This "always" still refers to the last three years which you mentioned in your previous post?

It's a well known fact that the PS4 has always sold more regardless of it being more expensive. Of course it wasn't at the beginning because of Kinect. I can't even believe I'm having to address this to be honest.

maybe because you used the totally wrong word?

mostly is the word you looking for. not always



Let's be serius, if XBO at 100$ cheaper than PS4 can beat it by only 10k, there are almost 0 chance it can surpass it, expecially when in some months PS4 outsold it by >100k and was $50 more expensive...

XBO will win another 2 or 3 NPD this year, but that's all.

Yes, you're right. I was referring to the XB1 without the Kinect but didn't make it clear. But it still stands that price isn't the factor here. The reason the XB1 is winning at the moment is because of ridiculously good bundles to clear old stock and the new 'Slim'. It really isn't a good idea to project the possible future of sales based on only one console manufacturer's move. Let's wait until Sony actually do something first.

A certain group of people will have to go into overdrive to do some downplay PS4 news next month. It's going to be a fun month.

OT - I'm surprised the 500GB isn't higher. I expected that to be up into the top 20 a few days ago and into the top 10 now, a few days before launch. I'll put it down to people don't feel the need to preorder and will buy launch day. If it's not in top 10 by the end of next week, I don't know what to think. Supermarket pick up?
The 2GB did pretty well though but I expected the 500GB to do better at $300 with Halo.

500GB about to pass 2TB model. The PS4 doesn't seem to be doing as well though. I haven't seen it at such a low ranking in quite awhile. Happy too see two XB1 consoles in the top 40, though the Madden bundle still seems to be struggling the most.



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).

The advertising and focus at the moment is on the XB1s and the media are talking about the XB1s. MS are also clearing stock of the older XB1s. Next month the media will be talking about either the PS4 Slim, possibly the Neo and PSVR. Sony may opt to just keep the PS4 as is and drop the price OR they may call the Neo the slim in preparation for another console to match the Scorpio next year. I'm inclined to think calling the Neo a slim is not a bad move.

It would be more accepted by the consumer if they do that.

Do you need to try incite drama into every thread you post in or are you still trying to deal with NMS's less than stellar launch?

OT, Not sure jow the % of sales is split between amazon and retail in US compared to UK but will be interesting to see the numbers.

Deus Ex will launch in 2 days. How well the last one sold at launch ?
