Quote from: Aura7541 on Oct 23, 2015, 06:39 PMWhat was the XBO's estimated shipment numbers up to Q2 2015? I think it was somewhere between 14-14.5 million.

Well that range was all we knew because of the grouping with 360 but I think 14.3 was an accepted rough estimate

I see. If we were to take your 1.5 million guess, then the XBO probably has shipped 15.8 million.

Yeah but a rough guess plus a rough guess can't produce an accurate answer like that, so I'll go with ~16m

That's true. The only alternative I can come up with is estimating the XBO's sales based on the percentage of worldwide sales that come from the US. Of course, the problem is that the percentage is going to go up because the XBO isn't selling well at all outside of the US and UK.

Yup.

~16m isn't too bad either! 360 was only 9.3

Do you mean Wii U? 360 was way ahead that in the same timeframe than Xbox One.

360 released in 2005.

13.5 was third year shipments.

So last year in the same quarter, xbox family shipped 2.4 million, with the 360 accounting for about 500k. This year, total xbox shipments should be down a bit, but XBO shipments should make up a larger part. I'd estimize 2.1-2.2 million combined, XBO @ 1.9 million.

XBOX shipments last quarter: 1.4 million. ( Estimate: 1.1m XB1 / 300k 360 )

XBOX shipments this quarter: ?

NPD XB1 sales last quarter: 623,000 [ 187k / 139k / 297k]

NPD XB1 sales this quarter: 672,000 [ 189k / 202k / 281k] ( +8% compared to last quarter )

You think XB1 has ship 1.9 million when it sold LESS THAN 700K in the US? How is even possible? You think MS has ship OVER 75% XB1 compared to last quarter when in the US they sold just 8% MORE?

Lat year XBOX total shipments was 2.4 million, most estimate has 1.7 million XB1 and 700k 360.

You think XB1 is up YOY this quarter in shipments? Did you forget last year XB1 is coming in many new countries?

XB1 is most likely under 1.5 million shipped this quarter. Probabily 1.3/1.4 million XB1 and 300/400k 360 for a total of 1.6 / 1.8 million XBOX shipped, way less than last year 2.4 million. That's probabily one of the reason for why MS didn't released any XBOX shipments this time.

Rying makes a good point here... I forgot about all the new launches last September, its bound to be down YOY, especially with low NPD sales. 1.5m seems about right I think

Yeah.... Xbox One has had 8 quarters, 360 after 8 quarters was 13.4m

Lame. There are like no good sales sites

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Oct 23, 2015, 06:19 PMExcept 360 is cheaper and dropped more than xb1 which means total sales dropped by more than 17%

Meaning it's under 2m. Could be as low as 1.8 and that drop from 2.4m is shocking.

Gotta love the spin on chertz. They've moved on from xbox will take over the living from. Now it's xbox live will take over pc and leave psn in the dust.
