Yowza. Press F to pay respects.

Any victory is a good victory.

So it basically sold ''only'' 2.3m on all platforms in 4 weeks?!?
Ouch. Serves them right though.
That also means that Pokemon Sun/Moon (2 weeks) > COD:IW (4 weeks)
Incredible achievement for Pokemon, even after 20 years!!
Do these BF1 numbers (1.29m) include digital?
Edit: Ops, sorry wrong thread.

The gap might be the number of units that PS4 pro sold... For example, Xbox one might have outsold PS4 if you exclude the newly PS4 pro, or PS4 without pro might have barely outsold xb1! |
This is what I was getting at in my second point. If PS4 and XB1S were close, then even if Pro gave PS the 300k + lead or whatever it ends up being, it would look very concerning for PS and would prove MS has gained ground and may sit at parity with PS4 sales going forward. PS would rather keep that information behind closed doors if true.
PS may however also be working out how they want to show the numbers, broke up or all together, or potentially they are so comfortable they just dont care and dont see the need to kick MS while their down any longer.
The fact that PS4 is staying at $249 says to me that XB1 is putting up a good enough fight in NA that PS doesn't want to take any chances and is just going to keep their foot on MS's chest to make sure they stay down.

That's why I can't tell that anyone who considers a possible 300k gap not big, that is wrong! If that was without the PS4 pro launch, then 300k is surely a big discrepancy!
To be honest, for me an impressive gap would be 500k+ under these circumstances...
1m-1.3m vs 1.5m-1.8m!

If the rationale of this is that PS4 had an upgraded hardware revision release, then they might be somewhat right. |
So you sre really saying that PS4 managing to in ome month outselling the XB1 by around 300k is nothing when it took the XB1 4 months to build a gap of around 260k?
And while talking about hardware revisions... look at this, amongst the months the XB1 won one of those saw it have its own hardware revision release along with a price drop. Had its biggest games of the year released during the ssme 4 month window. Basically, the equivalent of throwing eveeything at the end of the year. And in one month PS4 made all that just go away? And to you that's nothing?
This is becoming embarrassing.

Call of Duty will probably still come out on top this month because of digital sales. CoD is the kind of title that has a 30% digital ratio so it's more than likely north of 3.5m with those. But it is fair to assume that Pokémon would have come on top had it had 4 weeks too.
What the hell kinda NPD result is this? Give us some numbers if they know that PS4 is #1, therefore that means they have the numbers.
