You can always tell when Playstation is winning a generation. That US basket brimeth over with well selected eggs.

Yup, its bad for sony beacsue they are not winning well enough. In one territory. 

Sony's saving grave is that they are selking well in two other major territories. They can't even maintain a lead of over 1M in NA over the XB1. Surely, this is very bad for sony. Just wait, MS has gained momentum now, in two or three years of momentum building sales like these and winning by around 50-100k/month, they will catch up and maybe even pass the PS4 in NA.

Sony has really dropped the ball.

That would be stupid, they can just release those games on PC. At least they will still be console exclusive.

PS4 down 24-30%
(1.045-1.144 this yr vs 1.5 last yr)

XB1 down 20-27%
(0.945-1.044 this yr vs 1.3 last yr)

*(1.0/1.1 rumour)

Wow! Soooo the rumor was quite true! 

Its sad that the Slim + VR + Pro could only do this much. I guess its all about the games (which it have always been) 



Pocky Lover Boy!

I have no idea if the rumour is true. I just worked out the % based on the rumour. People seem to be giving it more credit, I don't know.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

But Sony has dropped the ball. With both the Slim and the Pro. They could've easily outsold MS in the NA with a much better margin than they are doing now if they hadn't screwed up with the Slim and the Pro. That certainly qualifies as dropping the ball. Even if it's not a disaster.

Well ps4 has Europe and the rest of the world to compensate for that.  I am more worried about xb1 though since US is his biggest territory.

If rumors are true then terrible month for both
