| Shadow1980 said: It can still be very close. If VGC is any indication, over half of hardware sales for the 360 and PS3 over the last several years has been on BF week. If that is indeed the case, then if the PS4 takes BF week then it could easily close the gap for the month. Also, it's likely that VGC is still overtracking the XBO, which means the gap so far could easily be well under the 180k they have it at right now. November is still a toss-up as far as I'm concerned. Black Friday week is just too big, and can swing the whole month all by itself. Oh, and I wonder if this will be the biggest first November ever for game consoles. Black Friday apparently took a while to get as big as it is. Up until around 2009-2010, December was usually proportionally much larger than November, but for the last several years November has been much closer to December. |
They over tracked the sales for October by a decent Margin for the X1. They multipled the increase for the first week of november by more than triple and that fits in the MS PR statement. The problem is they were over tracking so if they over tracked the October week by 15k then they over tracked the November week by 45-50k. The gap is likley closer to 130k which means it's do-able for PS4 in my book. Still think X1 will narrowly win NPD and I said 100k win but the more PS4 keeps dominating BF the more I think that gap is getting smaller and smaller.
| celador said: X1 by at least 200k. If it isn't a comfortable win for MS they should be worried |
As I said above I dn't think MS were leading before BF by anything more than 150k. I doubt they will lose by 200k if Sony wins BF. Less than 100k win is more likely.
