Being beat by 7-10k isn't ain't worth braging about. MS shouldn't want to brag.


I think that has been debunked?

Isn't sales like 1.2m to 800k.


still not impressed with a 400k lead. ok it's closer to a dominate performance, but Sony came swing back on BF so where is the 1's staying power? we'll see next yr, and throughout dec i supose.

 

sup Ace lol.

Is there any official confirmation about 1.2M for X1 ?  I don't think so. It was a rumor this morning(GMT+1); did we have any confirmation after ? I still think X1 is around 1M and PS4 around 800k. 

Nate you really should be quoting Ace about that. i'm not here enough to know really. i'm just responding to post based of what i know, and what info's given to me.

Sony had decent deals and a reasonable price for a console for that time period in the generation. To say MS victory is due to failure on Sony's part is both arrogant in it's own right and quite unfair. MS had a huge success and it was not at the failure of others. They offered the console for $349 + 2 games + a $50 gift card on top of deals retailers were offering. They did so well because they made a huge sacrifice(a sacrifice that should be respected, accepted, and acknowledged) that made the cost of the console even cheaper than the wii u. They made their console the cheapest/greatest value per cost on the market during November and it paid off.

All Hail the Jester King. The King is back, and I am still a dirty girl prof ;)

More like $ony's financial problems and Sony fanboys' arrogance. Would love to see their reactions next for December lol.



If they're outselling the X1 11 out of 12 months by 200k-300k each month why is it bigger news when the X1 drops its price $100, offers free games among other things, and still only manages to beat the PS4 by only 300+k in X1's home territory. People are reacting as if Sony sold 200k to MS's 1.2 million.

Do people actually know what arrogant means? MS were desparate and needed to get rid of stock that was building up. It had nothing to do with any Sony arrogance.

No, they barely even tried. There were no big exclusives. I mean, of course there were some bundles but no price drops. Seems like they are more interested in profits right now.

M8, America is all that matters!!!!

Stop resisting and be humbled.

 

But yeah the ps4 is the fastest selling console of all time, why lower the price?

If x1 continue to outsell in the usa , they might need to drop the price

but it wont, so that doesn't matter. xb1 will win december too probably. But not the rest of next year. Remember, xb1 is still many hundred thousand behind in usa

PS4 is already selling like crazy. They probably relied on LBP3 which did not workout.

The bundles it had are last gen games and although much better ones. It could not stop the COD AW and also Unity bundle of Xbone.

I cannot say if it will or won't but if MS has price advantage still, i would not count them out.
