The X1 had a lot of bundled games.

These Holidays proved price is one of the biggest factors in the US and that XBOX is more popular than playstation (in the US). I have no reservation that it won't, these last 2 months almost completely wiped away 10 straight months of ps4 omination. |
Took them a hell of a lot of work to wipe away 10 straight moves of PS4 domination in ... wait for it... 1 country only...
Got to give them credit for having the balls to drop the price and offer so much value (which is very good for the consumer), but to say it probably made them wince to get their would probably be an understatement. So yeah, it's good they were able to do that in the USA, but let's not go over board...lol.
Making an indie game : Dead of Day!
So it looks like current gen could be spot on altogether. Not that surprising after Sony's announcement. Only a 1-200k difference between PS4 and X1 this month
| SJReiter said: Lol why would they raise the price of the Xbone only to drop it back like a week later? huh? |
Because they originally announced the drop to $349 was limited time only. This is pretty common. I also suspect that they waited until the AC Bundles were basically sold out.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

If so then December was not XB1 hardware domination. |
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DX
so if the difference is around 100k, then MS number looks less significant that what every one think.
On the software side, NPD doesnt count bundles, and the biggest two games for PS4 this year were bundled. (GTA5 and Destiny).

XBO and PS4 numbers are really close. I expected a bigger gap.
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

While $50 cheaper, with 2 games, during a Holiday period. I don't think anyone would be surprised if PS4 wins the coming NPDs, even with XB1 dropping to $350 again (sales probably dropped like a rock at $400 beyond even Microsoft's expectation). Also, it seems like you are completely ignoring the fact that PS4 has big exclusive games releasing in 2015 with already The Order and Bloodborne in the coming months. Also, you seem to be completely ignoring the fact that Sony could also drop the price to $350 in the future. Also, the gap is still ~600k, the same amount Microsoft wiped away in Nov en Dec. Also, you didn't answer the question. I shall demand a Knack avatar if PS4 is still leading by January 1st in the US. |
Neither Bloodborne or The Order are system sellers, they are games many with the current system will buy.

Those bundles are counted thogh aren't they? I thought only official bundles (like the FC4 and Destiny white) weren't counted in software. |
Nah, hardware bundles are not counted. Isn't GTAV an official one anyway? The NBA2K14 one is as well.
