| binary solo said: OK. Pretty sure I have almost exact PS4 number assuming Xb one 305K is pretty much correct to within 1000 Based on NPD PR from the venture beat article: "Console hardware sales increased by 3 percent over October 2014,” he said. “This was due entirely to [Xbox One and PlayStation 4] generation sales, which rose by 12 percent to offset the 66 percent decrease in hardware sales for last generation consoles.” PS4+Xbone is 12% up on PS4+Xb one Oct 2014. Oct 2014 Xb one + PS4 *12% = 553,831-305K (Xb one) = 248,851 for PS4. Better than the 230K extrapolated from Zhuge's deleted tweet, but not much better. 50K down YoY which is almost 20%. But I am surprised NPD didn't comment that PS4 is down YoY while Xb one is up. So the fact is all hardware is down bar Xb one. But somehow NDP/VB decided to say PS4+Xb one is up YoY. Weird and quite misleading. |
Problem is we can't be sure whether they mean actual units sold or revenue in these comments.
