That's a scary fucking picture. I like some of those games and it still scares me shitless in terms of where we're heading...
Your reasoning is ridiculous on so many levels.
The 1138 number works, if you take PS3 as being 12.4%.
Gives PS3 as 420K, with 1138K = 1158K or 2K more than 360+XB1.
Because no stock (of respectable quantities) was available for the rest of the month.

I think I did a mistake.... I forgot Wii.What are you using to deduce that?
Sony will likely not share any actual numbers until after their 'big shipment' this week.
Based on what we're hearing from all the channels globally, Sony is massing up one major shipment to :
- Asia launch countries ( 500k by mortimer's words )
- Spain ( 60k )
- US ( ???k )
- EU ( ???k )
Any new sharings from Sony will probably come a day or two after 20th December, where PS4 will launch in Malaysia, and the rest of their shipments probably selling out as they are.
Where was that? I just looked through all his posts.
It's almost 2 am here, maybe I should go to bed...
Oh, I should note I'm still using the 220K figure for Wii U.
I don't know if the number 232K posted by famousmortimer is closer - but it ends up being a 364% increase over October which doesn't fit with Nintendo's PR of 340%.

I think the 3DS is doing well but it isn't going to do DS numbers. It'll do half what the DS did at best unless something changes big time. That's pretty bad for Nintendo since they to have lost a ton of customers
That gap between 3DS and DS is going to explode. We only just recently reached a point where their paths crossed. Now is when DS Lite was exploding. 3DS is about to get left completely in the dust. Still appears to be a success until you look at Nintendo's own projections for it, in which case you can only view it as a failure. Ditto Wii U.
You are correct in everything you stated and the 3DS did fine. There's just some on here that only see things in extremes. Since it didn't break a million or outsell the brand new consoles, that somehow equates to awful.
500k for Asia? Isn't that way too much?
Edit: Forgot about Japan!
Oops, yeah typo.Shouldn't that be 1558?
340% is a very specific percentage change to cite for PR. If it was 350%, or 360%, or 370% they would have cited that.They said over 340%.
Why don't Sony just announce their numbers?

People downplaying the XBO results need a reality check: If the PS4 hadn't launched as well it would've been the new biggest launch month ever for a dedicated gaming platform. People claiming the death of gaming probably feel stupid right now, as well they should.
Err... not so much this. Calm down, playa.This entire site is.

Sales of Wii U hardware increased by more than 340 percent over sales in October.

so I don't think anyone should be mocking MS for the XB1 sale numbers, I think it did pretty good having in mind it's more expensive than PS4 and it got released a week later
If they announce the numbers when they are great, when they don't announce the numbers, the assumption is that they are bad. So they never announce the numbers, mostly to avoid putting the Vita in a bad light.

Why are you quoting things I've already read to me?From OP:

I'm very happy to see the consoles off to the amazing start that they're at, but frankly,I'm also not ready to start clapping hands for either one of these consoles until after they both break the 5mil mark.
I'm of the opinion that both consoles are still in their 'launch euphoria' stage, that happens to be far stronger than previous gens due to the existence of two highly popular platforms doing very very well, a very long generation before this & a ton of pent-up demand. An euphoria that both consoles won't shake off until they reach the 5m mark.
There's still a meek pessimistic ghost in me who fears that sales will plummet after they've sold out to their most dedicated core fans, whom I believe both consoles have at least 5m of them, easily.
If it was 364% they would use 360%, or at least use the more friendly number 350%.
Why are you quoting things I've already read to me?
340% is such a specific figure for PR to use. It's definitely between 340%-350%, otherwise they would simply say "over 350%." That would max it at around 227k, unless the range provided for October is slightly inaccurate.
or you could spin it like Major Nelson, lol
If this doesn't do the trick -- and it should -- there's one last ace in the hole: The Year of Waluigi.
500k for Asia? Isn't that way too much?
Because for months, they haven't done so, presumably because they were selling less than Microsoft. Maybe they're just in the habit of not doing so? Maybe they don't want it to look like any time they don't do so means a negative result? Maybe they just like their 2.1 million worldwide number to remain the one that's out there?
Who knows.
A little late

The 200k or so difference in favor of the PS4 is what I expected. It's gonna be mindblowing if XBone outsells PS4 in December.
Come on, Nintendo. Drop the dumb gamepad and show us the $99 price tag.
Even Major Nelson can't spin the Vita numbers.
Well you don't need to be mean about it!

Is that Tempest 2k on the Atari Jaguar in your avatar?
