I hope the new halo bundle will shift many consoles!

LOL, you're throwing around mathematical terms without actually knowing what they actually mean.

The PS4 is outselling the XB1 in the US. It's not that hard to understand and you were wrong. Actually, I'm convinced that you don't mean what you say and this is all a satirical act.

Here, you have your way out of this mess. Take it.

Unless Sony does a similar response, the X1 can easily match the nr of sales of the PS4 in the US and perhaps the UK.

X1 is putting up a fight in the US, having extremely close to PS4 sales.

Don't forget that the US and UK are the only regions where the PS4 is not dominating, and X1 is being still very competitive.

What do you guys think?

I think PS4 will continue to stay ahead in NA for all this Generation, but you are right, NA and UK are the only places where there can be some healthy competition.

This really is the only reasonable explanation at this point.

Last I checked X1 sales still make 90 % of PS4 sales in the USA.

I think I am a bit loss.

Now the objective is for the Xbox One to sell 90% of PS4?

Now you don't believe Xbox One can outsell PS4 in the US by the end of March 2015 anymore?

Now you are changing goal post, after realizing that your previous goal is not happening?

I can already predict I won't get an answer to those questions since you are trying to be a legend on this site. Answering those questions with the truth will probably take away from what you might be trying to do. But you  don't have to worry, you are already the "Globally in the US" legend on vgchartz lol

I took his "I'll be a legend" comment as a troll post, but this (bolded)? This is actually true! People will use "globally in the US" on stuff not even relevant to US sales and it'll somehow make sense.

TheDrill. you've made your staple here on VGC.

My percentages are not off.

Also in math when people compare numbers a certain approximation and variation is allowed.

X1 is matching the PS4 sales in the US, and that's what I've claimed it will do.

are you serious?

Care to explain how that will allow x1 to pass ps4 by march 20th give or take 20 days?

And your percentage is off.


1. My percentages are not off.

Also in math when people compare numbers a certain approximation and variation is allowed.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(%CE%B5,_%CE%B4)-definition_of_limit

as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality

And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

2. X1 is matching the PS4 sales in the US, and that's what I've claimed it will do.

First bolded: as Intrinsic showed, there was a 25% disparity in January and 22% disparity in February, in favor of PS4. That's not 10%

Second bolded: wut? Like.....wut? In which manner are you talking about "matching". It hasn't matched the PS4 in LTD sales in the US. It's not matching the PS4 in monthly sales either. So either way, your claim is wrong. Being outsold by a total of 106k over two moths is no matching. At all. Not even in Bizarro world.

Xbone will never match PS4 sales in US... it will stay below it for the rest of generation and the gap will only increase.

There is no brand power for a comeback.

'Matching' means selling as much as or more. XBO is not doing that.

You also claimed it would pass PS4 in sales by end of March. Unless MS are giving it away for free this month, it is not doing that either.

The Gap between PS4 and X1 by the end of March in NA will probably be around 850k ? 

I believe that the Gap will be 1.2/1.3M in favour of PS4 by end of October, in NA.   My two cents.

So 75% this month and 85% and getting smaller is matching? Yes, seem reasonable. And you claimed it would pass PS4 and that it would do it by 100k a week from December on.
