Forums - Sales - Is It Safe To Assume That Black Friday's Sales Weren't As Good As Expected?

little shocked by this if anything it means MS didnt win BF or Nov as far as i can remember some solid info was released about sales in the years past

since MS couldnt announce nothing since the gen started cause of losing every month i would think theyd jump on every opportunity

dont think the sales are bad for either 2 that its not news worthy fully expect both to have low to mid 1M NPDs

Yea, that's my thinking.  I know some are saying that they may be waiting for the Game Awards on Friday, which could be true, but why would they?  Even if they announce the good news, now, they could still reiterate those stats at the award show.  I just don't really see anything holding them back, unless they really did lose BF.

We might defiantly hear something from Sony on Saturday PSX , I hope. as for the other two we might hear something by, or on NPD is my guess.



Well, the VGA's are over and there was no announcement from MS. Actually, I don't remember them even being there, unless I just missed it. So, what do you guys think it means? I still think Sony may say something tomorrow, but I don't think MS would delay announcing BF sales if they won. I don't think they have ever done that.  Especially if it was as good as VGC's estimates it was.

Imo I think a few consoles are overtracked. If not then wow this Black Friday was amazing for quite the expensive consoles. In the past Wii and DS could get 1m on BF, but they were quite cheap. Who knows who won though.

Definitely agree on the overtracking.  I mean if MS did set a record for the best BF week ever for a console's 2nd year, why isn't MS saying anything?  Just doesn't seem like them.  Same thing with PS4 supposedly having the a bigger week than even PS3 at its peak.  Though, I would imagine if Sony was going to say anything, they would do it at PSX.

Who knows. But it's weird to assume the worst when if they did make some sort of PR they'd just be mocked for it. Damned if yyou do and dammed if you dont.

Overestimating negative values and underestimating positive values are both common practice in accounting.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:3

So Sony didn't say anything



Still no annunced. :/



Xbox 1 broke a record held by the Wii and PS4 did over 1.1 Million with some very heavy competition and this is not enough?
