle of friends bought the xboxone on release or right after. They had literally zero idea about the drm stuff or anything else, just that they played CoD on Xbox so they had to get the new xbox to play the new CoD. Intrawebz people may have railed about the shitty decision making process for the xbox, but the CoDBroz didn't care then and don't care now. The system war will be much closer this time around, with the edge to Sony probably thanks to better reception in other countries and that is more or less it.

This. This is what I imagine is going to happen. Replace CoD with FF or Uncharted or whatever shit SonyBronys play and it's the same deal. PS4 should edge them out because it's 100 dollars cheaper, the Japanese eat home cookin' up, and not anything to do with the hardware.

Oh and I think Between Canada and Mexico Microsoft PROBABLY managed to sell an additional 91,000 XB1s.

They haven't announced that they broke 1mill yet but if they were at 900k nine days after release I think they'll far surpass 1.1mill in the next few months.

I'm still pretty happy with my 3mill PS4 and 2mill XB1 guess, but if I did it again I'd bump it to 4 and 3.

Xevy bought that fucking consoles per day thing hook, line, and sinker. Pathetic.
A: You're dumb

B: That's 909,000 consoles launched in the US. Not NA. The US. 50 States. Fuck, maybe even Puerto Rico. But I think it's safe to assume NA is over 1 million units.

C: If I whack-a-mole every retard post I'm going to be shit posting all night. I'm donesies for tonight. Let the negs flow and see y'all motherfuckers in Halo 5.

all of us were wrong and you gotta man up and admit it. xbone didn't have esram production problems, they have pretty much cranked em out. PS4's aren't raining down from heaven like candy, they are still hard/almost impossible to get. PS4 is outselling xbone worldwide but the difference is fairly small, I can't see any reason why it won't stay fairly even for the next year. There are no real standout launch games, the best ones imo are AC4 and NFS and the PC versions are best. the best exclusive is probably Killer Instinct, xbone only.

you know what game just blows major donkey balls? Killzone: Shadow Falls. Holy shit its probably the worst game I have played this year (i didnt play simcity or aliens to be fair). Gamestop is going to give $40 for most ps4 and xbone games next week, and I think I'm going to trade it in unfinished, I can't even remember the last game I didn't finish. I enjoy pretty much every game I play but this is the first in a long time that I have regretted buying, but luckily I bought it with amazons b2g1 promo so if gamestop gives me $40 it would pretty much have cost me nothing.

I found KIllzone to be a mildly enjoyable experience... nothing great, but not hard to finish either. That sucks.

My predictions weren't based on ESRAM production issues or anything.. just xboner sucking dick.

Edit: Looking at my predictions I'll stand by my 2014 prediction but i think my 2015 prediction is a bit far fetched.

Something tells me there is going to be a fuck ton of lawerying up in here after 4 months. Looks like the Xbone isn't DOA like some said and that brand loyalty and games really do matter over all the shit about graphics. I'm happy with my PS4 purchase but I'll probably end up getting a Xbone down the line also.

Is anyone working on a gizmo for the PS4 like that thing for the XBONE that allows you to use the keyboard and mouse for whatever game you want? I bought killzone again and I simply can't get used to playing a fucking FPS with a god damn controller. I dunno what the hell happened. I used to be really good with HALO and shit but apparently with age I have lost the ability to adapt back to a controller and turned retarded.

My favorite part of this thread is watching all the Sony fanboys squirm, and make excuses.

Column, you've been consistently saying embarrassing things in this thread, so you're excluded from any kind of smug hindsight or schadenfreude!

Tuco, do you all the sudden have a selective memory?? you were the one that infracted me when UT and I battled for 10 pages on if both consoles would be hard to find during the launch/Holidays.

I win


I'm sure it's hard to keep track since you infract me for god damn everything...
Get off my dick bro. You should be embarrassed you stalk me like the rest of my fanboys.

I still find it very odd that people even care so much what system wins or who out sells who. Like some weird dick measuring contest but posters here have no dick in the race.

I can only hope some healthy competition effects prices by the time there is a game I want to play that is only on one of the consoles so I have to buy it.
