We seem to agree then. I dont know if I was the one who missunderstood the other making this pointless, but I apologise either way.


No need to apologise.  Spirited discussion is always fun.

This is why you're dead wrong, we have the numbers. Were you even checking the NPD threads?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183162

The numbers are not from Sony but from people who have them so I won't be surprised if they're not worth anything to you (tho they are...)

EDIT: I can't find the May thread


Thank you for proving my point.

This thread uses unoficial numbers from suposed "insiders". People that have access to those numbers can´t tell the figures unless they are disclaimed by the companies. Go ahead, ask any game jornalist in the twitter. I asked, they don´t know, and in fact, they don´t care unless it a major event like January (not February, sry) 2 to 1. And we only know the final numbers because Microsoft disclaimed them at that time.

And unless Sony started to play the humble winner I can´t understand why in the last two months they didn´t say the outsold the competition by more than twice COMBINED, if we belive those Neogaf insiders.

Remember that Thuway used to be one of those trusted insiders.

Gonna be fun. Even if VGchartz doesn't deny PS4 won in US in June from what I have read here.



Lol. Numbers show their console losing. Course of action: deny numbers, attempt to discredit source.

Gold, I tells ye, gold.

Do you know what time exactly ? Since I live in France I will probably have the numbers during the night.

Oh dear lord. Look up 'Numbers Waifu' ;)

NPD has direct leakers to GAF. The numbers are real, and widely known. Because they are so widely known, IF Microsoft had proof that they were incorrect, they would have done their normal PR statement regarding the NPD results. You can even translate what they have to say :

"Xbox One is the #1 Selling Console" > self explanatory

"Xbox family sold the most consoles this month" > means that PS4 beat XB1, but XB1+360 sold more than PS4+PS3

"Xbox sold the most software this month" means that XB consoles didn't do well enough to talk about, but they focus on what's postive

"no statement" > means that it was a disaster

LOGIC sir. If they have good news, lord knows MS is not shy about shouting it from the rooftops month after month. They admirably kept going even when the XB1 was losing, though they got awfully creative with their wording. Now that the defeats are getting more and more consistent and dire, they've begun to clam up.

Their silence speaks volumes. If they had something good to say, THEY WOULD SAY IT.

Even Pachter, who long held to the belief that XB1 was constantly around the corner from retaking the US, has basically admitted that XB1 is going to lose big even in price cut month.

And I can't stress it enough, denying NPD results makes you look unhinged. They have been confirmed by ACTUAL REAL PEOPLE IN THE KNOW AND IF THE NUMBERS GIVEN WERE FALSE MICROSOFT WOULD HAPPILY CORRECT/DENY.
