That's two Black Friday surveys now where the Xbox One has been ahead of the PS4. Assuming that Microsoft had plenty of stock (there were multiple retailers sources reporting a large Xbox One stock ready for Black Friday), the Xbox One might just take the lead in the US this week, since Sony likely concentrated far more of their units on their Europe/Australia/New Zealand/Brazil launch. The Xbox One could also potentially pass the Wii U's first 2 month sales (6 weeks total) which were at 2.2 million, in just 3 weeks.


It's all the same survey actually. Here's their wallmart info:

Basically it just tells you infoscout is very very very likely to be full of bologna. No way is the XBONE selling 50% more than the 360 at wallmart. Plus logically wallmart and target should have similar allocations, yet their info says 360 sold 350% more than XBONE at target.

No one should be taking this data seriously.

 

 

Regardless of that laughable data, I do believe that XBONE sold more than PS4 on BF. However going off VGCHARTZ data the XBONE is still 338,254 behind the PS4 in America. If the PS4 sells 150k for black Friday, XBONE needs almost 500k. Doable, but not something I expect. The stock just isn't there.


It doesn't say that the XOne is selling more, it's  just bringing in more money than the $99 360

Do people just make stuff up if they don't like what they see??

It's a survey, it's not remotely based on $$

Hey man, good lookin' out! Through your link, I was able to scoop up a PS3 copy of GTAV for a dude I know who was saying he needs another copy. $42.79 and I'll have it by the 4th. If he were here, he'd thank you too. I wish I was planning on getting a new TV because I wouldn't mind that 55" Panny VT.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Surveys are predicting trends. It is estimated guesses off a high (or somewhat high) amount of data recieved. It shows what the trend most likely will be.

And as I've said by this point now multiple times Microsoft has more stock than Sony in America so im not even sure why this data is being questioned by any one by this point. Kind of hard to compete when you don't have enough units to do so.

Question Xbox One Nation... I'm debating whether, or not to go all digital for Xbox this gen, but I heard instant switching is only for digital... Is this true? Can I play a disc game while watching TV at the same time? Disc, not digital for that matter.

It is true but digital installs are huge too so that plays a factor as well.

YOu can switch games with voice even with a disc but digital is always there of course which is the difference.
