In the July results that is. We seem to be returning to a baseline this month, and what that number comes out to be on a weekly average will be clear as a bell.


I doubt X1 sales will be significantly lower in July, now that the price cut is in effect it should be pretty close or slightly more than the PS4


Remember that BenV said early in June that the pricecut had xb1 in the lead? That means that xb1 had a massive bubble of sales, and to go on to lose by 70k+ for the month means that sales completely collapsed back to previous levels or even below (25k/week or less).Iow, I believe that xb1 will sell between 90-115k in July at best. Ps4 185-215k.

 

If so, then we're looking at another rough 100k in the hole for xb1, and all the sales charts from GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy support that observation in terms of xb1 being heavily outsold once more.


rought 100k? tge X1 was never outsold by 100k in a month.

ouch

I will adamantly defend the drill here. Firstly, I am a Sony fan, owning their consoles primarily in case people think I'm ignoring facts instead of realizing the obvious.

He clearly states in his OP that "Now that the price cut has been announced" so this obviously implies that data taken before the price cut should be ignored. So the gap that he implies in the beginning of the OP is irrelevant to prediction.

Furthermore, he made a prediction that clearly is region specific so he obviously realizes PS dominance globally.

Do I think he's wrong? Yes, I do. I think PS4 will win in NA as well as worldwide. But that is opinion, not fact yet.

The difference stands at almost 3/4 of a million(a figure that is mostly negligible to the OP prediction as the starting figure should be to date of XBO price cut). While it's unlikely XBO will sell this amount in excess of PS4 it is still not yet beyond the realms of possibility.

BUT I want the fact to remain, that while the OP was incorrect in the percentage gap of the two consoles at this this time. it should only be now taken into account that the PS4 is outselling the XBO.

But to make people not think I'm an XBO die-hard, I would like to know from TheDrill at what point would you consider it impossible for the XBO to outsell PS4 lifetime in NA?
P.S. This is still the best thread on the forum, by far :D

Thank you.

I am content that somebody understands.

And people keep forgetting that during christmas/new year/black friday timeline consoles sell a lot, X1 can easily sell 1 million during that time.

 No one is saying Xbox One sales won't rise in the holiday season. But it almost sounds like you are saying that the leading consoles sales won't rise too. Which at this point seems the only way your soon prediction of "soon" would work. Winning the right two months of the year by a narrow margin isn't going to happen or help if it does.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

That was US only. Read the title of the article it says NPD.

There is no way those numbers are accurate, X1 went on sale, and vgchartz showed its sales being doubled.

Even before the price cut vgchartz never showed that much of a favor for PS4.
