Any Xbox PR yet?

The fact that they haven't come up with anything at all yet spells real trouble.

The best thing likely they can point to is the best standalone retail sales for Destiny software, but that's not really a story they probably want people looking at too closely (as it's confirmed Destiny PS4 Bundle + Destiny PS4 standalone > X1 Destiny).

Maybe they'll have something to say about the "continued strong sales of Xbox One, showing growth from August"? I'd put money on that, since it's factually true in all probability, but not nearly enough to counter the PS4 bulge.

Gap is indisputably well over 1M in the US now heading into the holidays.

Haven't seen that.

Side note.

Xbone Chinatown release didn't help to win NPD.

Trying to come up with some spin.

According to Activision internal estimates, the PS4 system is the #1 platform worldwide for Destiny based on units sold through as of October 4, 2014.“

Wow

Madden Xbox One lost to PS3 (and was last place of the 4 releases).

Its also the official console of the NFL.... Thats $500M well spent MS.


Wait, the SF Ranking sales doesn't count bundles right? Because there was a FIFA and NFL 15 bundle for the Xbox One. Maybe that explains the low sales?

Hahahahha oh damn. Insane undertracking as expected, Pachter awfully wrong as expected. Destiny XBO>PS4 not including the bundle. I think with the bundle the PS4 version sold more.

Haven't heard anything yet and MS has been eerily silent. They haven't been this quiet since May NPD...

Not sure about that. Wasn't it about 750k before this month?  That would mean less tahn 300k for X1.  Possible, but not definite

of course it is. in EU Destiny PS4 would have crushed Destiny XB1. rest of the world is also favoring the PS4 a lot so naturally Destiny PS4 > Destiny XB1 worldwide.
