Xbox One "sales" Thread - Gaming revenue up 64% & hardware revenue up 49%.

Pretty sure there was stock around in town today, too.

I wouldn't be surprised. Our local Game had stock to pick up off the shelf yesterday afternoon. The manager said that he had some overstock and a handful of cancelled pre-orders.

I've certainly taken back my stance that the Xbox One would come out on top in the end. I'm now seriously thinking the PS4 is about to trounce the One PS2 style.

Toys R Us Times Square

Not even 24 hours after the North American launch of the Xbox One Microsoft sent a press release stating that “Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers,” but that statement must not have included Toys”R”Us or Best Buy.
Just a walk across Times Square from the location of one of the console’s big launch events to the local Toys”R”Us store, which happens to be the biggest store of the retail chain in the world, and also a very well known shopping outlet, would have confirmed that there are still plenty Xboxes to be had, as discovered by our valiant reporter Al Zamora, that went on reconnaissance today. Talking with a store employee at the Time Square Toys”R”Us store we a learned that they have “easily a few hundred” units left. You can check a couple pictures below.

But we discovered something even more surprising by walking two avenues further, to the Midtown Manhattan Best Buy store in 5th avenue. There we were told that there are still “a lot” of units left for sale. This doesn’t mean that the Xbox Didn’t sell well, though, as the store was allocated 1500 units, and they have more stored in a truck. The surprising part? When Al walked to the gaming aisle he was greeted by the sight of several rows of the sleek black-boxed Day One edition Xbox One units, as you can see below.

On the other hand, both stores reported having no PS4 units available for sale at all (even if they may be covertly stockpiling for Black Friday like Walmart is doing), but it’s hard to make a direct comparison, as the Best Buy clerk told us that they received less PS4 units than Xbox One boxes.
That said, if you live in New York and want an Xbox One right away, now you know where to go, especially if you don’t care much for green and want one of those lovely black Day One editions. You don’t even need to hurry too much, as there’s plenty left.

Sold around 140,000 units in the UK. Forza 5 went in at No.5 on the charts, Dead Rising 3 at 7, and Ryse at 10. Seems like the word got out about Ryse.

Don't forget that FIFA 14 returned to the number one position after a 7 week absence, plus Assassins Creed got a wee boost.

It's pretty amazing how people want to hang onto anything negative regarding the Xbox. I know MS can be hated but this platform is actually good. The amount of fanboys that pretend to be not fanboys is just more annoying then the obvious fanboys.

For context, the PS3 sold 165k on launch.

That's right kids, the Xbone did worse on day one than the PS3, and they don't have the excuse of supply issues.

The PS3 was all over the shelves too, that didn't have supply issues either.

This true. Other than the Wii, the last time I remember a genuine shortage in the build up to Christmas was with the PS2 and to a lesser extent the Pink dsi.

Xbox 360 was completely sold out of all stores and was not available for good 1-2 months. I remember clearly as I was on the waiting list.

Ouch.

[Adam Ash]

In the UK the in the same time span, the 360 had sold 70,000 units, so Microsoft must be pretty happy with the reported 150,000 One's they shifted.

Looks like it has basically caught up with Wii U already Nintendo could be in last place by the end of next week after a year headstart.

[Adam Ash]

So bet's on the PS4's UK 48 hour sell through?

[Mafro]

What currently holds the record for the most launch day sales in the UK?

[Dblock]

Cheaper systems+chavs= you got a winner.

Rather stay on the classy side thanks.

Can't say I remember to be honest. I was out of games retail by then and was paying little attention to the industry during that time.

Not good.

[Dblock]

Hopefully this forces Nintendo to drop the price to £99 plus Mario.

I'd pick it up then

[Gemini73]

Nintendo need to do something, that's for certain.
