Impressive

Looks like price makes a difference.

PS4 had a 25% price advantage for 7 months, now x1 had a price advantage in November.

Well over 5.1m X1 sales just in the US, even with that higher price for 7 months, now less than 15% separates the top consoles in an apples to apples comparison, well done.

5 of the top 10 games are xbox as well, good job with the smaller install base.

Edit
@ ABizzel1, that's my point, as you put it, "the ball has been in Sony's court with a 25% lower price for 7 months", impressive that we're now looking at a difference of less than 15%.

[ABizzel1]

XBO was never doing bad in US, though especially after the SKU without Kinect. US was always going to be neck and neck between XBO and PS4, and when PS4 has it's first price drop things will be back in their court, and when XBO has another price cut it's going to be on top again. It's going to be a back and forth all generation in the US.

US 2020

XBO: 40 - 45m
PS4: 40 - 45m
Wii U: 15m - 20m

[Concertoine]

I doubt wii u will sell an average of 2 million a year in the US alone. Even with smash and mario kart 8 in the same year i don't think they hit 2 million in the US. You seem really generous with that prediction.

[SardoNumspa]

"US 2020

XBO: 40 - 45m
PS4: 40 - 45m "

LOL

Don't know if we should laugh or cry at someone that delusional.

And LOL at fanboys cheering on the ridiculously fake vgchartz made up 'sales numbers'.

So hilariously pathetic.

[ABizzel1]

@SardoNumspa

It took the Xbox 360 just over 7 years to pass the 40m mark (Nov. 2005 - Early 2013). And overall there were nearly 120m console sold in the US last-gen to this day.

2013 - 2020 equals 7 years. Even if you took the max 45 + 45 + 20 is only 110m consoles, so unless you expect a huge drop off in console sales in the US then that total makes sense.

The PS4 has already outsold the 360 in the same time frame in the US with a full month of December sales to go (aka high selling month of the year), and it's still at a max price of $400. The XBO is almost there, and will easily pass it in December where sales are usually up 2x - 6x October's sales for the entire month.

Don't know if I should laugh or cry at someone so stupid.

If the PS4 and XBO are already outselling the 360 in the same time frame then chances are they're going to sell similar if not more consoles than the 360 did in the US which would be in the 40m - 45m range.

Once again don't know if I should laugh or cry at someone so stupid.

[mikeslemonade]

Too things I want to point out:

1. It's not exactly a price advantage. When you are $500, you should be in theory $100 more worth than the PS4. So whether that is the kinect or the system power you are suppose to be $100 more value. Exactly like how the PS3 was suppose to justify the $600 price tag with the wifi, blu-ray, cell, and 60GB HDD.

So in other words price advantage would be negated. You never say a Toyota is had a price advantage over Mercedes. The Mercedes has the quality and luxury appeal to justify the cost. However in this case X1 failed to justify the $500 price tag and now it's $330 with two free games.

2. Abizzle, once again you are using flawwed projection to estimate future sales. Even by using your flawwed logic it would take the X1 4 months outsell the PS4 U.S. install base. However you're taking highest month of the X1 outside launch to project the sales. My prediction is PS4 will actually outsell the X1 next month in the U.S. because of the PlayStation experience and the VGAs. With Uncharted, Bloodborne, The Order, Street Fighter V etc. Microsoft was nonexistant at the VGAs

[ABizzel1]

@mike

What are you talking about, the sales I have for all 3 is based off the entire year (Jan 2014 - now), and logically expecting sales to increase over the next several years as prices drop and more games and content is announced.

You want XBO to be down there with the Wii U, but it's just not going to happen in the US. The only flawed logic is your thinking. PS4 was never completely destroying XBO in the US like it was everywhere else. When the kinect was removed sales were close, with the PS4 still taking the lead each week. It wasn't until the $50 - $70 price cut that the XBO was finally able to take the lead from the PS4.

I've went over the ENTIRE YEAR's sales to get these numbers and scaled accordingly.

I've explained this to you once before, but you want to hear and think what Mike believe's so I'll let you be, and go about my business.

[BeefCurtains]

As long as they both keep selling well enough to not tank, we are all in for some good gaming. I don't care who "wins", I think at this point it's safe to say that neither console maker has "lost", they are making money.

[ABizzel1]

@Concertoine

I know, but I think with more games and price cuts Wii U will pick up a bit with the core gamer at least. Frankly when you look at the price of all 3 console the Wii U offers no real advantage over the XBO and PS4 price wise, since you get much more powerful consoles and complete 3rd party support with them.

At this point a Mario Kart + Smash Bundle needs to be dropping early next year for $299, with Wii U dropping to $229 stand alone.

[Concertoine]

The question is at what point will ps4 and xbox one owners be buying a secondary console, and will it be the wii u?

