So PS4 couldn't win on North America? That's surprising


Whats more surprising is that you speak as if these numbers are 100% official.

 

I will wait for NPD, and if it confirms this then cool.

Does NPD Give Black Friday Week sales? Or Just the full November? 



Pocky Lover Boy!

I'm inclined to believe Amazon that PS4 won November. Doesn't mean PS4 won BF week specifically, but significant adjustments would need to be made elsewhere for Xb one to win BF week but PS4 to win November.

This is what the Amazon monthly chart tells us: PS4 skus are #1, #15, #31 and #42 in the top 50; Xb one skus are #8, # 23 and #44 in the top 50. And that's without factoring in the pre-orders for SWBF and CoD which skews even more for PS4. Amazon hasn't been wrong except when pre-orders have favoured the hardware that was not in the top position in the charts. When pre-orders are favouring the top finishing console in the charts Amazon has a consistent record of picking the NPD winner.

I'm pretty sure there will be adjustments, I just wonder if they will be before or after NPD.

Only the full month. But VGC has Xb one winning November by about 80-90K at the moment. And that seems unlikely.

I can't believe I'm seeing people using the word 'unlikely'. I'm confident in using 'impossible'. The PS4 only sold 100k since the 22nd (including Black Friday)?

If those numbers for the Vita in NA end up being true, you might as well discontinue it's production and just sell what you have. That's pretty damn pathetic for the BF week.

No way these number is real !



think the numbers off abit, dont see the Xbox winning the week to be honest in the US.



Have these numbers been adjusted since this morning? Looks like PS4 sales for the 28th have been given a minor boost (around 50k WW).

It would be good to get a rough idea when we can expect the adjustments from official numbers given by Sony for sales up to 22/11/15, and then hopefully we can expect adj after getting Nov NPD.





I've seen reports confirming ps4 narrowly outsold x1 on America



If ps4 number was higher most of you would jump around and say ps4 won who cares about NPD now because Xbox number is better no everyone saying we wait for NPD lol so typical
