ahh Classic M$ pulling the savy "less units/higher desirability" scheme.

may cut its initial planned shipments of the console from 7 million to 6.2 million

That's still a big number

lol language issues...

Germany but no Switzerland

Brazil but no Portugal

They could have taken 5min to try and find flaws in that excuse.... bad PR still owning them.

Holy shit manufacturing problems at launch?

That's never happened before.

having yield issues with Xbox One components and that it may cut its initial planned shipments of the console from 7 million to 6.2 million.

They are expecting day one sales to be higher than Wii U in the whole first year! (for EACH console)

I'm expecting both consoles to reach 100 million units sold in their lifetime, but 15+ million units in one and a half months? That sounds ridiculous, to me.

Pre-orders in ALL launch countries are sold out for both consoles (launch day stock). Its not hard to believe that all stock will go on day one (and possibly the 2nd restocking will all be sold long before it arrives)

I hope they still release this year before the holidays.

[QUOTE="Couth_"][QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"] Those numbers are MUCH larger than what I thought they would aim for.ManatuBeard

digitimes , lol 

[QUOTE="ManatuBeard"]

[QUOTE="Couth_"] That's absurd. Historically consoles have sold less than a million at launch and 1-2 million their first holiday quarter. I think for the first time they may not sell out at launch. Ps3 didn't sell 10 million until it's 3rd year on the market, 360 didn't sell that much until it's 4th year, and those were numbers for the ENTIRE YEARCouth_

Not 10 millions... more than Wii U (3 million +/- 1st year)

People the 6 million number is not for launch and more for the first year,so yeah that number is low.

Yep there will be plenty available on the shelfs. :D

That story is completely untrue..

The xbox one delayed in 8 countries and MS confirm yesterday that the chip was hard to make....:lol:

[QUOTE="ManatuBeard"]

[QUOTE="Couth_"]Pre orders are at a million for PS4 and much less for xb0ne. PS4 will not sell 10 million units in one month it's just not going to happen.Couth_

Not launch day, thats their expectation for this year (till 31 december)

Yeah, we should go with China's Economic Daily News. That's bad news, so a win for us fine gamers.freedomfreak

It could be true, the consoles are most likely made in China.

Thats the first official word from Microsoft as far as I see it.

Not really.

There still will be xbox ones sitting on store shelves and will be easily availible online. So them shipping 6.2 or 100 million it doesnt matter because it wont sell through, or be out of stock anywhere longer than a couple days.

[QUOTE="ManatuBeard"]

[QUOTE="Couth_"] Why did you even reply to me then. My comment was in regards to MS 6+ million forecast and Sony expected 10+ million on launch day...Couth_

Not launch day, thats their expectation for this year (till 31 december)

I dont know...

I was working in a huge electronics shop inside a shopping center when the PS2 was released. All units were gone in 1 hour (about 300units). It took 2 weeks to get restock, and everyday we had LOADS of people coming in asking for it. If we had 1k units, we would have sold them all in that hour.

With the growth of console gaming, i have no doubt that each shop will manage to sell 2k units in the 1st day, not counting pre-orders (the big shops).

They can ship as many as they want. Doesn't mean they will sell.

"The Xbox One features an eight-core 1.6GHz processor, 8GB of RAM, an 800MHz graphics processor"

That should be 853MHz GPU.

So it's got a 1.6 GHz CPU? PS4 is said to be 2 GHz.

Interesting, but then again they got the GPU number wrong.

The PS2 sold like 1 million on launch dude,i am sure they sold more than 1.4 Million in 1 quarter and sold 10 million by its first year,and 20 million by month 19 of lifecycle.
