XBO sales after going up in price must have been horrible, I mean, it was cheaper for 2 whole months. No one in their right mind would buy it. In the end it only got 2 weeks on ''momentum sales'' and it managed to do better without titanfall hype on the horizon. 

Ps4 is the one supposed to be selling on record pace, not XBO. I have different expectations for both. 

Undoubtedly, the XB1 did better after the price went back down. However, looking at Amazon's rankings for February, it's just not enough. Microsoft's exclusive marketing for Evolve didn't help and The Order: 1886 is on the horizon. As for the PS4, apparently we have different expectations for the system. I expected it to drop YOY, so I found the NPD results unsurprising. You had higher expectations, so obviously, you have interpreted the results differently.

True, that's right. 

Looking exclusively at Amazon is misleading tho, when it comes to see Evolve marketing effect. It didn't have any bundle, so probably didn't do anything tho.

i highly doubt order will change much, ps4 will continue to sell in the same pace. I was expecting ps4 to be down YOY as well, but it was bellow 30-40k of my prediction. Sub 200k was outside my range of prediction.

But you are definitely right, different people have different POV's.
