Yup, PS4 won http://venturebeat.com/2016/12/08/playstation-4-pro-helps-sonys-console-outsell-xbox-one-in-november-in-the-u-s/
Just posting again because of the other website is kinda an unknown website

Microsoft statement:

“We have seen strong momentum for Xbox One since announcing the new Xbox One S at E3 in June,” Nichols said. “That momentum continued in November as gaming consoles were once again among the most sought-after products to buy over Black Friday weekend. In addition, we saw record engagement among Xbox One owners on Xbox Live as fans enjoyed new games and great deals. In fact, the total players online on Sunday, November 27 was up 40 percent compared to last year.”

MS loves their percentages.....

I have no idea how reliable this website is.

Wait is Microsoft actually claiming that the PS4 done well on Black Friday?

PS4 won...? No way. That can't be. Backwards compatibility and 4K Blu-ray on the Xbox One S is the PS4 killa. No, this cannot be. I refuse to face this bizarro world reality.

:-o

IKR? Star Trek Beyond was released in UHD Bluray. How could this have happened? How?!

Lol

I hope we at least get some indication of how big the gap was, or a percentage up/down for each console.

I would say they are both down

"After four months of the Xbox One outselling Sony’s console, the PlayStation 4 is back on top."

"The PS4 was the best-selling home console in the United States in November, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Sony Interactive Entertainment’s system got a boost from the release of the PlayStation 4 Pro, which is a 4K-capable upgrade that launched November 10. This is the first time since June that the PS4 outsold the Xbox One."

"November is one of the two biggest months of the year for game sales. It kicks off the holiday-shopping season, and it can often represent a significant chunk of a gaming publisher or hardware company’s annual revenues. That was likely once again the case this year, as data from Adobe suggests the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were among the most in-demand products for online shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday."

"In a statement, Xbox marketing boss Mike Nichols confirmed that consumer hunger for consoles."

“We have seen strong momentum for Xbox One since announcing the new Xbox One S at E3 in June,” Nichols said. “That momentum continued in November as gaming consoles were once again among the most sought-after products to buy over Black Friday weekend. In addition, we saw record engagement among Xbox One owners on Xbox Live as fans enjoyed new games and great deals. In fact, the total players online on Sunday, November 27 was up 40 percent compared to last year.”

What a sorry excuse for PR MS done



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9008994

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

In addition, we saw record engagement among Xbox One owners on Xbox Live as fans enjoyed new games and great deals. In fact, the total players online on Sunday, Nov. 27 was up 40 percent compared to last year. If you missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, we are pleased to be extending our $50 off offer on all Xbox One S consoles for a limited time starting Dec. 11 at participating U.S. retailers. And if you’re looking to pair your new Xbox One S with a brand new 4K TV, we’re partnering with many leading retailers, including Best Buy, where you can save $150 and get a free Xbox Wireless Controller when you buy an Xbox One S with select 4K TVs.

I have no idea how reliable this website is.

So I'm assuming Xbox sales were down YoY since they just gave that "engagement" BS.

I don't know why MS say anything when they lose, why not just keep quiet
