Oh to generate bias because thats the agenda.  To me both companies have weak January months coming.

 

I don't think you can get much more from January than on PS4 this month. It's January ffs. You expecting AAA exclusives?

And it pisses over XB1 regardless

Not at all.  A planned weak month is still a weak month though.

So we're looking at this?

1. PS4<1.582m (down YoY)
2. XBO>1.376m (up YoY)

I think they were talking about yearly, not monthly sales

Oh really? That's..possible.

Edit: Oh but this December is still the best one for XBO so it has to be up YoY.

Outside of Kingdom Hearts, which is another HD remaster, the public in general has no idea what any of those games are. I doubt Johnny and Suzy in Alden, Iowa are saying, 'Oh finally I've been waiting for Yakuza!'

Most of those games don't appeal to the general populace and won't be system sellers.

come up with something new other than the same old "nobody cares about game" downplay tactic, you should know by now that when quality software is released in high volume people buy systems, and these games are all exclusive which means they will be bought on the sony console, not to mention resident evil which gribblegrunger didn't list because its multiplat, will sell probably three times as much on ps4 than xbox one along with the current amazon position (which is now officially relevent again) for PS4 is #5 with Xbox One in the 20s so PS4 will, logically, take the month because we actually have evidence to support that

What? If you walked up to the street and asked people what these are how many would say PS4 games coming in January that I'm hyped for? More than likely none of them. Its great that Sony has all these 3rd party games but I doubt that it leads to an explosion of sales for these games.

Then why is Horizon Zero Dawn on his?

Yup, pretty much. And yeah, they both suck, but that makes sense as Jan is one of the worst months.

Sony's counter attack starts.

Hopefully PS4 never loses a month ever again.

Console needs to be rewarded for its library with total domination of the market like the PS2.

Now where are all those people that were saying XB1 would win because of number of bundles on amazon?

That was what was frustrating me in the Amazon thread. We've been through this so many times and yet for some reason people who had been using the Amazon thread as long as I have suddently decided it was number of bundles and not positions that counted.



 

The PS5 Exists.

LMAO! Or is the bet null because Scale never came. He could argue that it could have if it was released

Sums it up nicely... 

1st party for both are pretty bad hoenstly. Sony's had the huge help from 3rd parties. 

Are both of youkidding me? 

At least sony has SOMETHING.

Its taking things to another level trying to compare something to nothing at all.

And there is gonna be buzz, horizon zer dawn is right around the corner. And lets not forget ME marketing deals.

Huge help from the same third parties making the games you are calling meaningless?
