Forums - Sales Discussion - November 2016 NPD Thread! Hardware estimates in the OP!

Well no surprise on the PS4 win. Pro virtually assured that. Nice to see MS continue to give vague, and entertaining in an almost sad kind of way, PR responses on months they can't tout #1. Now to see if it was close.

For the sake of the drama, I want the numbers to be close!

I hope we at least get some indication of how big the gap was, or a percentage up/down for each console.

I would say they are both down

Down? when ps4 has its best bf in the  history  of PlayStation. 

 

Owkej 

But BF is growing in many places around the world, so it isn't that simple. It still could have broken the record with the US being down



I'm just glad Xbox PR brought back the almighty MAU.

I don't know why MS say anything when they lose, why not just keep quiet

Nah it's nice  getting vague percentages on numbers we never see lol

We know it's the best Black Friday for Playstation but that could include Europe. Regardless of that, because of Pro preorders, I'd say it's up.

I hope that Xbox wins 'cause I'm making me some fries but I'm out of salt.



Congrats to Sony.



Another undefined "limited time" offer coming up, huh? I would take that as an indicator that sales are down YoY.

Isn't black friday an american thing? it may be growing tounf the world, but if sony says they have had the best BF in playstation history I am more likely to believe it means they are talking about NA.

Secondly, there is nothing to indicate that this is a global thing instead of an NPD related thing. You started his narrative of global black Friday, and now you have started going with it as fact. 

I'm not saying you are wrong, just saying its unlikely you are right.
