November 2014 Worldwide Hardware Sales - PS4 2.6M, Xbox One 2.3M, 3DS 1.5M

VGChartz Writes: "November is the second biggest month of the year for hardware sales. December has always been the biggest month. With November 2014 worldwide hardware sales in lets take a quick look at how well each platform sold.

The PlayStation 4 was the top selling console of the month selling 2,570,514 units. Xbox One sales have lagged far behind the PlayStation 4 all year and Microsoft has done what it could to close the gap. Microsoft was able to sell 2,266,106 Xbox One consoles for the month, not quite enough to catch the PlayStation 4.

The other eighth generation home console, the Wii U, sold 521,187 units for the month of October. That is less than a quarter of its rivals, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Taking a look at the eighth generation handhelds, the 3DS outsold the PlayStation Vita by more than seven times. Nintendo managed to sell 1,472,870 3DS' for the month, while Sony sold 197,844 PlayStation Vita's.

Finally, there is the sales for the last generat...

[cellode]

Those are some amazing sales for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The 3DS sold great as well. Really sad to see the Wii U sell so poorly. Also surprised to see how well the Xbox 360 and PS3 sold.

[trunkswd]

I agree. Microsoft and Sony had a great November. Microsoft did everything it could to win the month, at least in the US.

[Cindy-rella]

Based on a few articles i saw on the internet for a few weeks about November sales for the xbox one and ps4 i really thought xbox one actually sold the most for that month. Xbox one had more sales in the USA and Uk and i saw articles stating that xbox one overall sales will catch the ps4s next year and all sorts of silliness.

I still cant believe that the xbox one wasnt able to outsell the ps4 with halo mcc, forza, and sunset overdrive while being significantly cheaper than the ps4. I saw deals where the significantly cheaper xbox one had a few free games bundled with the console and it still wasnt able to outsell the ps4 for the month of November.

The ps4 will have a few exclusive titles to be released in the first half of 2015 while the xbox one wont have any. The xbox one will have multiplatform titles that will also be on the ps4. I feel like the ps4 will continue to widen the sales gap given that itll have more games and exclusive titles to release in the first 8 months or so in 2015. I dont think microsoft will raise the price of the xbox one to match that of the ps4 because the xbox one is being outsold while being significantly cheaper.

[ArchangelMike]

So wait.. I though the November articles said that Xbox won November?

[vishmarx]

im honestly even doubting xbox sold 2.3m

sure it sold 1.2m in us but how and where in the hell did it sell 1.2m more without ringing any major bells?

[Svinya]

Archangel - It did in the US and UK

[No_Limit]

@vishmarx,

why is it so hard to believe the XB1 sold another 1.2 million more when you factor in it also was #1 in the UK, was released in 28 new countries just recently in September including the only console that is sold in China and is the Holiday shopping season? http://www.gamespot.com/art...

Also the PS4 sold about 800k in the US so it sold 1.8 millions more in the rest of he World and still relatively have about 600-700k advantage outside of the US in November. Why is it so hard to believe?

[Kayant]

@No_Limit
"was released in 28 new countries just recently in September" - With virtually no advertising or updates on sales estimate so far. Really those countries don't matter or add that much because even MS with their promises about delays being for localization of content don't deliver that to a lot of those countries. And going by updates from Spain and other EU countries doesn't seem like it's selling well or at least to the extend guesstimated by VGchartz.

[PeaSFor]

so to resume, MS gave everything they could with ridiculously cheap bundles and free games... EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink... and STILL failed to sell more Xbox One than the PS4?!???

wow... hey MS, consider yourself lucky that Sony isnt dropping the PS4 price, give free games and ridiculously cheap bundle like you did... or it would be a carnage.

[MannGamer]

@PeaSfor
You think MS kitchen sink??
In november only they almost sold 25% of their total sale. That is how bad sales were going. Sure it cost them some very good deals and probably a lot of money, but if they haven't done so, they could have said good bye to this gen.
I am not a fan of MS, I don't really like their vision for gaming (I Still don't trust them), but they manage to survive and hang on there. And by doing so a lot of people were able to get some amazing deals when purchasing brand new PS4 (The last of US and GTAV bundle, Destiny Bunble, 2 Free games Bundle, 1 camera and free game Bundle, for the price of a PS4).
This is where I welcome competition. Cause let us not forget too without the PS4, Xbox One would not be the console it is today, trying hard to get people to purchase it.

[Pogmathoin]

Vish.... So I assume VGchartz undertracked PS4, and inflated X1 by about 400%

[Army_of_Darkness]

Xbone is victorious! At this rate ms will catch up in noooooo time!... Oh wait, Nevermind... I could have sworn earlier black Friday xbone victory articles said so.......??

[Soc5]

What I wonder is how Microsoft would have done if they hadn't screwed up the launch of the xbox one. I was one of the people who was ready to buy the one and got a ps4 instead. If the launch had gone smoothly and they didn't mess up all the goodwill they had built up they would be killing it right now.

