When was the last time Sony finished third? The PS3 era? This is crazy stuff.

What a well built up argument and fantastic post! This is one of the reason why you are my favorite member on VGC and a prime example why this forum is not dieing.

I mean, I was basically right and you were wrong. Instead of admitting that and actually apologizing, you went in the other nonsensical direction. Hence the reaction. There's nothing left to say. Not going to discuss with you any further.

Appologizing for what? For seeing through you fanboyish outbursts and hidden agenda? Or that you constantly hide behind cherry picked facts and ill-written arguments? Yeah, if you want that level of discussion there is a place for that, and it's called the youtube comment section.

There's nothing else that tracks ww so there's no other sources except for estimates for a few areas. In this instance, it's more likely that the ps4 won dec ww that the ns.

its better just to use official WW sell through or shipment numbers.

True but that's good for totals or the correcting of estimates. For weekly or monthly ww numbers which has no official numbers, it's silly to dismiss this site's ww estimates when we're on this site's forum.

I dont think its that crazy if your competitor have hot product at the moment and xbox one is 100 dollars cheaper whole month.

PS4 might be 3rd this month as well in NPD, depends how many xbox ones were sold half a month with 199 price tag.

The latest results puts the XB1's US LTD numbers to around 20.12m. Assuming that the US makes up around 60% of the XB1's WW sales, it has sold 33.53m total.

Might be a bit interesting to compare that to EA's estimate from earlier this year that PS4 and XB1 combined would reach 105m by the end of the year (I'd assume that one of the industry's biggest publishers could make an accurate prediction): https://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/ea-ps4xbox-one-will-reach-105-million-units-sold-i-33390513/?page=2

If your assumption is accurate PS4 and XB1 would combined be at 107.13mil, 2.13mil higher than EA's estimate which would make sense as EA might have underestimated PS4 and XB1X sales numbers. 33.53mil for XB1 indeed doesn't sound too weird. Maybe about a mil more, who knows.
