Yeah, seems that way to me too. I think it's tracking behind both Origins and DA 2. I feel like EA released it at the wrong time, there were too many other big games releasing in November.

It was also poorly advertised.

Yeah, MS dropped the ball on that one, they got the marketing rights to DA:I and then they barely used them, I saw very few ads for Dragon Age. Personally I would have focused on Dragon Age a bit more, MS should have had a Dragon Age bundle imo, only having the AC Unity bundle for most of November/December was a mistake imo, XB1 would have done even better this month if there had been a better bundle variety.  

MS sucks at advertising now. I watch a lot of tv and I barely see any xbox related ads.


I see tons. Seen that Rocky Balboa "That's How Winning Is Done" XBox spot like 8-10 times this week, and all the Call of Duty ads are XBox One branded. Guess you don't watch a lot of sports? 

No, that is the problem, maybe they should stop only advertising to people who watch sports.

Oh man. What a huge troll it was to throw out a 7-10K difference when it's 400K! So VGC was overtracked by 200K for both PS4 and Xb one. But the margin remains the same. Not bad all things considered.

Hard to know how this affects December in the USA. I suspect it should be a bit closer, but still likely a XB one win by a few hundred K.

So that blue pie is LTD, thanks jlmurph2

What it represents in numbers?

PS4 6M
XBO 5,3M
Wii U 3,2M

Something like this?

Looks right after calculating the percentages.

Good job to the X1 for cutting the gap by 400K. 700K is still a long way to go, but it's a huge improvement nontheless.

Why isn't MS celebrating that figure more? That is incredible!!!

They are humbled...  

OT: Seems odd that they legit haven't.

If microsoft didnt win with 2 free games and a $70 pricecut, it would have been hella embarrassing.

They gotta announce for 2015, cause its looking like a sausage fest (if that sausage had a PS logo on it)

Here we go with the spin, MSFT had 1 NPD victory in 12 months, accept it.

The reality is though in America that's a huge part of the TV audience, especially the live TV audience.
