This is your (and everyone who is still grasping) problem. Youre completely ignoring the tidal wave shift of the last 12 months and still pointing back to an age where the PS3 kicked itself in the crotch for 5 years. We have a solid 10-12 months of data that shows of current generation figures and trends to go by but get ignored. 

Destiny, and a bundle, albeit white, for $10 off the price of the game and console managed to outsell the One by over 200,000 units in september witht he same software available, while a 50$ price advantage with free games for an entire month versus a single weekend of a bundle for $50 more of the PS4 saw similar results and the ONE had a white bundle available as well if we want to over emphasis teh cosmetic nature f the destiny bump. Keep in mind this is during the biggest shopping season of the year versus Spetember. Perspective.

We don´t know if it was 200K, but it could have been, the same way November could be a 200K lead for the XOne.

There is no "tidal force" anywhere, keep the hyperboles at there place. If anything other than the price advantage that influenced the early PS4 lead was the hardcore gamers delusion that Microsoft was a evil company trying to block the ownership of their games with a terrible, buggy and slugsh hardware, with no apeal to quality that Sony has...

Well, preaty much of this is gone now.

First. If you are going to quote a phrase get the phrase correct. I said tidal wave, not force. Secondly, hyperbole is a statement of exaggeration meant to be taken as a fact or literally. Unless you truly felt I meant the change in this generation is literally water contained in a huge wave generally cause by shifting plates in the ocean. What youre looking for is a metaphor which compares two things in nature or scope without drawing literal comparisons.

At the first bold either we use VGC numbers or we dont. So lets decide what numbers we will use to discuss sales because if not there is no point in disucssing them unless we want to talk in generalities. this entire thread is based on VGC data thus inherantly assumes we use those figures when debating. 

At the second bold. that is hyperbole. Nice work. I am sure you were just trying to teach me a lesson though. Right? Right.
