I just have to say, what a downright awful NPD from everyone. Holy fuck.

Sony is down YoY with a price cut, NDC sold less than friggin Yoshi's Wooly World, and Halo sold less than 1 million. Just wow. Absolutely shit numbers from all fronts.


Not really, npd has no numbers yet for the month. VGC numbers show they are up in comparison to npd

VGC numbers are wrong. NPD says the PS4 did 274k this month. Either way, it's below the XBO's 304k, and even if the PS4 sold 303k, that would only be 6k up YoY, which is still awful imo.

Bull. You know that's not true. 


Seriously...Even here we were saying Xbox would win. Heck I bet on it, I was that sure. What was exciting is that it went from being an expected slaughter to some serious competition. Granted both numbers are bad overall.  Hopefully PS4 sales were low because people were choosing to pre-order the upcoming bundles instead.

That would correlate with your "PS4 sizzles" social media thread.

Except for the fact that social media is global and not "global in the US" you might have a point.

Well, so much for Amazon's perfect record. But like I said in that thread, people weren't looking at all the factors for XB1 to win.

not me, I was one of the few that predicted a win for xb1.

I said X1 was going to win at least half a dozen times in the Amazon thread.

It is a weird thing that some people do where they like to pretend that no one was guessing an Xbox victory when that wasn't the case. Perhaps it makes those rare victories that much sweeter when you can convince yourself that it was unexpected. 

Not as though it doesn't happen both ways either. We all remember Titanfall. And the reactions after last year's November and December NPD threads. Pretty sure X1 was meant to be in the lead by now.

Are you serious? I can't tell if your being sarcastic.

There are numerous posts where I said I think Xbox One would win and even bet on it. I'm still sure the PS4 sold more globally.

I had said X1 at first myself, but after the price cut, I wasn't so sure. What was shocking however were the final numbers for both. I was expecting closer to 400k for each.

I dont see this 274k number, not in the news or in OPs first post
