This outcome became obvious as soon MS announced the pricecut prior to that it was already up in the air because of several high profile games coming out on XBOX (HALO:MCC being the main one) that were going to tighten the game.

Sony has to feel fine with this, MS went with the kitchen sink approach and the PS4 still did exceptionally well. Could Sony match the XB1 price? Sure. Do they need to? No.

Last November a PS4 could be had (if you could fine one) for 399 and the XB1 was 499. This year the PS4 is still 399 and only had a black friday promotions (GTA bundle was not a free game, like the Destiny bundle it had a higher entry price than the base model). This year the XB1 can be had for 349.99 and it comes with several games for free, and these promotions were there all month.

target actually had xb1 at 329 with mcc and unity and a 50$ gift card.
So almost 279 if you're using the 50$ to buy other gifts

What if Cboat meant PS4 ~700k and XB1 ~1mil (1000k)?


That's X1 > PS4+Wii U?


Well I'll be damned...



Still no PS4 numbers huh?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

So is Halo MCC overtracked near 100%?

Amiibos - "Sales of amiibo are approximately equal to sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U"

That's very very low if true.  Can't be happy about that.

 about 700k amiibos in 9 days, with 12 amiibos out of the 48 amiibos total released^

The 1.2 million source is from who ?

I know nintendo numbers are official, but the others ?

It's another rumor from Gaf, nothing official from Sony or MS.

The 7-10k was a rumor like the latest posted figures :

''UPDATE: Looks like the reliable leaker on GAF, CBOAT, who has been right on several items in the past, may have provided false or not entirely accurate information. Other leakers known to have NPD information have come forward indicating that the Xbox One really sold 1.2 million units in the US during November and that the PS4 sold around 750k-840k. While these leakers have good track records too all of this is just rumor.''

I know, bad isn't it?

And 10% boost in Wii U in SSB launch month is also not good news.  VGC overtracked everything it seems.
