NPD numbers for April and May are going to be absolutely hilarious. Suuuuuuuuure XB1 has been outselling PS4 this month :P Suuuuuuuuuure VGC has been TOTALLY accurate and never has to do adjustments. They were SPOT ON in March weren't they?

Delusion is just remarkable. People adjust their own realities to fit their views.


May 10th numbers are available, X1 outselling ps4 again in US and UK


Remember what I told you about delusions? Here ya go. Microsoft confirmed the April NPD.

Yeah I think it would be wrong to think VG numbers are anything but wrong right now based on current NPD.

Even if they are slightly wrong


Does being literally 89% wrong count as slightly?

 VGZ:  217k
 NPD: 115k

Xbox 360 has dominated USA  last generation, and people forget that even with all the bad reputation, the higher price cut X1 didn't sell significantly less than the PS4 in here.

In the USA, as of today the Xbox one only sold  approximatively only 11 % less than PS4 did

And for the last few weeks X1 sold on par or even slightly more than the PS4.

Now that the price cut has been announced, as well as Halo and the ability to run IE and netflix without paying for gold, I expect it to sell a lot more.

A considerable advantage is that all these announcement, especailly the price cut will convince a lot of xbox 360 owners to upgrade, and considering how well xbox 360 sold in USA, there are many of them.

The current difference between PS4 and X1 in the US is  322004 units.

That means that if xbox starts selling 10k more than it does currently,  (only a 20 % increase in sales) or about 60k, it needs only  32 weeks, or 8 months to catch up. Considering that it will sell a lot during Christmas, It will have more units sold in the US by January 2015, and start outselling it from there.

After that it will slowly grow and eventually sell more long a term considerably more than the PS4.

 

EDIT: Please learn to read, in the USA not worldwide, only in the USA.


Hmm, currently the preorder for the Kinectless Xbone is #130 on the Amazon charts. Not looking good for Microsoft. Too little, too late.

LOL, VGChartz had Xbone right next to PS4 the entire month yet it sells 80,000 less units. SO I think it safe to say that the neck to neck showing this week is also way off. On other news, Borderlands came out last week and was only available as part of a Vita bundle. Yes somehow 47,000 copies were sold and only 2,000 Vitas were sold. This is the worst math ever!