The fact that they had a presence at TGA was surprising, and a step in the right direction. Its clear they've given up on the popularity contest but they'll still take a chance to sell their system.

Even with all the droughts and negativity surrounding the system, ten years from now all we'll see is the games and in that sense i think the Wii U will be viewed favorably.

[ABizzel1]

And that's Nintendo's only chance to strike. They need to make a clear case for the Wii U. 2015 is a great year for them and their exclusives, the final selling point is price, and they need to be as close to $199 as possible.

2015 is the proving ground for all 3 consoles IMO. Nintendo has to prove to gamers the Wii U is worth it, and they have the first party games down, they just need price, and more unique exclusive 3rd party games like Pokemon Tournament, SMT x Fire Emblem, etc... If they nail those 3 task then the Wii U will be just fine, if they miss a beat it's over for them, until it becomes like the GameCube and drops to $99 and people buy it because it's cheap rather than simply wanting to play their games.

Not saying it's a walk in the park for them, but I expect 15m to be an obtainable goal.

I've posted this before, but I'll do it again. If I had to guess final realistic numbers for all 3 I'd say.

PS4: 45m
XBO: 40m
Wii U: 15m

I put the PS4 on top simply because it's still at it's original $400 price point, and still selling well, while it took the XBO to drop Kinect to start getting close to those number and another $50 - $70 price drop to finally start outselling the PS4. But now the balls in Sony's court and when they drop price the XBO will be back in the Kinectless SKU position, so overall Sony still has control, they're just trying to milk the full price profit as long as they can.

[Magicite]

not for long!

[rxl209]

too bad x1 is flopping on the entire rest of the planet

[thrust]

not in the UK!

Who cares about the strange none English speaking people not me I can not understand them :)

[Geobros]

Its rare to see 2 Nintendo games in top 5 list. Nice job, impressive numbers for Smash bros, a game released on a console with few sales out there.

[llxKonanxll]

Good Numbers for the Xbox, Ps4 and WiiU. These holidays are shaping up to be lathered with great deals.

[Moonman]

Go Wii U! The $249 Wii U Target deal should help soon as well.

[slutface]

It was super close and not a landslide victory between ps4 n xbox.considering all MS has done practically giving it away for free .... Sony was NOT that far behind and is the most expensive on black Friday

[OOMagnum]

Yea cause 160,000 plus in sales is close. If the numbers are accurate.

[hello12]

I would say the numbers are even higher for x box 1 for November. Vgcharts had x box 1 sales at 6+ million near the end of October. And revised those numbers when Microsoft came out with the 10 million shipped. Microsoft only ships to 40 countries so it made know sense there was 3+ million consoles been held by retailers for sale. They have since the middle of November revisited their numbers and xb1 sales to customers is 8.1 million.

Microsoft at most would only need a supply of 2 million consoles.

The Microsoft store ran out of consoles to sell this November. They where even selling refurbished consoles to people, to meet the demand.

Vgcharts overtrack's PS4 numbers, it was telling even at the Playstation experience event. Sony had 14 + million sales showing on the screen when the conference started.

I wonder if thats 14 million sold to customers or shipped they are saying?

[reaperofsouls]

no they mentioned ps4 was the fastest selling console of all time ie even faster than the wii, which sold 16M in its first year therefore ps4 is 16m+. XBone has not even shipped 10 million yet

[Mr_Writer85]

"Vgcharts overtrack's PS4 numbers"

No they don't.

[troylazlow]

Wow! I never realized how dominant the Xbox 360 was in software sales for NA.

X360 2,316,077 (+88%) 507,190,954
PS4 1,951,814 (+6%) 21,515,435
XOne 1,932,358 (+22%) 20,692,393
PS3 1,532,328 (+75%) 324,488,176
3DS 1,355,264 (+5%) 48,424,497
WiiU 1,000,408 (+56%) 15,348,443
Wii 911,675 (+127%) 447,876,987
DS 407,754 (+89%) 345,655,069

[Letthewookiewin]

Enjoy it for now MS just watched PS Experiance. Xbox done...

[Lenrulesdaworld]

Lmao

[deadfrag]

Good to see more Xboxone been sell ,but lets not forget that Microsoft is actually taking a big hit in terms of profits i think they are actually taking high loses ...and people that brought the machine at release have all the right to feel cheated!

[Benjaminkno]

That's why you never buy at launch.
High cost, few games, defects. You should always wait a year at the least.
Launch sales are almost all hype, so why not just make your money?

[beerzombie]

You buy when you want Trip Hawkins said" you either pay with time or money" your choice.

[Gemmol]

Smash Bros Wii U about to pass LAst of Us PS4 sales in America in just 3 weeks...... That Sony owner is so true about sony 1st party games do not sell well.......people on ps4 need to support their first party more all the 3rd party games out sell 1st party games

http://n4g.com/news/1543674...

