Never sure how much to believe these numbers, but that's pretty good for MS if true. I would expect this to hold for the two weeks it has so far. Will it be different next week? (Is that Black Friday?)
It'll be interesting to know if MS can keep this up for the whole of November. At the moment PS4 is, what a million ahead in the US? If that's the case then I'm guessing a lot of people will go with PS4 as their friends have them. GTA and Far Cry 4 could also play a factor if Sony are pushing them.
MS has it's exclusives out there now, so those wont effect Xbox sales as much as people are bound to look to the upcoming releases. Will it return to PS4 being the top seller or will the Xbox price cut until January see it through? I really don't know, will be interesting to find out though.
US Overview
XOne: It seems all the promotions, the COD, ACU, and SO bundles, the anticipation for Halo: MCC, and the $50 price cut were the right thing to do in the US, because sales have more than tripled like MS said, so congrats to them. MS is doing everything they can to make sure the US market stays Team Xbox, and we'll see if by the end of they year will the PS4's 1 million console lead will last.
On a side note, I'd like to point out that once again I was the main person saying they have do the price cut to $329 - $349, because they would never outsell the PS4 consistently being the same price, yet I got tons of disagrees, now watch as the fanboys come out of the woodwork in support of this decision.
PS4: Still holding strong, but they're going to need a promotion of their own to fend off the XBO this holiday.
3DS: It's weird how there's such a big drop off, in sales. The US is now PS4 vs. XBO battleground and everything else is just there. The 3DS is still doing good, and Pokemon will make it's sales skyrocket just like the XBO, but it's weird seeing it this low in comparison to the XBO and PS4.
X360 - Still trucking along, and goes to show that the US fanbase still has a lot of Xbox love going for them, they were just waiting for a much better price ($350 vs. $500), and thankfully for MS they answered, before they were forced to choose.
WiiU - Sales have dropped, but Smash should pick them back up over the holidays, and a price drop MUST come after that. The Wii U isn't going to have a huge user base in the states, but it can still be a strong one, if they try.
PS3 - Tugging along.
Wii - Pretty much done.
PSV - Finished. Which is sad.
Overall WW sales
As I've been saying for the longest that complete EU dominance is the reason the PS4 has won this generation, and there's nothing MS (their only real competition) can really do to stop them. Sales have literally tripled for XBO in NA, but Sony's dominance in EU and the modest boost from JP will cancel out nearly every weekly sales win the XBO gets in the US, and almost always give Sony the win. By 2020 (IMO the end of this gen) I see PS4 and XBO being neck and neck in the US with over 40 million consoles sold, but then you go to EU and the PS4 will be the only console with 40 million sold, with the XBO being somewhere in the 20 million range. There's nothing they can really do to stop the PS4.
As for MS it's the push they've been wanting and looking for all year long with all the bundles and promotions they've tried. As I've said from the get go, one of the biggest selling points for the 360 was the fact it was always cheaper than the PS3 (usually $100 less and at most $300 less). Whenever they were the same price the PS3 sold in parity in the US with the 360 and had a large lead around the world. So when both the XBO and PS4 were the same price and the PS4 had all the other advantages the 360 had last gen like better multiplats, and mass appeal the XBO was never going to win anything costing more or the same price. The XBO also knocked another 300k off the Wii U's sales lead, and there's a good chance that by 2015 the XBO will have passed the Wii U, which again is exactly why I said Nintendo should have dropped price first, and launched Smash on Wii U first if they wanted to keep 2nd place for another year.
COD: AW taking 1 - 4 doesn't surprise me at all, but what does is that the PS4 and XBO have such a big lead over the PS3 and 360. Next year it's time to make everyone upgrade so we can move on into the current-gen full force. The 360 will be 10 years old, and it's time to say goodbye.
