If the "leaked" hardware numbers for the 3 systems really are what Neogaf is saying then I'd call that pretty damn good. A 100k difference in December? That's a lot smaller than I expected.

Wow, Xb1 software beat PS4 software except FC4!

And GTAV (bundles not counted), possibly NBA2k14 (was in the pick 1 out of 4 bundle)

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.

The boxed bundle was official, but that pretty much all sold through in November did it not? Yeah, perhaps even though not a boxed bundle Sony actually did make the By PS4 and get your pick of 2 of 4 games an official thing, so perhaps NPD didn't count those as software sales even though that isn't a bundle in the usual sense.

If those are right, wow, I was almost spot on with predictions (1.25 for X1 and 1.05 for PS4). Undershot Wii U by 110k though.

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.

Bloodborne is selling the system to me. Lol

Yeah I think there will be quite a few console sales for that game, it's just one of those games that some people just wont get, but it will sell consoles.

In fact it's silly for anyone to say that AAA exclusive games dont shift consoles, they all do... its just difficult to quantify the actual numbers.... I see BB pushing a good number, and I feel even with the bad press that The Order will still have the effect of a strong HW sales push.

Sony: PS4 was the top-selling console of 2014 worldwide

Sony may have lost the console sales race to Microsoft’s Xbox One in November and December, but it won the year as a whole.

Sony confirmed that the PlayStation 4 was the best-selling gaming console worldwide in 2014, and it is continuing on a sales pace that is faster than any previous PlayStation system ever. Globally, the console-gaming market generates around $50 billion in spending, which is why it is so important to both Sony and Microsoft.

“PlayStation 4 was the top-selling console in the U.S. and globally in 2014,” a Sony Computer Entertainment America spokesperson told GamesBeat. “And [it is] the fastest selling console in PlayStation history with 18.5 million sold through after just 14 months in the market. We are humbled by this success and want to thank gamers worldwide for helping us achieve holiday sales of more than 4.1 million across 123 countries and regions. We are looking forward to another momentous year in 2015 and bringing an epic line up of titles to PlayStation fans around the world.”

The biggest month ever for wiiU was 481k. So wiiU would be at roughly ~580k.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

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.

Your reasoning is very very flawed.

So in one sentence you admit that price is a very big factor then in the same sentence say the cheaper console is more popular?

Which ever console sells more when both are at the same price point, is the preferred console. I wonder what you will say when/if even bring cheaper through the year the PS4 is still out selling the XB1 in the US. that oughta be interesting. 

I said XBOX which includes 360, 1 and 2 were XBOX, 3 and 4 were playstation.

1 and 2 what? I'm pretty sure PS4 outsold 360.
