Neither the Pro and specially PsVR set the world on fire.
For many people a BF XOne for 250 and a bunch of games is a better deal than a bare Pro for 400

The Pro is the #2 best selling console for 2016 on Amazon right now. #52 while the cloesest XB1 console, Gears Ultimate bundle is at #79. Not only will Sony win November NPD, they'll likely increase their US lead more than it was before XB1 started it's NPD win streak. 

Have you guys learned nothing of amazon reliability during the holidays? especially with in game store deals going on everyday?

Comment like this right now makes me chuckle..easy grasshoppers.  Amazon is not too reliable as of late because of all the discounted prices going on.

 



Praise the One.

No numbers at all? Not even a hint?

 

Does that likely mean everything (except 3DS) is down year over year?

Nothing strange here, we already knew numbers would not be out yet. Just wait a week and we'll know all numbers. (expect 3DS, which we should have an estimate from Nintendo but not official numbers)

I understand that, but MS usually note when the system is up yoy, don't they?

Most didn't expect the PSVR to set the world on fire. The thing costs a lot and will take a while to go down to mass market price. However, you can't say anything about the Pro because we're not even a week into its launch. We have assessments from two people who manage Walmart and Best Buy that the Pro had high preorders, significantly higher than XB1S sales. Abdiel also mentioned that his friend who works at Gamestop saw the same thing.

You can argue that post-launch Pro sales may not be high, but I'd rather wait for assessments from people who actually manage in retail.

That's true. Could mean XB1 is under 303k this month, but could also mean nothing.

There are some months were XB1 was up YOY and MS didn't mention that.

What's going on with the NPD leakers on GAF? I want to see some numbers.

Aquamarine (or AstronautClaire) said she will reveal numbers next week, I think.

GAF loose ALL leakers. There is only CosmicQueso, but he don't release numbers, he could maximum tell us something about the trend.

If you want numbers, then follow Claire on Twitter.

You're absolutely right, I guess I'm just used to there being some form of indicator, even with this weird shift in NPD's release schedule.

What happened to Cream Sugar or whatever their name was? Banned? 

Creamsugar isn't banned, but he hasn't leaked any numbers since forever.

The Pro hasn't 'set the world on fire'? Perhaps we should wait more than one day before we start throwing that clique about.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


No numbers? That's boring... :P
