Wait a second, so the Xbox One did sell the most Software ? If so that's crazy

Re-read it. Here -

More importantly, it is gratifying for our team to see Xbox continue to prove it’s the best place to play games. January NPD Group figures released today revealed Xbox* sold the most games across all console platforms in January with 2.27 million units sold, making up 47 percent of software market share.

Notice the * after Xbox.

Further down the page...

*Across Xbox One and Xbox 360

Title seems mis-leading, because nowhere in the post does it say anything about Xbox One being on top in SW sales. Its only the title.

"Seems misleading"? If XBox One did not actually lead in software sales then the title is deliberately misleading as the title is "XBox One Leads US Game Sales in January".

Who knows though? For all we know the XBox One does sell crazy software numbers and did in fact beat out all other consoles.

 

If not however, then this is downright pathetic. No ways around that, regardless of what the body of the article holds. The title (which unfortunately majority read) is meant to mislead.

Let us wait for CreamSuguar though. I am sure he will leaks some #s to sort this all out.
