X1Gates is a great comedian.
With hat said it I don't think infoscout is reliable so i think ps4 will still have a solid 150-200k win this month.

Also it feels really good to see the Wii u in the top 10

Well now, this is interesting. Last year Infoscout and Amazon agreed, this year they are definitely contradicting one another. Could this be the difference between online and in-store? Obviously infoscout only tells us about Black Friday, and technically Amazon doesn't tell us about Black Friday as they don't have a daily chart. But the weekly is as good as, since if 50% of November sales is BF weekend, 80% of BF week sales muyst be on BF weekend. 

For NPD Amazon is definitely what we should use as the indicator for NPD. But for BF it's really hard to know whether infoscout is more reliable than Amazon.

Amazon gives us 100% of sales from a single source. Infoscout gives us a fraction of sales from multiple sources. Retailer sharts will be a mix of online and in-store sales, right? Individual stores may run out of stock, but the retailer may have sufficient stock in warehouses to continue to sell online. Amazon, so people say, represents 5-6% of the market now. How much of the video game market does infoscout represent? they receive 300K receipts, but how many of those receipts has a video game console purchase?

Lol, X1Gates might be feeding us crow after all

AFAIK the only prior infoscout PR about console sales was PS4 was # product by revenue at Best Buy.  That doesn't come anywhere neart close to saying PS4 was the best selling console nation-wide.

Best clue we have I guess is Greenberg's tweet. The fact he tweeted means Xb one must have done pretty good, the fact he didn't claim a win means either PS4 won narrowly or it's too close to call. If PS4 had won big on BF I don;t think Greenberg would have tweeted anything. You look pretty dumb if you tweet something that suggests a close finish and it ends up your arse got kicked.

Seems it is going to be close. I just hope Sony can scrape past a million. MS need a big result given how much of their sales come from this market

II mean they could technically be saying the greas bundle was the most purchased xbox bundle, which would make both articles viable.

Indeed. On closer inspection there are many possible ways to interpret this. It could be that the Gears bundle is the #1 selling console sku nation-wide. It could also be that the Gears bundle was only the number 1 console sku at Target, and Infoscout has not actually announced a nation-wide winner yet. They announced previously that PS4 was number 1 by revenue at Best Buy. So they could be being retailer specific here too. They could also be saying that the best deal antion-wide was the Target Gears bundle deal, which basically got you a Xb one and Gears of War Ultimate for $239, and they may not be saying anything about which console or bundle sold best anywhere.

So there is too much ambiguity in what INfoscout has said to really come to any firm conclusion. We need more PR.

Holy Moses.

no. not for the bf weekend
all other xb1 bundles were way better compared to the ps4

1. xb1 has ALL! bundles reduced by $50. ps4 only the uncharted one
2. xb1 has way more different bundles compared to ps4
3. xb1 had more stock available

amazon was 6% of total marked back in end 2013 when the next gen consoles released
it's growig, but sill below 10% for sure
