A moment.
"Microsoft’s estimated 12 million Xbox Ones."
VGChartz say XBO at 12.1 million by end of March... overtracked?

I know this is just an estimate but I was expecting more sales for xbox one than just 12m. I though it was at 12.5m. The sales of xbox one is definitely lacking in Europe.

It was already said but.. The same link says 20M for ps4.

So the XB1 won this month? I surely wasn`t expecting that.

Was a matter of time since there isn't anything major coming to the 360.

Was there anything that pushed XB1 over the PS4? I don`t recall either side getting anything major...

Witcher marketing deal. Windows 10 news (the articles keep mentioning Xbox One). Better deals. PS4 has a double wammy happening. Sales were front loaded the previous month(s) due to all the games released, some sales are stalled until next month because people are waiting for the Batman bundle.

Microsoft should still be congradulated though. This gives hope for a competitive market in the US if Sony doesn't go for the $100 price cut.

Thanks for the clarifications on the Witcher info. Perhaps that gave it the edge. I would find it funny if one of the reasons the PS4 sold less was because they are waiting for the Batman bundle. I didn`t think something positive would harm earlier sales at least for the month of April, haha...

Dance my pretties!

Well Sony announced 20.2 as of march 1 so I'm assuming the numbers are for March 1. Still we need a confirmed date.
