Vgchartz numbers for Xone in US are probably overtracked by 200k already (because of the overtrack in october, they got now really bad numbers for november too...), so please, just wait november NPD, it will be better than these randoms numbers and predictions

I agree with Mrchaos, wait november, it will be better than tons of identics threads

. And eh, if the xone win nov npd,  toastboy44562 will post something good , it's way better than all of these topics :)


I'd rather it lose and see toastboy try to make up some BS why it still won or something  ridiculous.

Nov is definitely getting interesting. There was a post on Gaf where the member said the PS4 has started to overtake the XBO in sales for the week in his district.  And by quite a bit.  The PS4 seems to be remaining on top on Amazon hourly, while the XBO Unity Bundle is starting to slowly fall, like the other XBO bundles did. And the PS4 Destiny Bundle is hanging above the next XBO SKU on the list.

Like I said before, the PS4 has remained above the XBO on Wal-Mart and Gamestop all month. And on both sites, it seems the PS4 has moved up a few spots, while the XBO has dropped a few. On Wal-mart, the PS4 has 5 SKUs (#1, #9, #10, #16, and #18) in the Top 20 (when just looking at PS4 and XBO items), while XBO has 3 (#2, #4, and #12.)

MS hardly has this month on lock. If Sony pulls off a victory in Nov, as well, it will be quite devastating for MS, considering how much profit they are sacrificing this month and next just to try and beat the PS4.

That is a very good point. MS has to continuously rely on burst sales with bundles and price drops and game 
s. They get a temporary boost and then drop back down while Sony sales stay consistently higher with occasional sales spikes. Sony can still take November if they get some spikes to make up the difference. I simply mean that this is MS best chance to win one and I really hope they lose...it would be a heavy blow to lose this NPD after everything they've done and Phil Spencer made that comment about how the last quarter is the only one that matters if you win. They're either going to have a hollow close victory or a devastating loss.

Well played MS. Well played.

They've gone from making all the wrong moves to making all the right ones.

Yes, MS will win November. The homeland will be retaken, it starts now!


Even if it manages a close win in November it won't sustain the sales and the PS4 will continue to dominate which is absolutely great in my book.

Yes, being forced to drop the price $150 dollars US in less than a year in order to be competitive is making all the right moves..

Uh, yeah?  What would you have them do?  Keep Kinect in the box when it isn't being supported or stay the exact same price as the PS4 despite having poorer performance?  Dropping the price and Kinect is absolutely the right move.  The PS3 was way more expensive than the Xbox 360 (despite whatever extra was in the box).  Dropping the price was good then just like it's good, now.

i'm pretty sure Xbox One will outsell PS4 2 to 1 , after all those marketing , promo's and price cuts they've made , getting 50/50 actual units sold against the PS4 should be the minimum.... if for whatever reason PS4 wins November... MS should just focus on WiiU

Keep dreaming kid.
