I have a 1X and let me tell you people really don't give a fuck about Xbox here in germany.
They made decent inroads with the 360 but killed it all in the first half of the gen with their 'who gives a shit about europe' attitude at the start of the gen.
As of 31 Dec 2018, Sony announced 91.6m sold through
And this website estimate PS4 sold through at 94.67m
They even over estimate official numbers from Sony by 3 millions (with regions not tracked), I don't trust those figures (EDIT : worldwide ones)

But still, Canada has like 36 million people, Germany has 82 million.
So what we kinda already knew. Xbox is competitive in North America and the UK and on life support every where else.
I wouldn't put any stock into the global LTD numbers posted in the meristation thread, as it's clear they extrapolated based on the data they do have. The only actual data to pay attention to is the US, Japan and Europe data as those are the only ones actually tracked.
The Europe data is also slightly off from what GfK report, and some are upweighted.

So the UK is Sony's 4th largest market, as well as Nintendo's. And the Xbox One has also sold... decently enough here too.
I'm not really surprised but there's a lot of doom and gloom regarding the UK specifically at times and I'm just not seeing it.

I'd argue there's more doom and gloom for the Japanese market and it's 2nd place for both Sony and Nintendo.
Doesn't matter. I mean, Japan is how big? 126 million? And less than 108k people bought a XBO there :P
It's the reach which you can get on a particular market and the historical sales of console is the reason for gloom
Well yeah that too. But at least there we have the Xbox One unquestionably letting the rest down. Not that there's much to say than has already been said regarding the Xbox in Japan.
But yeah I was thinking more along the lines of the UK being a landslide or a write off one way or another when, I dunno I think it's doing OK for all 3.
So did xbox reach 50mil sold?
With those constant deals + xbox SAD + X + GP it should have reached it right?

It was 41 million globally at end of 2018 according to a past post by zhuge, so seems almost impossible.
Of course you focus on the U.S. but you see the results when your product is really not desirable in most other regions.

Well, the US market isn't the reason for 50+ million sales difference between PS4 and XB1...
I mean they did during both the 360 and early xb1. It just didn't shake out. Like the 360 was a great product for most of last gen with FIFA marketing and more diverse games and yet it still only sold like 2 mill in Germany. Some countries( ex. japan Germany etc) just aren't going to billy Xboxes regardless of what they do
Yes, that many people don't care about Xbox consoles. It's a sentiment that's shared across the European Union. Unless you're really into consoles, Xbox as a brand might as well not exist. The launch of the Xbox One was pretty bad in the EU, it being more of a roll-out with smaller countries having to wait for their turn to be graced by the generous Microsoft and the mandatory Kinect couldn't have come at a worse time, just a couple of months after the reveal of the PRISM surveillance program. Who would want a mandatory camera from an US company in their living room after that? With a higher price than the trusted PlayStation brand on top of that? That console was just as toxic as the green packaging indicated, eroding what little progress they've made with the Xbox 360. I'd argue they've done little since then to gain market share here. At least in Germany, Game Pass for PC might be the better way to popularize the brand. E: If they can keep the price of 4 Euro per month, that is.
I don't think anyone has ever cared about the Xbox outside of North America and maybe the UK.
I was gonna use these for some updated numbers for Vita sales, but I'm not sure how much I trust then (I know they're prefaced with 'just estimates', but still).
For example, James Armstrong reported 600k Vita sales (shipments) in Spain. 150k on shelves at the end of 2018 is ridiculous (discontinued in the region in 2016 iirc).
So yeah. Take with a large pinch of salt.

They did and it was a success. Only half of the 360's sales were from the US, so that's +40M everywhere else.
XB1 was a complete failure that only tried to succeed in very few countries after the disastrous reveal so they can keep as many buyers there as possible.
The brand pretty much has to do the work all over again, having lost more than 50% of its sales outside the US.
blame sony for not being price competitive. They could have pulled away, but every fucking holiday like idiots they lose the gap they got the whole yeat.ABSOLUTE idiots! SONY when you cutting price! Getting more people into your ecosystem is more imprtant!
Canada likes xbox and sony has never really been a run away hit here
leadership, pr and marketing was god awful at the start of this gen for Microsoft. thankfully those running the show now arent so incompetent and they're laying the frame work for a very successful next gen... if they don't fumble the pr/marketing... price could be an issue too but well see.
I am Canadian myself and I've always wondered what the split between the two consoles were, especially the 7th gen. Me and most of my friends had a PS3, but the 360 was popular too.
The PS1 sold 19 million in Japan and the PS2 sold 22 million. It's definitely falling there.
360 was quite a bit more popular here. even in the 32/64bit days Nintendo held it owns in Canada despite world wide sales being largely in favor for sony.
for some reason sony has always been more popular in Europe. not sure if its because they push a lot harder there while Nintendo or Microsoft half ass it or if there's some sort of weird brand loyalty.
How do you know the 360 was more popular here? I could never find data for it.
it got reported years ago. there was a sales thread on the old forum if you care to try and fish it out.