[SilentNegotiator]

@ArchangelMike

Microsoft's media buddies sure worked hard to make us and their investors think so with all of their "Xbox Won November" headlines.

And the gap widens another 300K, despite Microsoft practically giving it away.

[Foehammer]

Indeed

I'm especially impressed with the fact that there is only a 300k difference when one sells in just 40% of the others Countries.

So a difference of a little more than 10% despite a 60% difference in the number of Countries.

Good sales in the 41 Countries outside the US as well

Wel done

[RDF]

Well one insider said the PS4 lost Nov by 7 to 10k units. After that, another "Insider" claimed it was by a large margin,500k+. Yet Micro never did comment on it. They even had to bundle the UK with their figures when we were talking about the NPD. So going by their silence on the matter the XB1 probably bearly won Nov. Which is telling by what they had to do.

[kenshiro100]

@cindy-rella: I can't believe it either. Microsoft really screwed up big time because if a pricecut and their popular franchises isn't making Sony uneasy, then nothing will.

[badz149]

@Foehammer

I think you should apply for Greenburg's position at MS. With that magnitude of spin, he'll seriously feels threaten.

xbox fanboys logic;

PS4 released in like 100 insignificant countries, "the PS4 sold more because it is released in more countries, duhh..."

the xbone already released in China, (1/7 of world population) and still losing, "China is not a big market duh..."

there's no winning the arguments with you guys, ha?

[ChronoJoe]

@Cindy-rella

Indeed it will continue to widen the gap, same thing happened last year too, where the XBOX ONE actually outsold the PS4, but holiday sales mean little in the long run.

I wonder if it's in part because parents often buy the systems for Christmas, rather than the gamers themselves, buying them for themselves. It makes sense that way that they would automatically buy an XBOX ONE if little Johny or whoever previously played on an XBOX 360.

Either way, seems like decent numbers all round.

[jrshankill]

@Cindy-rella

Bit silly to think that Xbox One will have no exclusives in the first half of 2015.

[freshslicepizza]

both sony and microsoft had great deals, nintendo not so much. the xbox one had the best deals but the momentum of the ps4 carried on. plus sony has always had better market penetration around the world than the xbox.

whats interesting is what is likely sony loyalists being the ones who seem the most bitter that the xbox had a resurgence in sales even though the ps4 still sells amazingly well. that is something nobody can really rationally explain.

[Utalkin2me]

@Foehammer

Wow, my head is dizzy from all the spin i just read.

[sparta76]

I agree good month for all. I'm surprise Xone didn't outsell ps4 with lower price and all those free games

[stuna1]

The real question is what's going to happen once all the holiday deals are done! Will the Xbox1 just revert back to it's pre-holiday sales figures!? Because I'm sure there is ultimately a limit to just how games Microsoft's board members are willing to give out before they start expecting some type of return on it is a business afterall.

[breakpad]

GTA V helped alot PS4 in these no-AAA-exclusive times as with its superior port all GTA fans chose PS4 and its online part became huge success

[kingbain90]

Why are people acting like ps4 didn't have similar to exact deals?

Ps4 at $330
Ps4 with 2 games and gift card at $400
Based off these numbers Ms was right, they outsold ps4 in a few countries (more than just US and UK) however ps4 bing in more countries and dominating in Europe and Japan just puts it over xbox one for november.

[Utalkin2me]

@sparta76

I'm not surprised at all. I think it is more about people understanding and getting wise to MS. Then what MS has to offer.

Some people have morals and when a company does them wrong and tries to. Alot people tend shy away from anything that company has to offer. Then there is some people you can sell the same broken product to 3-8 times and they would defend it with their life.

[Utalkin2me]

@kingbain90

Sorry maybe i am mis reading your post. But what i got from it was....BOOHOO!

[LAWSON72]

I am happy did not do well, maybe Nintendo will actually put the thing on sale. I am tired of their limited number of retailers and weak deals. Sony and MS got those numbers by actually encouraging sales with great bundles, something Nintendo did not do. When both more powerful machines are almost the same price and with some of the biggest games of the year for free; why get a Wii U at full retail price? The price it sits at all year, while the other two have limited time offers.

[jholden3249]

Target was running Wii U Deluxe bundles with Super Mario 3D World and Nintendo Land for $250.

That's a fair price, and almost $100 cheaper than even the cheapest PS4/X1 bundles we saw this season.

