Don't get me wrong that's great for them. I just mean they said the same thing last year "best Black Friday ever". Everyone was going nuts that combined with pro launch I saw people predicting 2 million or more for November 2016 npd. Turns out it only did 1.1 million which was down from 1.5+ million for November 2015.

 

  I just notice being in a lot stocks that when a company has a bad piece of news or info dropping they make sure to throw out a bunch of good news to go with it. Obviously winning worldwide is much more important but loosing a holiday month in a consoles biggest market isn't good either.

if they had the same PR last year and won, what makes you so confident they have lost with practically the same PR this year? I also don't understand the point about Sony not winning one month in one country being a big deal. They aren't MS, this isn't the be all and end all.

And I take it that since PS4 'only' sold 1.1m last year with Pro release, Xbox One should be comfortably above it this year, and if it's not, it will be disappointing too, right? Especially as PS4 sales didn't decline so heavily leading up to the Pro release like Xbox One sales did before the X

I'm just pointing out that PS4 went from 1.5 million to 1.1 million despite having the best best Black Friday ever and pro launch. And this statement may be a spin of sorts however good.

 

and to me it's not about who wins and more about numbers. It's not about Xbox winning for it to be a successful month. It did 1 million last year. A slight decline because of it being it's 4th year and lacking games compared to last holiday can be expected for the s. The x will also eat into S sales a bit. So I expect 750k for s and 400k for X. Less and I will be disappointed win or loose. More and I'll be pleased again win or loose.
