Sales matter to MS when they can come out and say they won. Just look at what they did with being the best selling console for 2 weeks lol.They are already screaming that to the roof.

If/when they win the november NPD, just wait till you see the field day MS PR is going to have with it. You will think they have won the entire generation. Then if they lose the december NPD, watch them go silent again or blame supply issues after their great november.


Lol wow so they won two weeks. They got their ass raped hard all year by ps4. By January they'll go right back to being raped for another year till halo 5 comes out next year. And by then Sony will be leading them by 10-15 million consoles ww. So let them gloat for now while they got the chance cause it won't come around again for awhile :)


Wow, lots of hate in you...

Comparing 2014 to 2015 will be a lot harder than you think.  2014 had the entry point for the XB1 $100 above the PS4.  Also, the hype train was in overdrive for the PS4.  2015 will have the XB1 at an entry point on par or probably $50 below the PS4.  That alone will stop the gap from being as excessive as it was all for the first 9 months of 2014.  Add to the fact the the XB1 is in more countries all year in 2015 and you have a much closer result.  

With that said, I agree that the PS4 will outsell the XB1 for the first 8-9 months of 2015.  it just won't be the "raping" that you seem to hope to see.



It is near the end of the end....

October and September are bigger than the Summer month, but nowhere near November and December.
They matter to increase the base or don't fall apart. But ofc u don't shout out "hey we lost the last month" They gave a PR statement 2 days ago



They will matter when they can bragg, anything above PS4 sales will do this as they have been trailing for a year, even if this is for 1 second!

This is how PR work, you try to spin your weaknesses as meaningless, the enemie's advantage into a liability (hence the whole resolution/frame date "debate")... and when you gain an advantage, perceived or real, it's the most important thing in the world... completely one sided.

and the sad thing is, MS seems to have a lot of the gaming press in its hands, as if they had a vested interest in them "winning" or being relevant... look how long it took for some gaming sites to publish anything about the MCC collection problems, and even then they only talk about the server issues.

But MS said the price cut is temporary. So the raping will begin again in 2015. Bloodborne....

The only reason M$ called it temporary is so that retailers can say in advertising that the unit is "on sale" for $349.  It's just a marketing ploy to create a sense of urgency in buyers and just to make people think they are receiving a good deal.  So, the winning will likely return for the PS4, but i doubt the "raping" will.  Worldwide = "raping" though...

More countries does not equal to sales unless if they are selling. I dont see XB1 selling other than US for the next half year as they dont have any exclusives that will ask users to buy XB1. For multi platforms and we know that PS4 is the best choice along with PS4 exclusives are starting to come in next half.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Just remember that if you have bought/will buy an Xbox One console during a month when PS4 sales have been/will be greater, you do NOT matter. You ONLY matter if you have acquired one during a month when the Xbox One has outsold the PS4. That means so far not a single Xbox One consumer mattered to Microsoft. That's what you're condoning when you tote the "party line."

I agree, like I said in the bolded.  XB1 will stay competitive in the US, but WW not so much.

World wide is already happening except US and UK still and it wont change. XB1 will be competitive only in US and UK and they can forget the rest of the world this gen and they cant change this fate unless they offer XB1 half of PS4 price which is impossible. Dont forget next year PS4 has many exclusives planned like one for each month alsmost and look at XB1 first half. PS4 was able to sell even without many big exclusives so far and just imgine what happens when they have something attractive from exclusives and Project morpheus in 2015 Holidays.

No dispute that WW the PS4 will continue to dominate.

I wouldn't pin much hope on Morpheus being much of anything unless they sell it for $99 or less
