Um.  No, they wont.  PS4 isn't launching in China for a while, but you can expect the PS4 to dominate China, just like they are WITH EVERY OTHER SINGLE MARKET they are in, including North America!

That is exaclty why I said it sell more than PS4 in China... I'm 100% sure they won't lose this batle in September


makes all the difference, man!

Yea, the investors probably aren't too happy about that deal, now.  $400M, and for what?  The PS4 to still outsell you in the month of release.  They aren't really netting much of anything from that deal.  That's why I've been saying I think 2014 is going to be the last year you really see these BIG moneyhatting deals from Xbox.  After this year, if things keep going as is, investors are really going to be breathing down their necks about all the wasted spending.

$400 million is mostly for NFL to use and showcase Surface tablets, and to have logos plastered everywhere. Very little to do with XBox altogether.

While that may be true, it still makes the NFL more synonymous with MS than Sony or Nintendo.  They also had a deal with EA for exclusive advertising, which was probably another multimillion deal.  Either way, both deals haven't really done anything for MS.

It's too bad these sales mean jack for Sony. They lost way too much money on the ps3,psp and ps vita that the ps4 will probably just make them break even on the Playstation brand. Also, they are going bankrupt so they won't be here for long.

When lining up sales of PS4 and Xbox One after 10 months on the market,” said Callahan, “the combined PS4 and Xbox One hardware sales are greater by over 70 percent compared to their predecessors.”

why did no1 do the math?
we know ps4 and xb1 ltd end of July
and some1 should know xb360 and ps3 ltd for first 10 month


so we would get a rough estimate for ps4 + xb1 combined numbers...
anyone know the ps360 numbers?


dunno if they are in line with NPD..

 

vgc says 2,26M for 360

1,74M for PS3

4M total

what was ltd end of july for ps4 and xb1?


~3750k ps4

~3050k xb1

 

gimme a second to get exact numbers...

$400 million is mostly for NFL to use and showcase Surface tablets, and to have logos plastered everywhere. Very little to do with XBox altogether.

While that may be true, it still makes the NFL more synonymous with MS than Sony or Nintendo.  They also had a deal with EA for exclusive advertising, which was probably another multimillion deal.  Either way, both deals haven't really done anything for MS.

Yep. On Football Sundays, you'll see the X1 a lot during commerical breaks. Too bad it did not help the X1 at all.....

trololololololol!  Try a better argument, as Sony (as a whole) still has a market cap of over $20 Billion, and they are not going bankrupt any time soon.

If you guys want early 7th gen HW numbers, go to vgsales.com. They have them updated to December 2011.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

welp one down one more to go for PS4 if it can manage Nov it should win all NPDs for the year, cant see XB1 win Sept, Oct or Dec

really impressed with the PS4 win wouldnt of been surprised if xb1 won b/c they had the bundle and came of a price cut, would think PS4 would drop from last month 180k b/c of people waiting for the destiny bundle, really there wasnt anything pushing PS4 HW for the month
