Forums - Gaming - Insider: ps4 outselling x1 after initial rush

Just saw an interesting post on gaf Oct npd prediction thread from a trusted retail source,  according to him,  ps4 Is still outselling x1 after the initial explosion after the price drop.  He says also hearing Sony had a big bundles planned that will sell a tonne.  I personally think x1 wins Nov but it will be very close.  People expecting x1 to dominate are in for a surprise. Either way Nov npd is the most intriguing since March.

I think that XO will close the PS4 number this NPD.



I'm hearing different from another insider we all know and love



 

So with all the commentary on the XB1 increases due to the drop in price, and the speculation associated with that, I figured I'd let you guys know what it has looked like this week.

There was a veritable... well, explosion is a bit hyperbolic, but as soon as the price drop hit, we had a pretty drastic increase in XB1 sales. First day and forward, with the CoD launch as well, sold a bunch of the various bundles. But even just the last two days, that rush has tapered off significantly, and while still better than last month's pace, it isn't outselling the PS4 anymore. They're pretty close now, with just that rush of systems putting it ahead for the month so far.

We're getting rumors/whispers from corporate about Sony's intentions for the PS4, bundling, etc. but I honestly avoid speculating on any of that, especially since I know that Best Buy corporate does indeed allow false rumors to spread in various stores to try and pinpoint leakers. I don't really see a clear way to call this month yet, even with the MCC. This is probably the first month where I really think things will be interesting. There's too much up in the air, and I don't think you guys realize exactly how insane Black Friday and the weekend following are. Last year one store sold more consoles on BF than 3 combined months of year leading up to that point.

really?

who is the 'insider'?

Not someone that works at amazon, best buy or gamestop... clearly.

 

edit.  apparently he is it bestbuy.  the online store disagrees from what i recall.


How often are the online listing updated and are they aggregate?  Either way I am just passing along some info take it for what it is.

That's like literally the best source EVAR!


If you follow gaf these guys have been accurate all year.  Either way it's one source.... As good as any.  Does not mean much yet it is just info. 



Guys slow down, lets wait a little longer to see the numbers ;)

He basically says that Black Friday will decide the winner. Which is true.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I know who you are talking about. Wish he would be more open these days.



Good grief, anyone that thinks the XBO hasn't been outselling PS4 for the first week in the USA are delusional. XBO tracking ahead on most online sites for the past week shows that the sample size of online retailers will hold nationwide.

Now we move onto the second week, where we see PS4 gaining a bit of a resurgence on online charts but XBO still holding its own.

As for the month of November, does anyone know what percent of console sales are traditionally made in the last two weeks?
