Every Christmas the numbers go crazy around here. PS4 is likely the hardest to track cause the system that sells best has a larger margin of error. Something that doesnt sell too well like Vita is easier. If you are over by 20% on a million that is 200,000 and on 100,000 is only 20,000.
It doesnt help when companies give wonky numbers like X1 selling "nearly 10 million." I woulldnt be shocked if X1 sold less than 10 million thus far.
I think financials for MS and Sony are in the area of a month and those are the only numbers I trust. Hopefully MS splits off X1 from 360 numbers this year.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
