Why shouldn't they? Sony fans have been talking a big game all year long, yet MS just kept their head to the ground and produced a big win in December. That's the bottom line. 

Next step is to market the heck out of Titanfall and maybe start looking at a $50 price cut to speed market adoption even more. MS can afford it. 

Oh god please bananaking... keep them coming! XD

respect for still posting that

Good number for XBO, 908k for a $500 console is very impressive. Plus it shows that the next gen battle for the US isn't going to be easy. I'm eagerly awaiting on PS4 and WiiU.

why do you think is this post (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5974964) not reasonable?

MS fans accross the world.

Honestly I'm starting to think if MS can get to relative price parity or even within $50 soon, they can start to take it to Sony in the US. 

US = XBox Land. Sony's brand has fallen a lot in the US, XBox is the defacto brand for hardcore gamers now. 

You should look at ioi´s post, take a deep breath and maybe accept that both consoles sold what they said they sold? What is so bad about that?

December NPD – Xbox One leads in December

December NPD Group figures released today revealed Xbox One was the number one selling console in the market in the U.S., selling 908,000 units in December. Additionally, Xbox 360 continued to see strong momentum with 643,000 units sold in December, putting it in the number three spot overall, and lead for last generation hardware. Together, Xbox One and Xbox 360 held 46 percent of the hardware market share in the U.S. and showed a 10 percent year over year growth from December 2012. 

“We’re grateful for the excitement and support of our fans – many purchasing their next Xbox console and many joining the Xbox family for the first time,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox. “Our journey is just starting, with more innovation, games and entertainment coming in 2014 and far beyond.”

December 2013 NPD highlights include:

• Total combined retail spend on the Xbox platform (Xbox One and Xbox 360) in December reached $1.39 billion, 50 percent of the combined software, hardware and accessories spend in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, December 2013).
• During the month of December, Xbox One held six of the top 10 spots on the new generation console game title list: “Battlefield 4,” “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” “Ryse: Son of Rome,” “Madden NFL 25” and “Call of Duty: Ghosts” (Source: NPD Group, December 2013).  

Fans continue to show their excitement for new generation Xbox One games, with U.S. consumers purchasing an average of 2.9 games* per console since launch.

As Mehdi mentioned last week in a thank you letter to fans, 2013 was an incredible year for gamers, entertainment fans, our industry and Xbox. You can read his full letter here.