[breakpad]

whoever bought Wii U made a terrible choice ..Wii U is dying and Ninty siting their fans once again and prepares another console on parity with other systems...while i like the Ninty's famous IPs i m happy that is loosing the fight with their sit gimmick moneygrabbing products(all their machines are underpowered and gimmicky )they deserve the fall because they didnt deliver to the consumer and tried cheap methods to gain profits..if MonHun (and now Yokai Watch)werent exclusive to save the sales a little bit , Ninty would have real problems now

[jaymacx]

@breakpad Wii U owners aren't victims of a bad choice... if the system continues to put quality software on the platform its good for us.. Let Nintendo worry about its sales. Because Amiibo is HOT now and could help them if the demand stays Hot in 2015. I have almost all the systems minus X1 and the WIiU hasn't let me down this year and 2015 looks bright. To be honest my PS4 was not getting played much after The LAST of US. Early 2015 will be good with The Order and Bloodbourne. I mainly play on WiiU and PC also x360.

[BDSE]

These figures are totally made up, it's utter nonsense.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

They're guesstimates. They have a fairly wide margin of error but are somewhat good for ballpark.

[BDSE]

No, they're made up.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

PS3 still hope for 100m (remember it's still at $250 retail or above for the models most people want). A man wishes Sony would have dropped the 250gb to $200 so as to have it half the price of the PS4. That would be a nice tiered model of sales.

[insomnium2]

I just bought a 500 gig super slim for my boy for christmas. The thing costs 260 euros and it was out of stock almost EVERYWHERE. Same with Minecraft PS3. Sold out everywhere. PS3 will have the longest legs any other console has ever had unless Sony axes it prematurely. If Sony makes a profit off of hw they will keep it on the shelves and pass 120 million quite easily.

[showtimefolks]

So much for Xbox one out selling ps4, it's sale numbers like this that proves that MS is actually competing for 2nd spot. But great sale numbers for all systems. It's just amazing how MS pretty much bend over backwards and gave huge discounts along with bunch of free games only to still not out sell ps4 in overall sales

Competition is a healthy thing just look at Black Friday bundles, so in any case we as gamers win

[Lenrulesdaworld]

but those sales worked they won the us/uk for november, i never expected world wide cause of germany, japan and spain. the ps4 just appeals more to that demographic. however they have put a dent in the gap of the two largest markets. if december is the same, xbox should be behind ps4 by 200k units in the us/uk. all those articles was only for us/uk being black friday is not an a worldwide holiday like that.

[raptorjacob]

@Len, who cares if Xbox won UK and us. It doesn't make a dent in anything. If these numbers are right there is a bigger gap between the two.

[Illusive_Man]

Sony only beat MS by 300K which is roughly equivalent to 3% of total Xbox One sales of 10+ million.

I don't find 300k significant at all and thats with MS being in less countries and Sony being a stronger global brand.

November was basically a wash if these numbers are anywhere near accurate. There was no statistically significant differences between MS and Sony global sales.

All Microsoft needs to do now is just blow out Sony every month in the USA and UK and put up decent numbers in other countries. The war will be close, not some slam dunk blowout like the Sony diehards think it will be.

[Losso-Oso]

Wow, so delusional! You're no different them those that say that the only reason the 360 reached the numbers it did, was due to the RRoD, forcing people to buy multiple consoles.

Xbots, Sonyponies, PCmasterrace, (i don't know the put down for Nintendo fans) guys are all the same, desperate beings trying to validate you resistance and choices with public acceptance.

So sad!

[Hello_World]

Where I live, MS were selling the Xbone for 330$ with a 30$ giftcard at Walmart....also including 2-3 free games. Talk about a fire sale! That's like getting a Xbone for less then 200$.

And they STILL lost. Close? When sold at the same price PS4 doubled Xbones sales.

[kenshiro100]

That's really cute.
Got anymore excuses? It seems like every time these numbers come up, an excuse is brought up.

[El_Assenso]

These numbers are really off. The PS4 has been hammering the Xbox One worldwide by around 250-300k every week in November worldwide so these numbers make no sense.

Why is this non-credible web-site not banned here yet? All it does is create a war of words.

[UKmilitia]

on another note alot of people who got ps4 consoles for xmas havent even been able to play them yet due to the hack being in its 3rd day and still no service.

Sony really needs to up there game.
i downloaded the 6.5gb unity patch xmas eve so i managed to play my ps4(got at launch)offline and enjoy the awesome game that is unity but all the people trying to create accounts couldnt.

[ABizzel1]

The Amazing:

PS4 has just been the all around success story of this entire generation. IMO it has cemented it's place as the console to own this gen.

The Good:

XBO has made a huge comeback as far as prior sales are concerned. The real story. But the real battle starts January, once we see if MS raises the price back up, and how sales will be effected. But for now, this is everything MS wanted and needed (minus the steep price drops / bundles / gift cards / and promotions loss). Although XBO had huge sales for November and likely December it's still not going to be enough to knock 3DS down for the year, giving the XBO a strong 3rd place finish.

