That is kind of besides the point even if it is undertraced say 250k or so like most think it still is no longer 2:1. The ratio changed but the gap also increased between the two. The response FATALITY gave could have been better but it seemed to be little instead of explain teh situation like most of his comments usually do.

I just saw the GTA V ad. If that's the same ad that's playing all over Globally and Globally in the USA, those that only get their news from TV are going to buy it for PS4. That marketing deal and these numbers (if right) prove that GTA is and shall forever be, A BEAST!

If you're going to count smash digital you need to count digital for ps4 games like GTA 5. I bought it on the US PSN strore and close to 100k buyers in the US alone have given the game a thumbs up. (only buyers can do this rating). That to be suggest at least 300k bought the game from the US digital. 

On the EU store I can't see the thumb up ratings as i haven't bought it there but the star ratings are not too far behind the US. Add in the ROW and GTA 5 has sold gangbusters digital for PS4. 

I have a feeling that Sony is banking it all on Black Friday to win November. It's not a bad strategy since the vast majority of sales for November come from BF (and Cyber Monday, too).

ahahahah, you are right :)

Microsoft wants to make an overall profit from the X1. For MS to spend tons of money to raise the baseline in Europe might not be worth it.

However, at the same time, not focusing on Europe limits the demographic scope. You want to sell your console to fans of genres other than shooters and sports. However, if much of the userbase prefers only a select few genres, then it will consequently limit the overall game library.

Lad GTA 5 X1 is standing up to SSB. BTW GTA 5 is undertracked on here by a lot and SSB likely a bit too. 

Well, I think it has been shown that Halo MCC did not sell X1 consoles as much as a lot of people hoped and it pushed consoles worse than  even I thought they would. I think the X1 will  pull out a small win for November because the price cut did a great deal to sell consoles in early November. Black Friday I see pretty even sales for the X1 and PS4 because I think there is high demand for both. They will both sell almost all they ship.  I really do not see Black Friday as  being like years past where the 360 always slayed the PS3. The X1 is not  the in/cool console to own like the 360 always was. There is no in/cool console to own in the US yet, so I think the black Friday sales will show pretty even numbers for the PS4 and X1.

is there any reason why EU PS4 numbers could drop next week?

I talk about the US the most because I am an American so the sales here affect me more than sales in other places. There are more Americans on this site than any other nationality by far. So we like to talk about our country.
