Wow, really surprising. I wonder what it means.
Just theorizing here but we have
~200k ps4 Jan
~330k ps4 Feb
~330k ps4 Mar
~175k ps4 April?

Is there a shortage somewhere? That's almost half of last month. How many consoles were preordered for Batman?

I am more disapointed about the US gaming market than Sony, seems good games like Bloodborne arent enough to win them over and neither does some good American Baseball with MLB? What had xbox in the same time period?
Nothing really.
Seems americans buy xbox because its simple american, the sales numbers say. Nothing to gratulate for MS here.

Why i left PC gaming

I'm not living in the past currently though. I'm talking about there here and now. I'm more than sure the same thing happene to ps3 fans back last generation. But I'm not talking about that generation, I'm talking here and now and what is being done. If Wii U was ahead right now, I'm sure Nintendo fans would down play XB1/PS4, if XB1 was ahead right now I'm sure we'd see them do the same thing as PS4 users are doing now too, its a shame either way no matter whos doing it

I just wanted to made it clear that It's not just a Sony fan thing because that's how I took your posts but I apologize if that wasn't your intention.

Oh I know its not just a sony thing as I reiterrated. I was just focusing on the here and now and what was going on is all.

Gratz MS. I aint even mad, they probably only won by a few thousand units.
PS4 either had a shortage, people are waiting for Batman bundle, or BloodBorne was crazy front loaded.
Who knows....

Why is it that whenever Xbox One wins something there are always people trying to downplay it.

"Yeah, Xbox One won but obviously it was only by a little bit and OBVIOUSLY because the PS4 had a shortage or something".

Or the reason could be that the Xbox One is a good console in its own right, but no that reason must not be good enough apparently.

Yea, cause XBO fans don't try to downplay the PS4's win this gen? Oh, wait. They do. "It's just all the launch hype. The price. Being available in more countries." The fact is all sides do it. Best to just accept it.

True. I just find it funny that everytime xbox one break ps4 winning streak means that the tides are turning. I mean, it's okay to celebrate, there is nothing wrong with that but still, ps4 has won most of the months and unless xbox one shows that it can win consecutively, saying that the tides are turning is just premature.

They should at least wait for a month where the XBO wins by more than a few Ks. If the XBO starts outselling the PS4 by 50K+ from here on out, then yea, the tides are turning. Not when the gap is so small that the PS4 is going to make up for it tenfold two months later. Just my thoughts, anyway.
