I would say it isn't very reassuring..

So, Wii U overtracked by 40k, damn.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Ps4 was definitely the underdog. sure by the time the month happened and we'd seen all the domination in the online rankings and reports from people in the industry people change their song and started going with the ps4.

But don't rewrite history and act like people weren't expecting the xbox to lose pre season heavily and make up a lot of the gap come the holiday season.

And I'm not just talking about this site. Gaf among others too.

And those feelings on the Xbox winning the holidays were quite justified based on previous results. Playstation hasn't exactly been known for NPD victories in Nov/Dec... The third party deals Sony got paid off big time for Sony. Good for them.

I never said they weren't justified and I myself would have expected a MS win this Holiday. I'm one of those people who think Sony owns the pre season and Microsoft makes up a good chunk of the gap post pre-season.

That's why it's shocking to see Sony win pre season and then win the season by a big margin.

October plus November? No way can it be that low. Surely not?

So, no changes to the XBO. Is this accurate? I don't follow the numbers as intently as some on this site. I hear time and again the they should be adjusted down.
