No. For example the PS4 could be 330k with the XB1 being 340k. That way we have XB1 > PS4, PS4 down YoY and XB1 up YoY.

Still a bit confusing.I dont understand why the NPD just dosent give us a straight number.

But thanks.To you too Ryng.

Because their public pay  dozens and dozens of thousands of money to have the numbers, NPD doesn't want to give it for free.

It's not the first time.

 

And it's mostly people looking the charts the wrong way. The higher they are in the charts the best . At mid twents they are close to call. Anything out of the top 50 is basicaly noise. 

Also the inner works of the rank is a mistery. A sold out product could rank high for hours, after just a short boost.

Well done on actually listening to what people have been saying in the Amazon thread for years. You forgot pre-orders by the way. And you also have to take into consideration the software that's pushing the consoles down the charts. Sometimes it's not as simple as it looks.



 

The PS5 Exists.

With Gears, Halo, Forza, 4k blu ray and more. It is worth getting the xbox one imo.

It has been worth getting an XB1 for a while now. Even though I just got mine this past Friday I feel it has been worth getting one. Gears is what sold me though....it was my favorite game on XB360 so when it released I hoped on board....and bought KI, Ryse, SO, QB and FH3 along with it!

I think the issue was the word dominate.

When you squeeze out slim victories (7-10k a few months in a row) it doesnt really shout domination.

Most of that probably due to MS haveing better sales price's than their competitors.

It just means MS was willing to sell their product for less, and the market seems to like low prices.

My definition of domination is probably different to you guys sooooo its fine!

Anyone kept count on how many times X1 won this year? I know they won 3 in a row. Not sure about the other months.

They also won July. This will be the fourth month running.

 

Edit: It's past midnight here. Judging by the post I just made... Sleep is needed. Haha!

 

 

Oh nice! Thankyou! 

 

Soooo thats like 4/12 this year or 1/3! I would say that is very nice!
