while the kinectless base xboxone sale through number's will increase the overall number's; i think in my opinion the number's in NPD will still show the xboxone will still fall short of Sony's sale through PS4 number's not just for May but June also in North America.

and i think Sony's PS4 will have about a 20,000+ sale through number on each month ; over the xboxone for both May and June.

If titanfall bundle for just $50 more and all that extra stuff couldn't do it why would less for less sell that much more?

I think so, with even more confidence then March. May buyers will hold off until June, and people waiting for a cheaper price will jump aboard in June regardless. And if MS does a solid E3.....well that buzz will translate to more impulse buys as well.

Nah we will just say "o well" and leave the thread. lol

Well another factor was PS4 mania was still in full swing in March. Now supply has caught up with demand. So theres that.

Are we gonna have a thread like this every month? Because it seems like XBOX ONE is supposed to be beating the PS4 every month. First it was "the game of the generation". Now it's "They've ditched Kinect and are the same price". But, I forget, NPD is all that truly matters. Isn't it?

If it didn't win March with TitanFall I'm not so sure the price will make a difference. The TitanFall bundle apparently wasn't advertised though so that could be the reason it didn't really pick up sales with a better deal. Will see what happens I guess.

I think most people have gotten used to :

VGC inflating numbers WEEKLY for XB1 on a repetitive basis. Which leads to mistaken assumptions that XB1 is even close to PS4 this year. Which leads to disappointment when they get crushed come NPD release days.

Most XB1 fans are not insane. A few are (of every console/PC/etc). We can see clear evidence of this anyway. The definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior expecting different results. Expecting the XB1 to magically vault up the sales charts with no legitimate reason to produce such action IS insane. Hell, at this point believing VGC numbers for XB1 sales also qualifies as insane, until they fix the way data is collected/analyzed for those metrics. For example, this week they have it @ 30k. Well, 30k/week would mean 120k/May sales. Given that April had some time on the books before $399 SKU was announced AND had wider leftover availability of $449 bundles, it seems ludicrous to believe that 30k/week is possible for XB1 in May. Closer to 20k/week if anything. I'm predicting around 85k or slightly less, with even odds for WiiU to top it with the MK8 release.

That said, insane people tend to be the most entertaining. It would be boring if every XB1 zealot simply threw up their hands and said things like 'Well, XB1 is going to lose this gen pretty widely, and not even catch up in the US, but I'll still have a blast with mine'. It's much more fun to see people claim ludicrous things and get all bent out of shape. Desperately clinging to broken numbers, dreaming of an alternate reality where Microsoft didn't lose the plot.

Well for May this looks interesting:

GameStop is going to such lengths to support the release of Watch Dogs because, according to GameStop's senior VP of merchandising Bob Puzon, the game is "proving to be the highest preordered next-generation console game

Then Microsoft should go in full panic mode. And it will probably lead to shareholders asking (read: begging) Microsoft to sell the Xbox division again.
