I guess I don't understand the big deal if X1 wins one NPD. People act like its a big deal but its one market...they're still getting killed in total sales.
That one market is the biggest. So, yeah, it does matter.
Does it really though? If you win one market and your competition still sells really well in that market and dominates on total sales what exactly are you winning. I would say the only reason you think it matters so much is because of how badly the X1 has been losing. I just don't see winning any one market being important if the competition still wins total sales. Last generation the 360 clearly won the US and is still in last place in sales behind the Wii and the PS3. Unless it wins by enough to put it on top in total sales for the week it doesn't matter.

Did it not matter last generation? Of course it did.

Actually that's exactly what I just said in my comment...it didn't really matter last generation because the 360 still ended up in last even though it dominated the US. One win in a single market doesn't matter when the PS4 is still dominating total sales. Plus look at everything X1 had to do to finally beat the PS4 in what was one of the weakest PlayStation markets last gen...all the while Sony basically did nothing. Once the holiday deals end and Sony's strong line up starts next year I don't think the X1 sales will sustain themselves. Can you give me any reasons why its important other than saying X1 needs a win? If your favorite football team's rival wins the Superbowl do people really care about that one time you beat them once?

Basic Math. US and UK are MS strong points. They lose those and they are screwed. I don't have the stats to prove it, but I'm pretty sure the U.S. spends the most on games for these said consoles. So, yeah, it does matter.
