Xbox taking back that throne baby!

Folks, you need to stop this. The only reason the XB1 won last month is because of pre-orders, and the only reason they won the month before (by 10k) is because they were selling the old stock off at $50 - $100 off with 2/3/4 games and a $50 gift voucher. Nobody is saying that they can't turn it around (in the US) but right now there's nothing at all to suggest Sony isn't still in the driving seat. It just makes you look silly in the long run. This isn't downplaying anything before anyone says anything, this is just common sense.

Give it time and see. Who knows what will happen in the coming months. Perhaps MS will eventually be able to turn things around but right now it's back to normal with the PS4 outselling the XB1, and the PS4 will take November for exactly the same reason the XB1 took August.



 

The PS5 Exists.

The info we have so far is fucking awful. From what I've seen not even Cosmic is giving as much hints as he used to.

Gribble, do what I do, stop feeding them. Just some friendly advice :)

It's not a bad idea to occasionally try to convince people to be more balanced even if you know it's not likely to have an affect.

For real. I just view those comments like some one giving themself positive affirmations when their confidence is low.

Sony must be delighted with how low key this NPD has been. I've never seen such a quiet NPD thread on gaf.

The quiet before the PS4 Pro storm surely? :P



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Aye.  it's unfortunate for Microsoft because everyone has stopped caring about these off season NPD results just as they get a 2 month win streak.  Which is rare for them.  

 



Don't see any numbers. Is aqua banned here too?



Yas! Nice win for the XONE again!



Pocky Lover Boy!

I don't think that Vgchartz would do such a thing. Maybe Aqua isn't alowed to share the numbers anymore.