3DS is holding strong in the handheld department for Nintendo, however, sales are going down considering it sold well over 2m units last year. Nintendo made a big mistake IMO by only launching the New 3DS in JP instead of worldwide this year. 3DS sold 13m it's first year and tracked over 14m the last 2 years, and for 2014 it's going to be a struggle to crack the 10m - 11m mark. But selling 10m units in a year is still good regardless, and should keep 2nd place for best selling hardware this year, but handheld gaming seems to be on the decline.

PS3 has been doing well all year, it's almost always neck and neck with Wii U in weekly sales (which is great for an 8 year old console, but not so great for Wii U). And based on current sales it's going to take 4th place as the best selling console of the year.

360 has lagged behind all year, but still put up admirable number for a 9 year old console.

The Wii is still selling, so I guess that's good.

The Bad

The Wii U had a slightly better November than the PS360, but the fact that 8 / 9 year old consoles are even close is just awful for Nintendo to have to see. Even worse the PS3 is going to outsell it for the year. That has to be embarrassing for a brand new console to get outsold by a 8 year old console. The only silver lining is that the Wii U sold better Nov. 2014 than 2013. If 2015 isn't significantly better for the Wii U with it's great line-up year round, then the Wii U is officially another GameCube.

The Terrible

The PSVita is dead, and the polar opposite of it's more successful big brother PS4. At this point Sony is just selling the Vita as a companion device. They might as well do everything they can to drop it down to a $99 price, and make it a PS4 Go, because that's what they're doing anyway game wise.

[combolock]

Why must it all be about PS4 beating the Xbox. Console gamers should be happy that the market is so strong that 5,000,000 consoles were sold in one month. But instead,.... "FUCK, Let me complain about Xbox giving away stuff to the consumer". Some of you are immature.

[3-4-5]

The Wii U selling 500,000 isn't poor. It is what it is.

That is 500,000 more people who own a Wii U who can buy games now.

Dev's for Wii U now have 500,000 more potential customers.

That stuff adds up quick and definitely matters.

Yea it's not XB1/PS4/3DS numbers but it's a solid month, especially for the Wii U.

That is like 1/8th it's lifetime sales or close to it....in one month....not bad....not great..but not bad.

[DarkAstronaut]

The Xbox One did not sell 2.3 worldwide. It did 1.2 in the US in November because of BF. There is no way the worldwide total (not including US) matched that.

The last I heard the general average for EU was 4.4:1 or higher in all EU regions in favor of the PS4. This was backed up by German, Italian and Spanish press releases.

This is a prime example of why no one takes VGChartz seriously.

[GribbleGrunger]

You're not looking at it right. The XB1 sold 400k more consoles than the PS4 in America in November. That means the PS4 sold 700k more consoles World wide than the XB1 during November.

@DarkAstronaut: I'm not doubting it's 'off', in fact I know it's off, but you're thinking there wasn't quite right. The PS4 has been undertracked by around 200k since the 10m announcement by Sony. They've also undertracked the PS4 in Germany.

Baring in mind that VGC is now three weeks behind, it's safe to say (adding the 200k undertracked) that the current sales of the PS4 will be around 18.5m - 18.7m

[DarkAstronaut]

I know that and it's still off. Like REALLY off. Like I said 1.1 million outside of the US (where they were having a firesale) is unrealistic.

[No_Limit]

Agreed Gibble,

people like DarkAstronaut nust be narrow minded to not believe it is possible that the XB1 can possibly sell another another 1.1 million more when you factor in it also was #1 in the UK, was released in 28 new countries just recently in September including the only console that is sold in China and is the Holiday shopping season. http://www.gamespot.com/art...

Also, like you said, the PS4 sold about 800k in the US so it sold 1.8 millions more in the rest of he World and still relatively have about 600-700k advantage outside of the US in November.

Pretty self explanatory and logical to me and you...but it is somewhat hard to grasp for others, for whatever reason.

[Hardcore_gamerxbox]

Last time I remembered vgchartz was so accurate when ps4 sold a lot more than Xbox one now it's not typical Sony fan boys

[BDSE]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[fermcr]

@DarkAstronaut

If I'm not mistaken, the only country in Europe that was announced that the PS4 is outselling the X1 4:1 was in Germany. Germany is not all of Europe.

[Spotie]

Germany isn't all of Europe, but why would anywhere else be any different?

Playstation is the more popular brand, and tends to outsell Xbox by about the same ratio in most European countries, historically; what would have changed that?

And with Microsoft avoiding announcing numbers at all... well, who knows how badly their asses are getting kicked?

[eyeofcore]

VGChartz heavily overtracked Xbox One and in usa by over 200k and PlayStation 4 by over 100K too while Wii U by 45K...

From information's that were released about state of European market, Xbox One is overtracked...

[SaveFerris]

Apart from the NPD sales figures for Black Friday, how come MS haven't come out with an announcement regarding units sold and/or shipped since their one year anniversary? Or did I miss it?
I know they did one at the end of October this year.

[RDF]

Thats simple really. The numbers were not what they expected.

