Hardly. The XB1 was more expensive for at least a week and a half of the month. I expect a January win for the XB1

you'll be wrong again buddy

I expected a close December, but you're right I was wrong. Xbox one is cheaper this month, so it had an edge.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

"The Xbox company also pointed out that PS4 sales slid year-over-year, and that Xbox One actually outsold Sony’s system in the second half of 2016."

That xbox slim did some serious damage this holiday. Congrats to Microsoft.

lol wow

Wow indeed.  The damage control by MS is real.  What's sad is that there are people who will see that as a victory worth celebrating, bringing about great change and turning the tide for MS in this gen...

Damage control for pointing something out?

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

i'm willing to bet you predicted a november win for xbox as well, but think january is an especially risky prediction on your part but its all in good fun

“December was the biggest month ever for Xbox One sales in the U.S., and Xbox One was the only [current-generation] console with year-over-year growth, according to NPD,” a Microsoft spokesperson said. “In addition, Xbox One was the top-selling console over the second half of 2016, following the announcement of Xbox One S at E3.”

Spoken like true losers LOL.

Well sorry. I mean both months saw the ps4 gain less than 200k on the XB1, and it had an advantage with pricing and new hardware. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it.
