Yeah, the Major Nelson spin is pretty disingenuous imo. The Xbone sold great in North America, just not #1 though - so he apparently felt the need to take a really silly stab at spinning it. Based on his metric, the should have set the Xbone release for the last day of November so he could claim that one day sales rate was multiples times the PS4 average over the month. Still less total numbers sold either way.
Rumor now is that Microsoft will now swing more stock to North America and maybe even delay the rollout to other countries to try to keep US/Canada a Microsoft stronghold. I believe the 360 lead the PS3 in the US, Canada and the UK but the PS3 had the rest of the world. Interesting that the PS4 leads a bit (or is fairly even) in North America and the UK so far this generation. Can the Xbone do better than the 360 did in Europe and Asia? Who knows - interesting times! |
Pretty impossible to speculate on sales numbers until there are some damn games for either of these systems.
