it also means that 908k is the absolute ceiling for Xbox360 demand in december. Everywhere that had them had a TON. Plenty of gaffers were projecting over a million, but the demand simply wasn't there. THAT'S surprising.
The PS4 is still a question mark, since Sony simply didn't have the stock to meet holiday demand.
Where?

One day I hope to acquire that much hate. It would give my life a new meaning.

Why should they rush MK and sit on a game that is actually ready? Seems like a good way to release an inferior product and lose money at the same time.
Forgive me if I misread. Your post isn't very clear.
It is inevitable.

Out of the 3 million, Microsoft in 2013 sold 60% in NPD territory, which is slightly (3%) more than what the 360 did in total last gen (57%). Looking at that distribution last generation, Microsoft supplied accordingly.
When evil wins, people hate it.

If nothing else, 3DS looks to be a big success all things considered. It's a shame the Wii U is anything but. It's probably time to finally combine the 2 and have next gen just be a portable devices that streams to the TV and/or have a tablet/smart phone like relationship where games work on both platforms through a unified eShop.

Canada's NPD sales figures are usually about 1/10th of US figures, for what it's worth.
Tracked separately. The numbers in this thread don't include Canada.

NPD tracks USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
They bought the australian GfK division a few years ago.
This thread is only USA though.
post like this should be frowned on here.

Based on the fact that xbox1 had a bigger Black Friday and a bigger Holiday, going by the numbers.

It's been said a thousand times in regards to the PS4 but you can't buy what isn't stocked.
Yes, it's unbelievable when you see these countries.

Nintendo will never do an Early Access type of release.

For the sake of argument, let's say they did lie, or exaggerate. Not sure what difference it makes. Shipped, sold, they can't out-ship demand but for so long, since retailers aren't going to keep ordering at rates they aren't selling. If Microsoft got ahead of themselves, it will be quickly self-correcting.

FWIW mortimer said a source told him they're a bit under the 3M number, by maybe 100K.
It's the same broken record from the same group of people. Every group of fanboys have them, just ignore it.
Great outing for lots last month though.
lol
With no big games, the PS4 still supply-constrained, and Christmas over with, I think January is going to be ugly for everyone.
The Wii U especially...yikes

Considering that those other 11 countries are smaller than Spain and France sales wise, and they couldn't even hit that number, I'd say that it was pretty unbelievable.
OK, thanks on both points.
I agree that it's a reasonable interpretation, but the wording is ambiguous because 9 of the top 10 overall games are found on new generations consoles.
Anyway, not important as we agree on what is meant.
Just shows how stupid it is to assume just because you see a box in the store it doesnt mean the product isnt selling.
lol, fair enough. We'll have hard-numbers soon enough, thankfully
Europe bought more PS3s only because PS3 was 3rd place in America....also I'm an American so naturally I care more about American sales. Sue me.
We'll see who wins the next few months in America. If PS4 can wins the next few months once it gets enough stock, then I was wrong, letting Microsoft win December didn't matter. If Xbox One wins the next few months, then I was right, they'll be riding that Christmas momentum up until Titanfall releases.
73k in Italy for example is impossible.

how did it have a bigger holiday with the PS4 outselling it overall in 2013? they were both only "out" in time for the holidays

Isn't it a bad sign that Xbone sales didn't increase over Nov, despite plenty of stock?
PS4's sales don't mean much since nobody can even buy the damn thing.

I really hope Nintendo gets it act together this year. I love my Wii U.

That's true for now, but to be fair, PS4s are still supply-constrained everywhere. Demand for it is still pretty high at the moment, but it remains to be seen whether the X1 will continue this trend of strong sales. I expect a strong bump when Titanfall drops though.
Wii sold 600k in its first december. It was supply constrained
PS4 sold >600k in it s first december. It was supply constrained
How is it any different?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Coming from someone who hopes both systems do well: It actually really doesn't. Let's be honest here--the core was going to buy this thing no matter what.
Had a TON of stock that was able to be replenished handily before the holidays. PS4 was supply-constrained heavily.
If it continues like this into February? Start making that statement about the US again.
Didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
Which one? There's so much spinning in this thread it's making me dizzy.
