Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 sales stumble, as nobody buys one during BF week

Be careful what you wish for!

I remember dark times of no numbers to compare against and share our thoughts. I for one appreciate the efforts and hope we don't return to those times.

Thanks.

Yes, but the numbers need to pass the "does this seem right?" test before they get published. All signs pointed to PS4 winning Black Friday. With Infoscout and Amazon both giving the Black Friday win to PS4 there is no way VGC has got the numbers right for North America.  Even if they persist with giving Xb one the win for the week, it is not credible that the gap is that large.

Also, I am pretty sure if Greenberg was getting info that Xb one was outselling PS4 by quite a big margin that he wouldn't have done a "hey we all sold well" tweet.

I'm going to go out on a limb, but I'm guessing these numbers are going to have be adjusted very soon. Since, you know, they make very little sense with all the information we currently have.



Infoscout had PS4 slightly ahead at retail, most of the online charts that we have have PS4 comfortably ahead, and yet PS4 loses by 90k. Not impossible, but seems unlikely.

No... not by 90k. PS4 lost by almost 800k. Cause it sold 0 units.

Everyone was being sarcastic. The point of the thread is that vgc didn't update it

Microsoft's recent Black Friday PR also suggests that the PS4 most likely won BF since they didn't claim a win.



Is that shipped or sold?



The Playstations were about to be shipped, but Konami's lawyers said they couldn't be shipped to America. So they are in the middle of the ocean in a freighter as we speak, waiting for Konami execs to leave America so they can be shipped in.



I still prefer "I think NX is this...." threads.
