Yep, XBO was heavily front-loaded, but can't keep pace with 360 long term even in it's biggest market. It lost September vs. first 360 September, even though PS3 wasn't out yet, and no free game or TWO free game promotions. Crazy.

Actually, X1 beat the 360 in their respective first Septembers, though you're still right in that the 360 wasn't sold with a free game or two. Neither did the 360 get a price cut prior to its first September nor advertised as the "official console of the NFL".

If PS4 does as many of us are expecting, and outsells XBO in septembers NPD, can we, rather than point and laugh at fans of either console and make snarky remarks, instead join as one group, and whole heartedly just laugh at how rediculous michael patcher is?


That's more or less what's been going on for the past several hours.

exxxcellent *rubs hands*

It outsold the XB1 by a quarter of a million units.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Kinda disappointing X1 numbers. Well they are good but PS4 is almost double.


It beat VGChartz' estimations. How is that disappointing?


Well, if you read past what you bolded then you might understand what mo meant.  The numbers aren't bad but when you get double downed by your competition it sort of puts a pall on your performance.

So it's easilly feasible then, that PS4 is potentially going to be at over 12m by the end of the month after adjustments are made for all the consoles (nice undertracking spread!)
15m by end up 2014 seems easilly doable at this point.

Actually yo are right... here are his numbers:

[360] 65k

[3DS] 125k

[PS3] 55k

[PS4] 550k

[WIU] 75k

[XB1] 280k

 

My total deviation for X1 and PS4 was 39k

EThomoz total deviation for X1 and PS4 was 16k

Not meant as shame or anything, you're both scary good with those predictions.

LOL its cool.  All folks need to do is use all the data at their disposal and not make emotional predictions.

I don't know how official these are:

XBO Destiny 1000k
PS4 Destiny 900k (300k were bundled)
360 Destiny 450k
PS3 Destiny 250k

No it didn't. Nice try though.


Guess I misread that chart earlier, looked like Sept was above for 360. What was the first September for 360?

So any chance VGC adjusts for the 130k+ Ps4 undertracking? I mean, they'd still be massively undertracking overall, but it'd be something.
