Ps4 was definitely the underdog. sure by the time the month happened and we'd seen all the domination in the online rankings and reports from people in the industry people change their song and started going with the ps4. 

But don't rewrite history and act like people weren't expecting the xbox to lose pre season heavily and make up a lot of the gap come the holiday season. 

And I'm not just talking about this site. Gaf among others too.

 

And those feelings on the Xbox winning the holidays were quite justified based on previous results. Playstation hasn't exactly been known for NPD victories in Nov/Dec... The third party deals Sony got paid off big time for Sony. Good for them.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

Call of Duty: Black Ops III PS4 bundles - 283k
Call of Duty: Black Ops III - 4.89 million (including bundles); 4.607 million (without bundles)
Fallout 4 - 2.54m

Is bundled SW enough to make PS4 version outsell X1?

We don't have a platform split yet.

"Thank you for telling me who ZhugeEx is! I will remember to avoid him."

From the guy we have all the numbers.

 

Can anyone tell me what actually Zhuge is? Why do people have problems with him or her?

 

Not sure why that was posted. At least he apologized after reading other comments from users.

Zhuge is a stellar guy, no doubt about it. Who knows why some had problems with him on Gaf (many more fairly noted that Zhuge's info has never been put into question, and the reasoning behind his ban on Gaf seems murky at best, but confirmed not to be due to any inaccuracy), but apparently they fed whatever load that was to Mulcair/George. He is a no-BS character, so perhaps his bluntness didn't mesh with others. I shouldn't speculate however. He is a valuable person to have on the site, much like Shadow1980. I do recommend following his twitter if you have an account, he is quite active and often has fascinating data out there on all kinds of things.

Cheers man.

Thanks for the kind words. I love working with data and sharing my findings with everyone.  :)

You are very valuable here

I would say the numbers seem good

Seems like NDC bundle did almost 900k then? Or close.
Can the SW standard bundle beat that in December thanks to 300 dollar 2 week promo?

Is there any way we can get some updates to games in the RPG field and that of Bayonetta 2 Zhuge? I know that would require digging a bit deep but want to get some clarity on some titles as that genre seems to be misinterpreted on this site.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, what I got access to was just a snippet. I don't have the full report in front of me so can't help with B2.

What I will say is that the first game for PS3/360 is VERY overtracked here on Chartz.

Hi all, 

Here is a quick chart I made which shows how the PlayStation 4 has led over the Xbox One since launch and how the gap has changed. 

so good.gif

Lets hope the trend continues into december. We could be looking at 2 million by next year.
