It's pretty damn obvious that's what it means.

Not really? How does "continued momentum" mean it outsold PS4 last week? Isn't momentum all about increasing in sales and awareness, and not about "being first"? Sorry, but that's not a conclusion you can make from that.

wow, you really reaching there..

It clearly said  it outsould the ps4 once again

Oh okay so it's I who is reaching lol. I ask for proof that XB1>PS4 the week before BF because there is none in the article. Also, it never said what you said in the second line. Don't make stuff up to try to win arguments.

I ask again. This never states it won last week.

 

Also it's pretty funny that they quote InfoScout for the US lol

pretty clear.
xb1 won this and last week by a small margin



Please explain. Show me how clear it is. Here is an example:

PS4 sold 60k last week and XB1 55k. In BF week XB1 sold 115k and PS4 113k. Both doubled in sales but XB1 took 1st place after being second last week...

Well you've failed to do some pretty basic math there ... 113k is not 60k doubled. We also have it at 66k here last week.

lol MCV quoting infoscout. can we wait for real numbers. MCV is reliable as VGCHARTZ


MCV gets the actual numbers and relates them every week...


yeah i wish i could find that article about wii u. anyway carry on



”The environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry” (Jack Tretton, 2009)

I just bought myself an x1... and I can't wait to play it. I was mad at ms when they revealed the x1... so much so that I bought a ps4.. after getting and exclusively playing the 360 since it's launch. I have a ps3 too, but never cared for its.controller. but, it's nice to see ms so aggressive in getting back it's customers. Any company willing to do these kinds of things to get me back, a millions more new owners.... has my money. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing my shiny new x1 alot more than I've played my ps4. The controller is better, always has been. Feels good to be back to greener pasturez. Lol

Yes it is...when someone says doubled they don't mean EXACTLY double. Or do you think both XB1 and PS4 increased by exactly 100% WOW?

VGChartz are estimates, not actual numbers.

I agree with Seece on this one. If it didn't win last week they wouldn't have said "again". Besides, both this week and last week are basically a tie. Difference is very small.

That's too far out for them to use that.

You're really reaching here.

Your profile says you are 24...

And are you saying it is impossible this is a turnaround?  In all your time selling (over a decade) you never saw a turn around?

I'm not sayin it is or it isnt a turnaround but I am saying a 4 or 5 week switch is significant, because it is.


I dont find it smart to hand out personal info everywhere, companys are to adept at tracking it all down and using it when they need to agianst personal.  Then the hacking and theft and all that fun stuff id rather avoid.  

Significant would be it matching sales at a matching price, massive temporary cuts and bundles mean little if you mere match the sales of your competition that in all honesty is doing almost nothing at all to stop you.  All the exclusives all the marketing all the bundles the price cuts.  

Yes in no way is this a turnaround, its a fire sale MS can afford to let last a month or two.   It really is only significant to their pride their pr and peopel who really really want the X1 to beat the PS4.

Putting aside this weeks win.... how would losing last week but winning the previous 3 weeks be continued momentum?

Because momentum is not about being first. Hell, I'm sure most XBox fans would agree here. Otherwise you couldn't say XB1 has had continued momentum this holiday globally because PS4 has always been ahead. Just doesn't make sense.