[snookiegamer]

Why are we so caught up over Sales? It's the xmas holidays for Petes sake! ...Let's just enjoy our new consoles/games!

Instead of carrying the concerns of INVESTORS/SHAREHOLDERS?

*I only dropped in because I'm waiting for my new X1 to run through all the updates. OMG!! all 3 of my current (PS4, X1, Wii U) gen consoles look great together, and I tried running PS4 through the 2nd HDMI socket...and it worked...kinda ;o))

[Ps4andxb1]

Oh look.

It's one of those moments where the vgcharts are wrong again because the xb1 and the ps4 have done nearly the same.

Let me guess.....xb1 overtracked and ps4 undertracked?

Smh.

[DarkAstronaut]

VGChartz is always wrong, always.

One month they said one of the Borderlands games sold 400k, when it sold over 1000k according to NPD.

[RDF]

It was founded by a guy named Ioi or IOI. he was banned from GAF for misleading and outright false information. He then created VGChartz.

[Kayant]

Hmmm it's a fact they do that. Afterall how the hell do they not update their guesses when Sony officially announced 10m which wasn't updated for like 2 weeks.

[averagejoe26]

Actually...Yea

They rounded up incorrectly for the Xbox and rounded down incorrectly for the ps4.

Did you go to school?

Stop it with the fanboyism, please.

[LAWSON72]

Stop it with "OMG VGchartz is fanboys cuz they rounded wrong". It just sounds stupid. You people try to hard.

[dantesparda]

Yet you're the one that sounds like he's trying to hard and sounds stupid denying facts.

[BDSE]

It's hard to take a lecture in fanboyism seriously from someone with one bubble....

Just saying.

[LOL_WUT]

Impressive numbers form both Microsoft and Sony can't wait to see the sales for this month ;)

[MRMagoo123]

I'm sure MS are pleased with the boost to sales but I really can't imagine they would be happy with the fact they were practically giving away the console and still didn't beat PS4. The massive influx of sales will be over come January I will be interested in seeing how the sales are then, my guess would be back to normal with 2 to 1 for ps4.

[LightDiego]

Consoles in general are doing great, where are the "consoles are doomed" people?

[DoublePlusGoodGames]

I have to admit that I was one of the people saying we wouldn't see another major console but that was because, after six years, Sony and Microsoft were twiddling their thumbs while Steam, Amazon and even Kickstarters like Ouya were starting to steal mindshare.

So happy to see I was wrong as my living room has never felt more alive. It's like 2001 up in this house!

[SmielmaN]

Bub up for you Diego. Congrats for not pouring more gas on the sales war fire.

[Revengeance]

Both PS4 and XB1 did great numbers.

December will be interesting. PS4 will probably take worldwide again.

[DarkAstronaut]

"December will be interesting."

Xbox One will take December NPD, PS4 will take worldwide.

I think the PS4 will resume control of US Febuary and for the remainder of 2015.

@mkis007

Unsure about January, December has been much closer based on small pieces of evidence. The PS4 should be much closer to the Xbox One in December than November. As for January and Febuary, I'm just giving the Xbox One the benefit of the doubt. The PS4 could take December and January though. Febuary and March is all PS4 and from there on.

[mkis007]

why not January?

[Ikki_Phoenix]

WORLDWIDE is what matters not npd

[ScorpianusNoir]

VGChartz are never going to properly report the PS4 numbers but well done to MS. Good numbers all around, well except for the Wii U.

[koston3647]

If we all refused to accept VGchartz as news back in 2006.....

I think we should continue to reject this site and its report

REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY REPORT ON TOP....

[hiawa23]

Good numbers for both consoles. No matter what MS does some haters going to hate.

[slutface]

And this every effort done by MS to sell the xbone....basically prostituting it on every corner to sell cheap .... And they still couldn't get passed ps4 $399 price tag lol

[Sm00thNinja]

Ok can we stop acting like Sony didn't have such great deals over the holiday too! I just got my nephew a PS4 and Destiny and a game of my choice for 350 as a bundle ! SONY wasn't sitting idly by....

[slutface]

sure ps4 had bundles with games. but xbox had bundles with games AND a price reduction. ps4 was the most expensive out of the 3 companies and still outsold xbone. someone at MS must not be happy at the worldwide sales.

[ABizzel1]

The common XBO bundle was $330 XBO + Assassin's Creed Unity & Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

The official XBO bundle was $330 XBO + Assassin's Creed Unity & Assassin's Creed Black Flag + $50 Microsoft Store gift card + the $100 off trade-in PS360 promotion. aka $230 + 2 games + $50 gift card with the trade-in of a PS3 / 360.

The common / official PS4 bundle was $399 PS4 + GTAV & TLoUs.

That XBO bundle was a steal and a complete giveaway. You could find cheaper PS4 bundles in December, but they were store specific and nothing Sony ever did. That XBO bundle was an official sale by Microsoft, that's the difference @Sm00thNinja.

