I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I see where you’re coming from, but there are a few things being neglected in this argument, as I see it:

1. How often does Sony parade being #1? Surprisingly infrequently. Idk about other people, but I’ve been quite surprised at how rarely Sony takes the chance to mention that they are not only #1 globally, but also specifically in the US. When was the last time they gave a comment on NPD? On the other hand, MS in the past has won a single NPD after a long series of losses, but takes the opportunity to announce being the “#1 console in America”.

2. See the last part of #1. If MS would have won this month/Black Friday, there’s no way they wouldn’t have blasted this from the rooftops by now. Yet we’ve heard nothing from them (unless I missed something from today). 

3. Another possibility is that Sony and MS and Nintendo don’t actually know each other’s data yet. Not sure if that’s likely or not. 

Ur right Sony doesn't do it often. And I'm not even going to try to explain why I think Sonys statement may have been 'pr fluff'. I think Sonys doing fantastic and it's hard to get the opinion I have about it without people interpreting it as something anti-Sony, as that wasn't my intention in the first place. Sonys been killing it and I expect them to keep killing it.

 

as far as Microsoft releasing a pr if they win npd, yes I expect they would. But seeing as November isn't over it would be a bit confusing to the public if they announce a November 'win' while it isn't even December yet. I think if they did win it they will say something by next Monday, or Tuesday.  

 

 

No, you’re good man. I’ve seen your posts, and you’re quite reasonable. Respect:) TBH, I prefer PS4 over XBO, but I think XBO will take the month. Without stock shortages, according to reports and what we saw, it seems PS4 would’ve won for sure; but XBO continued to sell well, unopposed, for just too long from Friday-Monday (or was it Thursday) online and Saturday-Monday in stores. 

As for your second paragraph, I get what you’re saying, but “November” according to NPD ended 2d ago on Sunday. They could’ve simply added a disclaimer to the end of their statement such as: “November’s tracking for November ended 11/26”. But who knows. I still wonder if all 3 are ignorant to each other’s numbers  

Does anyone remember how long after BF the winner for November was announced last year?
