I think things will get bad for the XB1 once the PS4 price starts to drop. The problem that the XB1 has is that its pretty much a less powerful PS4. With a handful of exclusive games. 

Exclusives are not enough. Gears and halo is not going to be enough. Especially when you consider that thy only region the XB1 stands a chance of doing well is in NA of which they are already loosing that region. In this industry, thinsg don't get beter for anyone. If you don't have momentum you don't have it. As more people get a console, they help push even more people to get it too. Thats usually how it works. 

Thats why I feel that by 2016, the market would be so slanted in favor of the PS4 that theer will be very little competition. Well nowhere near as bad as the PS2 but yu get the idea.

Hopefully WiiU can see some growth due to software come November. It was competing against XB1 worldwide not long ago, I'd like to see it lead again.

Isn't the X360 overtracked on here by a couple million?

Ahhh worst people on the internet i like the sound of that...although everyone knows the real worst people on the internet are people who defend musicians/actors/celebrities that touch children or rape people, and get away with it cause their famous. 

Um..future of NPD? Aquamarine quit and Cream has no source all we have now is..dare I say it VGchartz

#we'redoomed.

I found strange that no one complimented x1 for closing tha gap this month./jk sorry couldn't resist.

Well, that's not the only sources on GAF, but it certainly doesn't bode well.

I hate the way NPD does business. I'd prefer it if they kept software to themselves, but published console sales freely.

Maybe we can start a twitter campaign to get Sony to publish their own sales results monthly. These are game consoles, not nuclear fission devices.

Anyway, if I had to guess, we're looking at a dark period in sales charting. There will probably be many missing pieces, much longer delays to get info, etc, unless some other awesome leakers pop up.

but doesn't ioi have direct access to NPD numbers too?

Which if he is a smart business man as I believe he is he will share with you for a fee. No doubt Neogaf will adopt a similar subscription policy which would explain aqua's and others strong desire to make things even more private and controlled and want people to join those forums instead, even tho they are already quite difficult to get into. If the gaf isn't already doing it I wouldn't be suprised if in the future if they offer a subscription model. I mean what better way to regulate the population than to charge them money?

Correct in that it will be nowhere near as bad like the PS2 era and with Wii U most likey out of the way and basically 2 competing consoles and some exclusives, the XOne should should do somewhere between the original Xbox and the 360. 40 to 60 Million would be my guess which is not horrendous if a profit can be made. Still however not convinced that the powered difference is enough to put off most consumers. Its not like we are talking Wii U specs vs PS4/ XOne. Now that is a gap.
