Well, things have definitely taken an interesting turn. We still have December left, so do you guys think the X1 will outsell the PS4 in Nov + Dec more than the PS4 has outsold the X1 from Jan - October?

I think XB1 will win December easily, price matters in the US and there are no more large 3rd party games.

Quite happy the 7k thing turned out wrong. All the closing the gap 7k at a time was smug and annoying.


Very.

And it spread like wildfire 

It was effective though, it put a massive blow to the 400k gap news.

Okay, Imma try my best to downplay MS now.

 

You see, fellow charters, the reason that the figures got so misleading is because MS didn't brag about winning as we expected. This allowed Cbouts to spread his BS, but as you all understand, it's MS's fault that they left that opportunity open for Cboats. MS is evil confirmed.

 

What do you think Xbox fans, did I downplay it enough?

Translation: MS weren't smug enough. Too humble

You're asking the wrong fans, I think it is the other guys that are best at downplaying.

They have to. NPD is more credible so adjustments will come.

BS. 

PS4 is the fastest selling console of all-time, and here on this site, it is not even close.

If they have somewhere else to put the numbers then that's fine. but its overtracked in the US.

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.


Xb1 does not have the early boost advantage for December
But Ps4 also don't have the 399 Black Friday bundle advantage


So imho it could be either way. bigger or smaller gap (percentage wise and as flat number)
Now we know, why Sony is doing the 1 free download game promation. They don't want to lose the wohole sales advantage of one year in just 2 month

No.

Cod did really well on XBO, even without bundle sales it beat the ps4. Also the first month where madden XBO>ps4.

The price helps a lot with the casuals.
