Weak excuse based on little evidence. You're aware that every February sees higher sales because of the tax thing in America right?

Not an excuse, merely a possibility.

Sure, tax returns happen during February, but it's a bit hard to believe that the Xbox One is the only system to really benefit from it (unless other leaked numbers show otherwise) and so much at that.

Look at it this way: If Xbox One sales aren't NPD adjustments, March will be really good. If March is disappointing, you have already an excuse.

PS4 is marred by stock shortages, and WiiU, Vita and 3DS are systems that are simply not in demand/popular in the US.

March is always down over Feb, nice try.

Anyway to prove that February is always higher than January? Just curious because I always thought it was the other way around.

The last 4 - 5 years of NPD?

"With Xbox One and Xbox 360 combined, the Xbox platform sold more hardware than any other home console platform and held 43 percent of the home console market share in the U.S."

Lmao there's still doing this crap? Just be happy the XBO did so well this month, no need to combine platforms.


I remember all the shit PS got for doing the same thing. LOLLoLLol. However, I dont mind them doing it. as a business those are the products they sell.

VGchartz seems to disagree. Combined PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, XBONE, and PS4, Feb has never been bigger than January. I'm with Rol on this.

Doesn't matter too much since sales are sales, but they "feel" like adjustments.

EDT: These are global numbers. Give me a sec.

He can be wrong too. He was wrong about the Wii U.


I also love the notion that he isnt biased when he didnt mum a word about Ps4 being undertracked at all when in fact it was nearly as much as the XB1 ( the way he said it also made it seem like he was hinting XB1>ps4 too). He was also the one claiming Ps4 failure rate was higher than normal and "a very real problem" lolololo

Yes I realized I was using WW numbers, not US.

2007, 2009, 2011, and 2012 increased in US.

He can be wrong too. He was wrong about the Wii U.


Yeah he's mostly wrong.


You wish

And your little weird crusade against me is bizzare. I get along with virtually every member on this site and you constantly disagree with me for no reason.

Ive been off before. Majorly off. Im also on plenty of times. At least i give you guys stuff but no instead Joethebro says im wrong guys so just ignore any input that I give you 


Should have just ignored him.

True but Target got a decent sized shipment too though didn't it?  was just curious how gamestop was doing for shipments considering their Infamous bundle seems to be high in pre-orders.


Target. Ps4>>>>XB1 leading up to TF. Day after Titan fall Ps4 still ahead. Havent checked since though. My store however sold more Ps4s than XB1s since