If Wii U keep this up in America, the sales in America can help it pass the Vita World Wide

Smash Bros Wii U did good tho, for 2 weeks worth of sales it beating back Call of Duty on ps4, Grand Theft on Xbox One, and many others like the Halo Collection

It did all of this with only 3 million Wii U owners, while Xbox One and Ps4 have over 5 million owners

Little Big Planet did horrible, this may turn into one of sony franchise that gets cancel soon.......this one major problem with Sony they could never keep a franchise fresh like Nintendo do, every game feels new even if it have similar formula......if Little Big Planet have another failure they may cancel series or not make more if it like they do to other series....I am just glad they finish Resistance series on the ps3 before they stop

When it came out, it was mario competition, it should be able to sell regardless of the schedule, you do not see Halo or Uncharted or call of duty stopping Mario Galaxy from selling when they all came out around same time

I did not expect Smash Bros Wii U to outsell Assassin Creed on ps4 too, it even out sell both Dragon Age Inquisition on Xbox one and ps4 together

Seems Just Dance met the Guitar Hero curse, its not selling as much as before, people moved on

Wii U seems to have the highest Attach rate in America

[Mr_Writer85]

"Smash Bros Wii U about to pass LAst of Us PS4 sales in America in just 3 weeks......"

Yet world wide TLOU retail sold 1.85 on PS4 compared to Smash 0.48 so who cares?

You forgetting the Sony sell games over PSN, TLOU was on £20 the other day so that would also increase sales.

"That Sony owner is so true about sony 1st party games do not sell well"

PS3 and PS4 versions combined have sold 7 million copies, the 1.8 it sold on PS4 is more than

New Super Luigi U
Wii Party U
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Pikmin 3
Lego City Undercover
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
ZombiU
Hyrule Warriors
Super Smash Bros. for Wiiu
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
Wii Fit U
Bayonetta 2
The Wonderful 101

Also Infamous and Killzone sold more than all of those games.

Knack sold more than Wind walker..

So yeah Sony first party games do really bad...

/end sarcasm.

[Gemmol]

Nintendo sold smash online too, please stop the excuses, and you look at the world wide but did not realize they did not update the numbers, you wrote smash at 0.48 worldwide, when they show this week sales over 0.700 in america alone, so its obvious that cannot be worldwide numbers if america alone did over 700k......stop making a big deal out of it, you make it seem like Sony can outsell Nintendo.......

I compare ps4 vs Wii U.....if you want to add numbers from last gen

show me one ps3 game that outsell Mario Kart Wii, thats right you would never find one.....it sold over 31 million before it got bundle......even with 5 uncharted games 3 on ps3 and 2 on vita, it still would not outsell the Mario KArt Wii.......so please stop bro.....check last gen or the gen before.....Sony 1st part do not out sell Nintendo 1st party......you can check even on the ps2 and ps1 and you will see same results.....and you know what your response will be after you see it......cause you will say the same thing every other sony fan will say which is.....all people buy is Nintendo games and nothing else........

lets not forget the DS Animal Crossing sold over 30 mill

Nintendo got a lot of games that sold over 20 million bro.....can you name one game that ever sold 20 million, that answer is no.....the highest seller for Sony was Gran Turismo it sold over 10 million.....yes thats right....they only had 1 game to reach 10 million sales......so relax over there man....I was only posting the numbers I seen so I can get a better view of the list

[Mr_Writer85]

I just listed 3 games that outsold most of Nintendos first party games you silly person :)

The Wii was a freak accident that had casuals to make up the numbers.

Notice now how those casuals have gone the Wii U is skinking?

And I never said Sony games outsold all Nintendo games, so please find where I said that.

I said Sony games do sell and they sell enough for Sony to keep on investing.

You have no idea so keep to your little fantasy world where everyone buys Nintendo games and consoles.

Though I suppose with the Wii U's tiny library that trickles new games I guess you Wii U owners have to rush out and buy games otherwise what else would you play?

PS4 owners have choice :)

[Gemmol]

@Mr_Writer go check your sales over even if they pass some of those games......none of ps4 first party pass MArio KArt Wii U sales and it been on the shelf on a shorter time.....if Smash is doing this well in 2 weeks of sale in just America, then with world wide in another week it will pass all those sony first party you name

if you really want to compare all nintendo 1st party games vs sony 1st party, Nintendo sold a higher amount even if you took out 5 or 6 games

[kakashi81]

I think the wii u will sale about 20-25the million before 2020.

[spacedelete]

you must be having a laugh.

[thexmanone]

Well at least it looks like we are done with the resolution gate. Now its about sells. Soon it will be about games again.

[Hakoom]

what was the price on blk friday for xb1? 50$? lol
no wonder it sold wel
