Sony is the market leader. They have momentum. Winning shouldn't be a surprise.

Especially in the modern market, if I buy a console I want the same console as my other friends have, and if more of them have a PS4, I'm going to get the PS4 so we can play online together.

It doesn't matter what deals Microsoft puts up really to that extent. I'm not going to get an XBox One just to save maybe $50 and not be able to play with my friends online for the next 5 years. $50 doesn't even buy you a new game these days, it's a cheap dinner and a movie with the girlfriend, big whoop.

This about sums it up, In this ever increasing online gaming enviroment you and your friends all need the same console. In earlier gen's in never really mattered and was actually great to get different to what your friends had and bounce between each others houses to play everything.

NPD actually seems lower all round than I thought was expecting 220k+ both Xbox One and PS4.

Again it is great to see PS4 won! But why the heck do we only have Splatoon and Xbox One numbers? o.O

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

My numbers were a bit off but the gap I predicted was close. Glad to see competition ramping up as we get toward the holiday season.

They'd only mention Vita if it outsold 3DS or was up YOY. Otherwise they wont mention it in PR.

It was up YoY in January and February iirc, but they didn't say anything about it.

Well I'll rephrase, that's when they're most likely to mention it.

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'
