Here is their about us.

"Our journey started on Twitter in the summer of 2013, not long after the Xbox One reveal. Following a conversation between Xbox fans with similar ideas, we decided that the mainstream media lacked the knowledge or inclination to properly represent Microsoft's vision for a unified Xbox and Windows platform. "

Or you can just go with the bottom part "We are the superfans of the resurgent Microsoft ecosystem."

Holy Fuck it's the Xbox version of Breitbart! Hahaha

 

More like Xbox version of CNN/MSNBC.

Best Black Friday week in the history of PlayStation? I guess we can safely assume PS4 won the NPD on top of this news.

I'd say so.  And considering MS hasn't said a anything about BF in the US, I'd assume that means the PS4 won BF there, too.  I hope it also means that next year we won't get constant threads from Infoscout and whoever the other site was, because they are NOT reliable.  Nov is not going to be as close as some thought.  I think Sony is going to wipe out any gains MS made these last few months in a matter of weeks.

@ OP

Nice.  And I just have to laugh at these people who think the PS4 is not going to hit 100M.  Really?  Since the PS1, there hasn't been a single market leader who hasn't crossed 100M.  Even though the Wii dropped off significantly and had to crawl its way there, it still passed 100M.  The PS4 is going to have MUCH better legs than the Wii.  We haven't even gotten to a $199 price tag, which will happen next year.  Either as a permenant drop, or just for the holidays.  Either way, it's going to boost sales incredibly.  And then on top of that, we're going to have the PS4 Pro at $349, with maybe a $299 BF bundle, which will be a huge boost.  And PS VR will be ~$299, as well, which will help a little. 

Take that AND all the great games coming out next year, and I'm sure that 2017 is looking to be the PS4's peak year.  That means that if the PS4 ships 55M+ by the end of this year, and it will, by the end of next year it will most likely be at 75M+.  With the PS5 most likely hitting in 2019, the PS4 has plenty of time to sell that remaining 25M to hit 100M.  Hell, I think it's going to end up ~125M when all is said and done, helped in its final years with a $149 price tag.

All of those media outlets are crap, honestly.

OT: Really good numbers for the PS4. Should be able to finish 2016 slightly up YOY.

They did, but it was only "XBO sales and Live engagement were 'strong' ". That was it.

EA Predicted last month that by the end of 2016 PS4+XBO sales would reach 80 million units.

So if we assume EA are somewhat accurate we're probably looking at 55 Million PS4's and 25 Million XBO's. Give or take a million each. Assuming VGC is accurate for XBO, 25 million is far too low though. So EA have likely underestimated.

Wouldnt be surprised if it ended up like ;

PS4 : 54m 

XB1 : 26m

By the end of 2016.

Xbox is soon to be, if not already, doubled by the PS4.

XB1 sold i 4.4ml  during Nov and Cec last year. So you're assuming if VGC XB1 will sell 2.2m? AT least it will be 28ml, and it could possibly hit 29 or 30m if the Slin gives it a big enough boost. I think PS4 will be 55 or 56m which is really good.

Oh, that's right.  If I remember correctly, that was a much weaker statement than they gave last year.

It's night and day.

BF 2015: XBO sales were up 22% over BF 2014. Bunch of Live records were broken

BF 2014: Major Nelson was clearly very happy with the XBO's performance and proudly posted pictures of XBOs going off the shelves on his Twitter. In general, Microsoft was happy with the console's performance all November long.

Yet Sony didn't say they were the best selling console on BF. Don't you think they would point that out if true?



Isn't this the 3rd upgrade of the console?

so we think it is going to do 50 mil from now in 3 years?



Switch!!!
