That XB1 PR is confusing me. ''Most software per system'' to me sounds like they mean the following: XB1 software sales divided by XB1 HW sales > PS4 software sales divided by PS4 HW sales

We don't even know if they're talking about hardware. It could be record software sales.

I pretty sure that's exactly what they mean. Which would also confirm a SW win for the PS4.

Did you not say in the Amazon thread you thought xbox would win?

For January? If you can find it, post it. I've been saying the PS4 would win but not by a huge margin.

The PS5 Exists.

If only Microsoft could just not spin their PR 24/7. Especially for people like me from non-English countries it can be hard to understand at times.

I am confused by it as well. I initially read it as "Record software sales per Xbox One sold in the month of January".

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
