"Thanks to everyone who helped make #XboxOne the #1 selling console in July according to #NPD, nice to be back on top!"

No.1??? What about 3DS, Greenberg???

3DS is a handheld. 

 

Hi Aqua, did you get my PM?

Greenberg is getting crafty with the PR. "Console" and "Handhelds" are two different things according to Greenberg.

Microsoft PR is on a whole another level.

Launching Neo and PSVR against a slimmer Xbox One is going to lead to PS4 selling less? That's weird

PS4 vs XOs, yes. Xbox will win.

PS4 + Neo vs XOs, no. Neo will have explosive sales in lat Octuber and/or November. We have to factor prices and demand to figure out the rest of the year.

PS4 is PS4 + Neo. Not sure why there would be a distinction.

When did MS or Sony ever include handhelds when talking about home consoles?



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

It's a gaming platform first and foremost.

Than add "home" to it. Its not 1st place unless you spin it

 

Edit: TBF its not a big deal, but it does seem silly at least to me

If its as 4x more cable machine at less than twice the price is unfair to both PS4 and XOne, it will destroy both in sales.

If its a premium $600+ machine it will trail behind XOne and PS4, the effect on PS4 sales I can not factor.
