That's what happens when you multiquote, specially if it's SWORDF1SH

Don't take it out on me, pray to the VGC gods for a better multiquote system.

 

But if that were to happen, they'd have to add more ads.

Ok so, its pretty clear that the Ps4 will demolish again the X1 this month.

2015 closed with a NPD score of:

Playstation 4 (10) vs Xbox One (2)

Not Bad.

That's how last year ended also.

True. Though last year XB1 had two very big wins in two very big months. So it amounted to hundreds of thousands of units.
This year they won only by 7k one month (it was a poor month for all consoles) and I think it was 13k another month.

Btw, I recall someone with a Levi avatar commenting on how the Star Wars bundle was "dropping fast" three months ago because the Beta was over and "the hype had died down", every time it went down 2 or 3 spots, and dissmissing comments saying the movie coming out would push sales of the bundle. Wonder how he feels about how it's been doing as of late. Pretty good getting #3 for a bundle with no hype.

 

Yeah last year they won the most important months while this year it wasn't really the same case.

Hourly Update (~3 hours since last update)

PS4 COD bundle: #15 (↑1)
PS4 Star Wars bundle: #19 (↑2)
XBO Gears bundle: #31 (↓1)
New 3DS XL: #55 (↓5)
PS4 NDC bundle: #85 (↑8)
XBO 3-game bundles: #94 (↓2)
PS4 standalone: #97 (↑2)

While it's been less than 48 hours since it happened and thus too early to establish a trend, if things keep up January could be a runaway victory for the PS4, the gap being even bigger than it was last January. For the last couple of days at least, at GameStop.com the COD & Star Wars bundles are way ahead of the best-selling XBO bundle. At BestBuy.com it's not as big of a runaway for the PS4; the COD bundle is at #1 while the Gears bundle is #13, the Star Wars bundle is at #21, the Wii U at #31, and the Tomb Raider bundle at #38.

The XBO couldn't manage to be the overall winner of the first three quarters of this year even at $50 below parity. With pricing now back at parity, the XBO doesn't stand a chance. MS better hope that the PS4 doesn't reintroduce the $300 price point permanently anytime soon. It's a price war they can't win, especially if their primary objective is to make money off the XBO instead of trying to get it to be market leader in the U.S.

Yeah I forgot that the Xbox One was cheaper for like 9 months.  Also, it will be interesting to see what the overall gap change is.   The gap grew in 2015.

Actually the gap shrank this year versus last year. Here's how much more the PS4 sold percentage-wise compared to the XBO for the first three quarters of last year and this year, rounded to the nearest 0.1%:

Q1 '14: +30.4%
Q2 '14: +71%
Q3 '14: +59.1%
Overall total: +49.7%

Q1 '15: +31.8%
Q2 '15: +10.9%
Q3 '15: +14.1%
Overall total: +19.1%

I'm pretty sure he is talking about overall, not YOY.  The gap increased this year to back over 1M, while in 2014 MS was able to make a comeback in Q4 and erase a lot of the gap for that year.  I believe it went back to ~600K-700K by the start of 2015.