They did what they had to do to get their sales up, and it worked, but at a cost. But like I said for the longest the XBO has to be cheaper than the PS4 for it to ever compare in sales, my point has finally been proven with facts for all the fanboys who disagreed (although the 360 proved my point as well).

[ainTgoTTime2bleed]

''November 2014 Worldwide Hardware Sales - PS4 2.6M, Xbox One 2.3M''

Translation to reality: xbone 2mil and PS4 2.8Mil;)
it's lolochartzz after all.

WTF.
NO.

[ScorpiusX]

Way to go , well done.

[ZorinInc]

I bought a second PS4 (white) and first time Vita slim in December.

Already own a Wii U and no plans to ever get a Xbone.

[slutface]

goodness me too! i wouldnt even dare touch one!

[HeMan76]

Sad you will miss some mile stones like Quantum Break,Halo,Gears of War,Scalebound,Crackdown and so on :(

@MasterCornholio

Did I say something like 2015? or did I insult him or try to convince him to buy an XO? I have respect for his decision I just said sad because I think those games are gonna be mile stones in the industry which is some of them like Halo and Gears of War are already mile stones and have no doupt for the others.I ignored you boy never mention anything about what I say with your comments again please:(

[MasterCornholio]

Only Halo and Quantum break are confirmed for 2015. And if he has didnt get an Xbox One its because he's not interested in those games. There's no point in buying a system if your not going to use it. Which is why he's not missing out on anything.

The Xbox One isn't for everyone the same can be said about the other two.

[MRMagoo123]

Mile stones lol I don't think it means what you think it means.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

How do you know what's a "milestone" (lol) or not, months before you even touch it? And why do you end everything with a little sad face?

[Ra3030]

So in one month the Sony PS4 sold at 2.5 million units which would be about 25% of the total Xbox One sales not just for the year but since it's release at 10million. How's this even possible and how do the Micosoft Execs like Aaron Greenberg spin this after being out shouting and posting pics about how much better the X1 was doing than the PS4? I guess we won't hear a word from him for a while plus he already said all that can be said about the X1 until "next Hoilday Season" when Microsoft has all those exclusives coming out which begs the question How could Microsoft put themselves into that position with exclusives? It's not like Microsoft is Sony where they can have "no games" for their shinny new console and have none for a year yet out sell there rival almost 2 to 1. Maybe the new guy running Xbox Games is not so good or clear on what they need to do.
Idk maybe things will improve over at Xbox I hope so. And they have done well being DudeBro central maybe another Forza game is in the works for a Feb release so they can say they have another exclusive out but the last Forza didn't sell so well let's hope the next one will.

[DarXyde]

Great numbers all around. I can't help but really respect the power of the PlayStation brand. I really expected Xbox One to just take November in its entirety.

I wish the Wii U did better because really an awesome console, but at the very least, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are looking great.

[LAWSON72]

WiI U was bound to have a bad month, why buy a console not on sale with no great bundles, when the other machines had both?

[ABizzel1]

It had a great bundle, the problem is it was priced higher than buying the console with just 2 games.

I don't know what's going on with Nintendo, but the shareholders need to start firing a bunch of their top execs, because the amount of stupid and cluelessness going on there is getting ridiculous. The game designers are finally achieving on the console, but it really doesn't matter because the business side is failing in every way possible, which means their games are stuck with low sales due to low install base.

They need a price drop down to $229 March 2015 to capitalize on the great Q1 - Q2 exclusives they have, as well as tax return season. They need a Smash and Kart bundle for $299 to get the majority of borderline Nintendo fans to finally make that jump. And that holiday season they need a huge Nintendo bundle Nintendo Land, 3D World, Kart, and Smash for $299.

They're in a worse boat than MS was with the XBO earlier in 2014, and they're doing absolutely nothing about it. They need to be fired and replaced.

[JediHunter66]

Good to see Xbox closing the gap, competition means the gamers win with better games!

[Skankinruby]

Lol closing the gap? It has to outsell it first which it hasn't done once yet. I. November alone even with all the hype, huge promotion, amd price cuts ps4 still extended its lead 300k lol

[JediHunter66]

See this is the problem with fanboyism, so Sony has a lead right now? Thats great! What Sony fanboys fail to see is without healthy competition you're going to get garbage games because Sony will get lazy thinking they have a lock on the player base. I never understand why people want to see a console fail so bad. Fanboyism and "brand loyalty" are completely stupid.

[MasterCornholio]

You still didn't explain this.

"Good to see Xbox closing the gap"

Your claiming that the Xbox One is closing the total sales gap between the two. Facts have shown that the PS4 constantly outsells the Xbox One and thus the total sales gap between the two has been increasing. A fanboy is someone who doesn't accept facts and fabricates false scenarios to make himself feel better about his system which is what your doing by claiming that the Xbox One is outselling the PS4.

