Not bad!

I predicted 50,000.

New 3DS have around 500,000/600,000 unit sold in US, so, seem good IMO.

My post from GAF

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.


Of course all sides do it. But it's more abundant with Sony fans this generation because of how the PS4 is selling. It would be the same thing for Xbox fans or Nitnendo fans if their console was selling the best. It still doesn't change the fact the amount of downplay that arrives whenever the Xbox One wins something. I do believe there genuinely are people out there that refuse to accept the Xbox One will ever legitimately win anything, even if there is proof.

Just reading the first comment I responded to was a perfect example of downplay. It's the same reason why I as a Sony fan tend not to associate myself with other Sony fans this generation, because I do not like the way some of them are acting, but I do understand that it's like that on all sides anyway.

You are a Sony fan? I always thought you are an Xbox guy with a Sackboy avatar.


I feel like I sometimes come off as an Xbox fanboy on this site considering how much I defend it.

I'm clearly late to the party, but congrats to the XB1. One thing to point out is that Gamestop had a huge deal where you get a $125 discount if you trade in your 360 or PS3 and I think that deal basically pushed the XB1 over the PS4. The XB1 was also offered with a free $25 gift card on Target and it didn't help that the PS4 had stock issues in Amazon. The Batman bundle is coming in June, so some sales might have been moved to June similar to how XB1 sales were moved to June last year when MS decded to unbundle the Kinect.

Maybe some see the big picture, what does a win by 10k mean when a month or two later they will lose by 200k ?  What does a holidays win mean when you lose the whole year over all.

Its kin to nba fans celebrating their team winning the first quoter yet getting blow own by the end 120 to 70 .
