This is a load of garbage. There is no way the X1 won out this week. The game store I work in last week sold 70 odd PS4s, and about 15 or so xbox ones off the back off Fifa. I'd be stunned if this was true!


It will be true. MCV are very very reputable. Love the anecdotal evidence though...

MCV are, but how reputable is there anon retail source? I mean I know they'll obviously filter it out if it is 100% bullshit but still I would hold off on the fanfare until there is numbers here which back up the claim. Still tho, don't knock sourceless evidence which is countering sourceless evidence.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

No fanfare from me. I only want the X1 to be competitive so I can get a cheaper PS4 when I go to buy one . I would bet there source is someone they always use from someone at GAME HQ who has access to all the Chart-Track numbers.



I didn't expect this to happen. Didn't Sony bring out its own bundle?



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Too bad like with Madden, this is only a 1-2 week "solution" for the X1. Not only that, it only barely beat out the PS4 so it's more of a tie than an outright win for the week.

Yes 2 days before FIFA launch against nearly 6 weeks of preorder for the X1 bundle. Its done tremendously well infact.

But that doesnt matter. Xbox didn't do the price cut till like a week before. Plus it's the Internet. Everyone who wanted one could've done it in the 2 days and I guarantee a vast majority of the fifa sales were done when the price cut happened

lol cheeky out, cheer for another horse in a race so more people don't bet on yours to win bigger. And yeah I'd say the news is legit too, lots of good reasons for the X1 to have a week in the sun but also just me being skeptical of any site with X1>ps4 news because they know that it's the motherload of free hits from people in disbelief :D

The bundle was £349.99 RRP. The same price as the console. PS4 and FIFA would have been a lot more expensive if Sony didn't step in and offer retailers an "incentive"
