lol...... so was PS4>One for December, but we know what happened there.

Your posting privileges should be put on timeout.

Care to explain? I didn't understand.

What I meant...

PS4 low stock hold the sales numbers in December = common sense and to be fair a fact (how much it holds the sales is debatable)
Xbone "fasterst selling console" in November = lie or spin (call what you want)


But again. We are not dealing with facts. Your assuming the PS4 would have still outsold the XB1 based on nothing but assumptions. This is the same thing that lead to you being wrong about NPD's.

Not only that, but you continue to go on about supply being the reason when again you don't know how the sales would have turned out.

its is your assumptions against NPD numbers.

Get over yourself for a bit.

I'm assuming what? Please link me.

And yeap... PS4 supply issue is a fact and you said that it isn't... I corrected you.

For last (now you have my comment about) I believe PS4 didn't outsold Xbone in NPD December because the supply.

did you say the same for the november npd otherwise this is pretty hypocrite

"fastest selling console" is not a fact.


Neither is assuming PS4 would have outsold the XB1 in NA if there was more supply, but for some reason people are treating it as such.


It may not be 100% fact but when one is constantly sold out and the other is not with a gap of less than 100,000 and both consoles approaching 1 million in sales for the time period, then it becomes a reasonable conclusion. Especially when the large week 3 shipment of PS4's sold out and put it over the X1 for that week.

All I needed was it isn't 100 percent fact.

It doesn't need to be a fact to be a very reasonable conclusion and one that you cannot ignore. Unless you want to look like a bias fool. The numbers are too close with the X1 being available and the PS4 not being available for too long. Sony sends a big week 3 shipment to NA. Not only does their console sell a good chunk more that week but it does so while selling out with the X1 still being available. If that doesn't strike someone then they're being intentionally blind.

We have Pokemon at 3.05 million in the US, and about 550k in December. Dare I say it is not MASSIVELY OVERTARKED?

Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing are very close, probably about right. Good job VGC.

you need to fix the link. 

Otherwise this is fantastic sales. So, how much is X/Y WW at now. That seems like at least 7 million is you put Japan and US together

Some good #NPD SW facts: #XboxOne YTD 2013: 4.8M retail games vs. 4.2M for PS4. COD & BF4 both sold better on #XboxOne.

The tie-ratio with digital is 2.9 that means about 1 million digital sales for Xbone.
