The revival of this thread just seems petty and kicking-when-down written all over it.

But at least Xbox 1 isn't last place. So there's that


But that's the thing the actual thread creator is the person that revived it! And said something about ha ha ha look at those sales doubters or something like that. So why did he revive it and say that TODAY. That's the question....It makes no sense it is like he is asking to be kicked while down.....it is kind of odd if you ask me.


This.

Does this mean the thread starter was petty and wanted to kick himself down? :O

I doubt X1 can outsell the PS4 by 650k in 1 week.

But that doesn't matter since the sales are so close anyway and X1 is competitive in the USA.

And X1 is now 91 % of all PS4 in the US, so it actually decreased the gap from 90 %

Sooooo... given how long this thread has gone on for, forgive me for seeking clarification rather than hunting for some in the thread that may not even be there, but when you say that it doesn't matter, are you saying either;

1) That, okay, your prediction about the Xbox One matching the PS4's sales due to the price cut was ultimately incorrect, as it will evidentially take more than that price cut to achieve it, but in the end it doesn't matter to the console's future because it's still doing very well in the U.S., competitively speaking.

or are you saying,

2) 'No, Guys, 91% is TOTALLY the same as matching, or might as well be, gap doesn't matter, I was right.'

 

Because the first one I can totally get on board with, the Xbox One IS doing well in the U.S., and is remaining quite competitive. The only real impact its current inability to consistently outsell its competitor therefore has on the whole situation was the outcome of this thread's prediction, which ultimately is no big deal. ^_^ And honestly, I doubt many here would disagree with that assessment, so long as it's at least acknowledged that your specific prediction about sales being matched ultimately turned out incorrect. Heck, if you want to change your prediction to a newer one and change the conditions to 'has to be within x percent,' fine, (kind of think you should have a new thread for that, mind you,) but most of the doubters you're laughing out were doubting the prediction in your OP, which ultimately turned out wrong. ;P

The second one is just really silly, and I feel paranoid for even bringing it up, but I figured getting it out of the way would head off any potential misunderstandings from others who might think you meant 'The Sales Not Matching Doesn't Matter, And My Prediction About The Sales Matching Was Still Correct.' =P Again, really silly, but that's the Internet.

Of course I am aware that the X1 sales are lower than the PS4 sales.

At the same time is is reasonable to assume that a certain percentage of difference between them can be ignored and the sales can be considered quasi-identical .

The truth of the matter is that X1 is extremely competitive in the US and the ammount it is being outsold by the PS4 is not significant.

I don't believe a winner in the US can be named at this point because the X1 can match the PS4 sales any month basically (The same can happen for the PS4 mind you)

Of course this is not the case in Europe or other regions where the PS4 significantly outsells the X1 and it can't recover without a miracle happening.

Thank you.

Ok so you admit defeat and that all your predictions were ultimatelly wrong and that you have been claiming bs for almost a year in this regard?

 

About x1 selling on par with ps4, no one disagreed with it here. But the numbers weren't 90% on jan and feb (maybe mar as well) by NPD. But they certainly are better than same period last year, both in total sales and gap.

 

And please reveal the secret. Would it be that you actually don't care and just wanted a 1000 posts thread?

I will reveal the secret by the end of this week, I'll have to gather up proof to show you that I didn't make it up and that this was my plan from the start.

I will reveal the secret by the end of this week, I have to make up proof to show you that I didn't make it up becauase my prediction didn't go according to my plan and that I actually have planned this from the start.


We are anxious for it. Will post in this thread or create a new one? Have to know where to look during holidays.

Thank you.

But when is that going to happen? You talk as if it's 50/50 when it's still 100% win every week for the PS4. The gap is growing AGAIN and will be back to what it was last year (if not bigger). What you predicted hasn't and will never happen.
