i think the reason why ms band is so popular coming out of the gates is the fact that it works across all major mobile platforms (ios, android, and wp).  apple watch will be locked to ios and the android stuff is also locked to android.  

good decision by microsoft.  

 That is very much the case.  No reason to make it exclusive to just Windows phones when the market is waaaaay bigger. Was a smart move but i am surprised to see it selling out.  I kind of want one but ill prob wait until after i get a new phone

I never got the appeal of those fitness bands. I figured just good planning would let you handle most of the stuff yourself without using a tech device for it.

At the same point I don't see the point of Nintendo's sleep monitor thing either. Though if they both work and people enjoy them, I suppose its worth it. Making it cross-platform was definitely a good idea on Microsoft's part as well. Its pointless to hide an accessory device behind an OS ecosystem.

It seems like Xbox One is going to beat the 360's 2nd November NPD just from the first 2 weeks of November.

Yet some still think XB1 will do about 500k ... despite doing 311k in March with Titanfall at $449 ........

And 2m last holiday at $500.

How much did 360 sell November 2006 NPD? I think you have that data.

511k.

If you have an email address, I'm happy to send you my charts with loads of sales info I have accrued over the years.

Yeah, I think Xbox One could potentially top that just from the first 2 weeks of November, and almost certainly with the first 3 weeks. The fact that Xbox One is currently outselling PS4 2 to 1 or more on Amazon is a good sign that the first week of November will be huge, especially since the SO bundle is getting more stock. And the 2nd week will still have the $350 deal going on + Halo: MCC's release. 

Also, what did PS3 sell November 2007 NPD? 

I'll PM you my email address so you can send me your sales info.

PS4 did 466k, Nov was never a strong one for PS3.

Sent my shipment and NPD excel spreadsheets, you'll have fun trawling through the data!

Woo! The KI community is going to be so happy with this. I like that little joke about you have no excuses about the customizations because frankly, the community kind of acted like dicks about customizations since the launch of Season 2 lol

MS edging ever closer to $400B market cap. Stock is doing so well lately.

Question If X1 COD: AW run @ 900p 60Hz will the PS4 ver also Run at 60Hz 1080p? I asked because I saw this article about it running at medium settings and got the impression that medium settings were somehow better than what the X1 outputs at the lower resolution.

I've seen some video footage of both the Xbox One version and the PS4 version. They looked identical to me, so I think the only difference is 900p vs. 1080p

Wouldn't trust any video you watch online they don't do these games justice. I realized this after watching tons of BF4 footage and not really being impressed. Then when I watched it live at home on my TV I was pretty impressed.
