"They beat us in June. They beat us in May," Spencer says. "These months are small if you look at the sales. I think the whole month of June is about one week in November. They're winning, and they'll do their PR around it, and that makes sense. The battle is really September, October, November, and December."Phil Spencer.
Yes, that is what good old phil said himself, and he does have a point. September, Octobor, November and December are the biggest and most important months of the year, so this thread is here to collect the sales data and see who wins this war. months and weeks will be put up. significant events or anything that happens that might effect sales will be mentioned as well, to give an idea on whats effecting sales.
Globaly in the US sales and US sales will be placed using VGC data, until NPD comes in and i will replace US VGC data with NPD. the winner is the one who will sell the most, doesnt matter about the region, its globally. though US data will be added because its going to be an interesting "battle", most likely with two winners.
