Well done Einstein! 

Not Einstein!

It's Houdini, genius...

Great numbers for PS4 and XBO.

Also, Xenoblade did pretty good. Greater than 200k for a JRPG on an install base the size of the Wii U's is solid.

Thank you! Hopefully more people understand the importance of fanbase size...

Good sales for Xenoblade X. Also, do we know how much did Splatoon sell if we take into consideration all the bundles and digital? 1.2 million? 1.3 million?

At any rate, a lot...

Each grey horizontal line represents 200k (I think, not sure) with the bottom one being 0 obviously so XB1 almost 1400k, PS4 almost 1600k, Wii U between ~450-~475k.

LTD difference between PS4 and XB1 is 1285k http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=192234278&postcount=1159

Very very good... and pretty graphs, thanks

This month:

Xenoblade Chronicles X > 200k
Devil's Third > 3k
Rise of the Tomb Raider - XBO: 170k (346k LTD); 360: 41k (66k LTD)

350k for the year on X1 for RoTR is kind of deppresing

Boutros said:
Official hardware numbers:

PS4 - 1.582m (+48.5% YoY)
XB1 - 1.376m (+6.1% YoY)
Wii U - 463k (-19.5% YoY)
360 - 139k (-55.0% YoY)
PS3 - 29k (-83.3% YoY)

Such a pretty YOY growth for PS4 and deppresing down for PS3... PS4 done brilliantly and X1 done very strong, by Amazon thread we would guess the gap was a lot bigger.

Shadow1980 said:
I wonder what the total sales for the year for the 360, PS3, and Wii were. Also, we still aren't getting any 3DS numbers.

Well, I'm playing some MCC with a friend now, but once I'm done I'll start up with some charts.

Yes, go do the only thing you are good for.

Do you want us to call you a god prediktor?

AlfredoTurkey said:
That top 10 of 2015 is depressing as shit. Same old, same old. It's a far cry from the 90's.

Not the same complainer I was about the Fifas and CoDs buyers... everyone expend their money on what they like... but I agree with you that taste in gaming have fallen really down, much like music have been on a downward  trend for a long time. At least we still get very good games and we need to comply with our mission of supporting them.

Nope, he is the new Panda... but next month he could become patcher.

Shadow1980 said:
Well, it's 4:15 AM where I'm at. I can barely focus. I have a couple of charts done, but I still need some more data to finish the rest. I'm going to call it a night. I'll get a few charts out in the morning on early afternoon, but I have a lot more planned besides my usual.

I will say one thing. Looking at the number I have, on a launch-aligned basis the PS4+XBO did just as good combined for Q4 as the PS2 & Xbox did combined for their third Q4s (Q4 '02 for the PS2 & Q4 '03 for the Xbox). I mean it's literally a tie.

So you have become an useless senile man just like Gribble and are falling apart drolling all over the place?

As expected, PS4 has won. Congrats Sony !

Very Good numbers for both PS4 and X1 though.

And Amazon continues to demonstrate its reliability.

Says the guy that was discussing it wouldn't be reliable for December.

Yes... Xenoblade X is outselling Xenoblade on Wii on a lot smaller userbase... now we can propely consider the importance of userbase, right?

You might want to go back and check that. I reduced my gap prediction to 200k - 250k from 300k - 350k based on the XB1s performance towards the end of the month. And what's the gap?

Maybe alzheimer is getting to you, but you were doubting Amazon capacity to predict, based on PS4 still being ahead even when it got up in price... then after you saw the GAFers saying that PS4 was doing good on other retailers you gone back to believe... you were saying that because of the risk of not getting the gift for christmas None would buy their console online for the heatest week of the year and thus we couldn't believe the ranks to predict the winner... and when you come back to believe in it you just cut your gap prediction.

I still said the PS4 would win based on what we saw on Amazon. I just reduced the gap because I think Sony could have competed better towards the end of the month. It seems to me that I was right to reduce the gap.

On gap reduction yes (although we can't confirm if your reasons to reduct reflect on RL occurences). But accept that you were doubting Amazon Accuracy. I'm sure Badley, Shadow and Insipid will remember it too.
