Xbox One S in the top 30! 2TB model still holding very well. I expect both consoles to hold very well against the PS4, though the Madden bundle seems more like the black sheep of the three.



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).

It's going to be interesting to see how the leak of the slim affects the charts. It will be a fight between those who are waiting for a price drop and those that don't like the design of the new slim and will want the older model. Who will win? FIGHT!

I'm going for a 'decline' in PS4 sales, although it's not out of the question the PS4 could see a surge before the slim launches.

I doubt that many know anyway. It still isn't confirmed by Sony, so for now we could all simply be making fools for ourselves.

Sorry. It was late, I was tired, and I completely botched my numbers and thus my math. I think I saw the Wii numbers in your post and it threw me off. It was supposed to be 4250k for the whole quarter, a 25% increase over Q4 2015. Assuming 350k in October, that leaved 3900k for Nov. & Dec. I'd say 1925k and 1975k for the two. Assuming 650k for Q3, then 1584k for the first half plus 650k plus 4250k equals 6484k, or to round it off to the nearest 100k, 6.5 million.

Huum that's seem more likely, yeah.

1.7 million during the holidays months is my guess, but 1.9-1.95 million are definitively possible. Also i think 350k in October are low, assuming will be the release of slim and Neo of course.

Cause most people (inc me) expect about same numbers for XBO in Augus (300-350k), and i think PS4 will easy top this cause first there are not one, but two new hardware, second VR may get another boost, third October is a better month than August, fourth there more important release (Titanfall 2 + Battlefield 4), and well, fiveth PS4 is PS4, if XBO with a new hardware can sells 300-350k, PS4 is easy gonna sells more.

Wow I did not see this coming I figured the XB1s would stay ahead of the PS4 like all month....did not expect a back and forth tug of war like this!

Like I said earlier, the interesting thing to keep an eye on will be whether the PS4 will increase as more and more people get wind of the Slim. Lots of people (on the internet) prefer the look of the older PS4 are may well want to grab it while it's available. Those who can afford a higher price will wait for the Neo.

Xbox one pretty strong at the moment.
