PS4 #1 < ~227k (down YoY)
XBO > ~130k (up YoY)

Even though the One is up, that gap between the One and 4 is still pretty significant.

Those are last years sales. Meaning XB1 sold more than 130k while PS4 sold less than 227k.

MS actually commenting on PS4 sales being down

Truly pathetic

If what you read were this:

"In its own statement, Microsoft said 2017 is off to a "strong start" for the Xbox One as the number of hours players spent playing games on the console grew 21 percent year-over-year. Additionally, Xbox One sales grew year-over-year in January, something that cannot be said for the PS4, according to Microsoft."

...hopefully it was just poor wording on Gamespot's part.

Not bad wording, MS just bitter as fuck

Ahhh..... I knew there was a reason why the "<" and ">" were throwing me off.  Less math, more boobs.  All is right again.

February should be a onslaught.. Sony should permanently lower the price to 250 or else there will be a huge decline this year

Revision:

PS4 #1 < 227k (down YoY)
XBO > 150k (up YoY)

XBO is up YoY but also its best January.

What is the betting that Windows Central's total legit insider tells us the gap is less than 10k

Which can't be said for PS4.(PR Statment 10/10)

Saltiest I've seen from Microsoft. "but but but.. our momentum" :(

In essence PS4 did so well last year - they had no where to go but down.. but still won?

I preferred Microsoft's last month PR much more.

What happened  in January  that made the ps4 sell? Was it not 350 then...as suspected  300 is too much nowadays.

So Microsofts statement was basically "Yay we lost by a little less this month".

The 2 week price promotion in February should ensure a 4th victory in a row next month.

Sony should cut it to $250 permanently in April and bundle it with Uncharted 4. Then cut the Pro to $349 during the launch of the scorpio. They hold all the aces. Otherwise they might just take lower sales this year and cut the price come holiday season.