Here's the truth, the sales gap between the two is increasing. However despite this fact both systems are great and worth your money. It all depends on what games/services your interested in to choose one over the other. I own a PS4 and I know it's ahead in sales but I don't claim that the Xbox One I'd a bad system. Heck I won't stop anyone from buying one because they have every right to buy what they want.

[ABizzel1]

@Jedi

Show me one thing about his comment that was fanboy, because everything he said is the truth.

To "close the gap" the XBO has to begin outselling the PS4 Worldwide which it has yet to do in months going on a year now.

The XBO is finally selling well like the PS4, which is good for both. But show me an example of the Sony "getting lazy" and these "garbage games" Sony made when the PS2 and PSOne were dominating the competition.

Don't speak out of ignorance.

Having 3 healthy consoles is good, because it causes price wars between the 3 making consoles more affordable for gamers, and features and services improve by learning from one another. On the other hand that splits the market, and forces gamers to buy 3 different consoles, 2 different handhelds, and a gaming PC to play everything, and often leaves games unoptimized to their max potential, and inconsistent game releases.

Having a single console dominate is good, because it gets almost complete developer support (only a fool would skip the console with 2x / 3x the install base of the competition), better optimized games (as games would be ported to the other platforms). On the flip side there's a "chance" hardware could cost a bit more (most likely a $100 - $200 premium), but you'd no longer have to buy 2 other consoles if there was a monopoly.

There are benefits to both and cons to both.

[kstap33]

Monopolies don't work. It would be bad for everyone except shareholders. Wake up.

[Vasto]

Gratz to Xbox for the huge improvement.

[Ikki_Phoenix]

still behind playin catch up
and while selling ok the ps4 is just selling more

BB ms good luck next gen

[Ninver]

Great sales for all consoles. Cant wait for The Order 1886.

[DemonSlayer420]

Me too, The Order in February followed by Bloodborne in March. I'm taking time off work to play both games and I really can't wait.

[SmielmaN]

You guys hit the nail on the head. Those two games look awesome and will be here in a couple months. Can't wait to see the order. Could be a great story (hopefully!)

[HentaiMasterRace]

Sony needs to do something about the Vita, it's selling worse than the Wii U(that says something).

[brew]

I think their estimates beyond NA are way too high for both systems. Those sales are crazy.

[Flames76]

Only a 300,000 difference between the 2 and the PS4 is in 59 countrys while the XOne is only in 43 countrys.Nice job XOne with dominating america and almost worldwide even with it being in fewer countrys.Thats just amazing only Xbox can do that.Still good job to both console the market is healthy no doubt.Now just ninendo just needs to be a software company and CEO's in the gaming indusrty pay need to be cut by 50% and the gaming market will be perfect.Sorry but no CEO should be making $50 to $80 million a year its killing the gaming market

[Claudinho69]

xbox fans said only usa matter though

[blackout]

The USA is the only place where every company in the world want want a peace. Americans love to spend and know other country can hang. Ask Sony why they finally launch there game system first in America. Money don't lie.

[DemonSlayer420]

This is great news for all parties involved. Nice to see more gamers upgrading to next gen consoles, bigger gaming communities are always welcome in my opinion. MP games benefit tremendously which is good.

[cluckey07]

Didn't Microsoft claim victory for November? Or what was it only Black Friday weekend that they claimed victory for?

[xilx]

They did for November, but only for US and UK, not worldwide.

[brew]

They won NPD , claimed UK , and said they also won some more countries but would say how many or which one (lol). They didn't want to open that can of worms.

They could not claim wolrdwide victory against the wolrdwide juggernaut.

[kstap33]

Perhaps you should actually read the articles instead of headlines. There's great info in there.

[MeliMel]

Wow great numbers for both Xbox One and PS4.

[corroios]

Only Black Friday, the WORLD victory belongs to Sony, lol.

[Simmo3D]

Didn't NPD already state the sales, but now we all think VGChartz is correct... SMH

[MasterCornholio]

Only for the US but not the rest of the world.

:I

[horndog]

It hurts! It hurts so bad that MS with their great bundles and deep pockets can AFFORD to put out good deals spanking the s**t out of the ps4 in NA and UK in November and breaking the ps4's streak. It sold so well that it broke a record. Ouch! The PS brand has been around much longer and its never done such a feat. MS thank you for the awesome deals at your expense. We love them and assure you that millions did this Christmas. Good job to Sony too.

[2pacalypsenow]

I'm sure sony has done that twice ps1-ps2 the have the record for 2 of the highest selling consoles of all times.
And broke it's own record hence the phrase "xbox history"

[2pacalypsenow]

Let's see what aron Greenberg says about this...

[Neo_Zeed]

How sad for Microsoft... even selling cheaper they could not win.

