Don't count Microsoft out of November's NPD yet as they have marketing for battlefield 1 and Titan fall 2, not to mention the huge sales and promos they're known for on Black Friday if not most of November. Plus now Microsoft can market the hell out of their UHD 4K blu Ray player and even throw in free 4K movies to sweeten the deals.

It's certainly the biggest reason I bought the S. Love the visual upgrade from regular blu ray.

Of course this needs to get a thread to let everyone know!

Xbox One beating the PS4 4/12 or 1/3 this year is quite an achievement!



Pocky Lover Boy!

Only way Microsoft can make a comeback is with Xbox Scorpio and I doubt that this will happen.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

I also think the Xbox one s actually offers more of an upgrade reason than the ps4 slim for regular owners of either. 

There is not much reason for a ps4 owner to upgrade to a slim.  It's not like it was large to begin with.  

Why would owners of original console even consider getting the Slim model with the same hardware? HDR is already in PS4, if they want to upgrade they get PS4 Pro. The only upgrade option for people who have OG XB1 is XB1 S which has UHD bluray and HDR with the same specs. People should boycott Microsoft for not enabling HDR in the regular Xbox One though. Does Microsoft expect people to buy Xbox One, then Xbox One S and then Scorpio next year? 

We will see if people choose to upgrade to the Xbox one s or not. 

My point was that it does have things that would be considered an upgrade where as the ps4 s does not which you reinforced.  Even the original ps4 wasn't exactly bulky.

How things have changed. Last gen the 360 would beat the ps3 a lot more than that.  Ps4 really turned it around.

the ps4 s is not suposed to be an upgrade, the pro is the upgrade. original ownes would jump to it, new buyers who dont want to spend the extra money will buy the slim.

Like radek said, the x1s is not much of an upgrade if all it has is a 4k bluray players and they held the hdr update on the original, if anything consumers should be angry at MS for not allowing hdr on original x1 and forcing people to upgrade.

And also, dont think ps4 pro is stealing only ps4 sales now, Im pretty sure a lot of people planing on geting the x1 decided to wait for the pro and skip the x1.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Ms or any other company would not be pleased with outselling a competitor in one country. Come on, NPD whoppi.

Especially when all 3 months amount to a ~170K victory, and your competition still has 1.5M+ worth of breathing room, and a PS4.5 siphoning sales away from the regular PS4.

This. There's also the fact that BF1 launches next week, so it's going to play a larger role in Oct than Nov sales. And the BF1 bundle hasn't exactly been lighting up the charts on any online store, which I doubt will change much a few weeks after it launches. I also expect both companies to have at least one $249 SKU for Black Friday. Couple that with 2 months worth of preorders for the Pro, and it will be an easy and pronounced victory for the PS4.
