Y2kev playing games again. No damn way XB1 won December.

We'll see. XB1 win would be one for the ages. Basically the three big not entirely impossible outcomes are:

  • PS4 > 2m
  • PS4 - XB1 > 400k or maybe .5m
  • XB1 > PS4

Though arguably 

  • | XB1 - PS4 | < 100k

would be reasonbly big too.

Megaton of the century is Wii U winning.

1.25 in ROW? Its not possible because 60-70% Xbone userbase in US, so you cant expect more from that 30% user base. I expect WW it will do 1.2 - 1.5 (If bundled then it can reach up to 2 million).  Also Win 10 version next year.

It's way to optimistic. Jason tends to be too optimistic with most of his Xbox predictions. I think he wants to be that guy who gets it right once after lots of attempts, self proclaim prediction God, create JasonChartz and try to put ioi out of business. 

Would be just like the panda that made several impossible predictions and got one right and called himself the best prediktor on vgc

Man, that 20% off game orders is really shaking the charts up. I know it'll definitely make me pre-order more games from Amazon, than i have in the past.

Exactly, but most of the time we can't be bothered to wade through hundreds of comments and call them out on their bad predictions but they'll be happy to repeat the one time they'll get it right for what will fell like an eternity.

Sometimes there's just no logic to what they predict. The latest jason prediction let's take a look.

What will XB1 number be by the end of 2016? 11M ROW 16M USA maybe?

So according to jason, QB will have over 10% attach rate in ROW, 6% in USA. Alan wake had similar attach rates in ROW to US and that's before we consider the real high attach rate for the US let alone the 10%+ attach rate the given to ROW. Even if MS did bundle this aggressively, 2.25M is a big ask. It's just one of those predictions that defy any logic but freak situations do happen (Splatoon) and this is what jason is hoping for.

Then when he more than likely does get it wrong, the argument about digital sales will go for months.

New releases for $47.99, Anyone who is grabbing then might as well pre - order now and since Amazon don't take payment until a few days before theres nothign to loose :) So just pre-order everything you fancy and if it changes closer to the time cancel, That is unless this promotion is taking payment upfront and I don't know about it.

I think I preordered half of the 2016 PS4 lineup. I mean I just ordered everything I wanted. Even the new Rachet and Clank was like $30 so why the hell not. I'm gonna have games showing up all year lol. I cancelled SF5 and re ordered it at the lower price. Gravity Rush is only $23! I'm getting that too! I'm still buying shit right now.

I think I got an entire year of game purchases out of the way today. Its massive folks! Get the hell in there and strart preordering. If you already have something preordered, cancel it and re-preorder at the lower price!

STAR OCEAN 5 is $47.99!!!!

I see Nintedo fans have zeroed in on Legend of Zelda!

Even Quantum Break broke into the top 30!

Its go time people!