That means they got dominated by Sony for an entire year. 12 Month killstreak FTW!!! :)

[ironmonkey]

sonys perfect launch equals perfect sales. no need for change for a long time. it makes sense. the other end ms did everything their budget gave them it worked just not enough. millions lost.

[smellslikeralph]

Fanboyism amd ignorance sure sucks in gaming. I cant honestly believe the stupidity comments on n4g. Cant one person be happy xbox is selling.

N4g comment are starting to really blooow.

[Neo_Zeed]

Ignorance is supporting Microsoft's damaging of the industry. The industry will be better for everyone if they are gone.

[BattleAxe]

If there was any doubt that the Vita is a sinking ship, then these numbers should make for some new believers.

[Ch1d0r1]

PS4 dominance continues.

[MadMenX]

Who cares about anywhere other than where you live when it comes to sales\market share.

Xbox won my region, so Im content.

[quenomamen]

and how is Cambodia this time of year ?

[MadMenX]

no clue, which is my point, not the sharpest tool in the shed?

You sound sad, why?

[n4rc]

I find it hilarious when people pick and choose when to believe vgc..

We will never know worldwide figures for the month and either would they..

Take it all with a huge lump of salt..

[Hello_World]

Where I live, MS were selling the Xbone for 330$ with a 30$ giftcard at Walmart....also including 2-3 free games. Talk about a fire sale! That's like getting a Xbone for less then 200$.

[kingbain90]

Based off these numbers Ms was right, they outsold ps4 in a few countries (more than just US and UK) however ps4 bing in more countries and dominating in Europe and Japan just puts it over xbox one for november.

[quenomamen]

Guess the number of Mammaws out buying X1's for little billy was not as high as expected.
maybe MS should of thrown in free Rascal coupons instead of free games.

[GokuSolosAll]

Lol, Vita selling 200k and Wii U at 520 k. Kinda sad for Wii U.

[Hakoom]

so ps4 stil crushed xb1 after all these bulshit articles claiming x1 wonn nov
12 month streak for the ps4 \o/

[H1t_Monster]

Everyone is speaking Xbox won us and UK,but remember the last 11 months the ps4 has been outselling Xbox in us and UK. Even winning Nov in those 2 countries they are still behind in installed base in US and UK.So who won what again?I say when your console of choice has the most installed base in us or even UK, then you could shout Victory. But so far ps4 is installed in more us and UK homes.So again who won the us and UK again? That's what I thought.

[MadLad]

How about the children leave the comments section so we could put this supposed "war to rest" and just admit both Microsoft and Sony are doing very well for themselves?

Too much to ask, I know.

[MCTJim]

Agreed.

[souldestroyer14]

I think xb1 would have sold even more copies if mcc launch wasn't so horrendous

[xx4xx]

These articles ate always hilarious on here.

Official numbers are given fir both consoles, but the only numbers called into question are the ones for xbox.

[AutoCad]

Amazing job Microsoft.. 2.3m ww and 1.2 in the US outselling the PS4 by almost half a million consoles in one single month..wow couldn't have seen this happen 2-3 months ago..

[Fatal-Aim]

they did it for ONE MONTH in the states and UK, losing more money that month than they did every other before it while including their BEST titles free of charge. but that's not the kicker. while people like you were so busy counting NA and the UK for MS to beat out Sony while ignoring the rest of the world, at the end of the day, the UK and NA numbers were negligible once you totaled up the global sales numbers.

point is with all of MS's effort (losing money & giving the console away for crackhead prices), they still lost Nov, and that 6+ million gap of Sony's PlayStation 4 has increased yet again by 300k. by that logic, MS would have to maintain this practice throughout 2015 in order to lose ~300k a month -- still allowing Sony to expand the gap.

how is that anything to celebrate?

[AutoCad]

Are you mad that MS has done a huge turnaround?
You are saying the only reason xbox sold that well is because of the price..Yet i dont see you mention the reason why PS4 started off to a good start was due to the fact that it had a $100 advantage,not a $50 advantage xbox has now..So what is your point bro?At the end of the day MS only cares right now about gaining back the US,it was the same with 360..360 dominated the us and uk..
So dont get mad bc your competition has had a huge positive turnaround,if anything be happy.It might push sony to do better.

[Live_Larry]

What the hell is happening to the gaming scene? Why the heck do video gamers seem more interested in quarterly reports, sales charts, and stock prices than in actually playing video games?

Have you all always been this business/finance oriented?

[dkgshiz]

I feel sorry for anyone who bought an xbox one on day one. My local walmart had a deal going on where the xbox one was $315 and you got like a $40 gift card. Compared to when it originally launched for $499.00. Given you don't get the Kinect (Not like anyone actually uses that anyways). Thats probably the fastest I've ever seen a console drop in price.

[kenwonobi]

Ps4 won every month. Interesting. At least xbox is keeping them slightly honest by not losing so badly this Christmas.
