I guess Project Cars didn't go as projected. PS4 #1? I thought Xbone would win this one as well. I was considering the possibility that Xbone would give a bigger fight in the US than it currently does considering the past month win. Perhaps Xbone will be majorily a holidays console this generation unless something dramatic happens, like Minecraft 2 exclusive and everybody wants it. Maybe the NPD of last month was for PS4 as some people suggested: NPD fixing some error in numbers or something? |
No, last month there was a confluence of factors that worked in Xb one's favour: Some retailer specials, Batman special edition bundle (shifting sales from April to June), and perhaps one or two other things. The only chance Xb one had of winning May was if those facotrs favouring Xb one bled into May in a significant way, which they clearly did not. PS4 winning the USA is the new normal outside of the holidays. When the stars align for Xb one it will win the occasional non-holiday month. If PS4 has price parity with Xb one this holidays it's possible Xb one won't even win all the holiday months.
