So we know that the Xbone won the last week of October? PS4 sales shouldn't be that far ahead for the month..under 100k ahead me thinks

Nop, nop ! We know nothing as also VGChartz know nothing, they have just an estimate and 3k more or less means nothing.  You still don't know this after posting here every day ?  Only the monthly NPD has a meaning.  And it's coming in few hours.


M$ said in their PR that they won the last 2 weeks in the US aka W.E 1st Nov and W.E 8th Nov

MS PR means nothing, you know.

They sure won the Nov 8th in NA, but not sure about Nov 1st.  Don't drink everything coming out from MS, they are very 'good' and 'smart' sometimes to spin numbers, they are very well known to do this.

Tagging. And by the way, I believe creamsugar WILL be there to give us some leaks. He was joking about him having lost his source.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Tagging in the hope we still get actual numbers this month



VGC numbers have been adjusted, the numbers in the OP are no longer correct...

I'm not sure how MS can know for sure that it won 1 Nov week. If you look at Amazon's weekly sales top 100 chart there is no way Xb one won that week because the only sku's ahead of PS4 are sku's that did not actually ship to customers until 2 Nov. Of course if MS count the week as Monday to Sunday then all those AC and CoD pre-orders become countable and Xb one wins week ending 2 Nov. While VGC has the week ending 1 Nov. Personally I think Amazon has the better record this gen for which console sells the most in a week or month compared to VGC, so IMO week ending 1 Nov goes to PS4 (on the top 100 for the week PS4 is at 15 and 39, and Xb one is at 30 and that's it). VGC has the order wrong.

Availability of the SO bundle through other retailers in higher numbers than was available on Amazom may be a complicating factor making Amazon uniquely unreliable for that week.
