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


X1 is doing a free game promotion too. 



yes, but still the same promo like november
the ps4 promo is new

 

thats what i meant

Well there's no chance for ps4 to win December since there is not a good bundle at all, just the boring destiny bundle or regular SKU. By the end of the year, I still expect ps4 to have a 500k gap.

Looks like VGC's tracking for the Xbox One and PS4 was great this month!

One of the hardest months to track and its at around a 20% margin of error!

so lbp3 first month on ps4 less than sunset overdrive first month on xb1
this put the sales of sunset, bayo, forza horizon 2 and other games into perspective

not every ~100k seller is bomba

You know, I could be wrong, but I don't think Cboat should have been banned. I know he said 7-10K difference, but I believe someone's previous reasoning that maybe he he was referring to 710K LTD difference. I mean, Cboat has never just come out and said something, as far as I remember, anyway. He always seemed to have a funny way of writing things, basically so he wouldn't get caught. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong and he was just fucking with us.

Well either way, CBoat created 40+ pages of mayhem on GAF. If he did mean to say 710K LTD gap, then he should've clarified from the start.

Wait so Xbox One actually did a good amount better than the PS4? Well then, good news for MS, because if they had only beat PS4 by 10k with all the price drops and free games then it would've been truly sad.

As you've made clear.
