Zhuge's apparently replied to someone on twitter that his predictions were off, which is what these numbers are based on.

Just wait guys.

What are any of those two ranges based on?

Nothing lol let's wait.



I'm actually surprised how the XB1 was able to hold withing 250k, especially with Star Wars and COD.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Sony's PR:

“As we reflect on an amazing year, we want to thank fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top selling console in December and in 2015. PS4 also had the strongest third-party software sales in 2015 in the U.S., according to NPD.

The momentum and enthusiasm for the platform continued throughout the year, resulting in cumulative sales of more than 35.9 million since the launch of PS4. During the holiday season alone, more than 5.7 million PS4s and 35 million PS4 games were sold through to consumers worldwide. We look forward to another great year and bringing an extensive portfolio of games from our publisher partners and SCE Worldwide Studios to fans in 2016.”

November was 54%:46% head to head between PS4 and Xb one. I expect something similar for Dec, so of the 2.85-3.15M combined range is right then PS4 is 1.54M - 1.7M and Xb one is 1.3M - 1.45M

Both Super Mario Maker and Splatoon have both sold more than 1million units in the US.



Are we always going to see a pattern of VGC not publishing the hardware numbers for the final NPD week until after NPD comes out so that adjustments can be made before VGC has official numbers for the whole month?

Shouldn't Splatoon be way over 1m with digital sales?
