Quick question. How is the Xbox one x scorpio above the PS4 pro for the year, but the Base Xbox one x is not in the top 100? Yet for the month of Nov the base Xbox one x is above the Scorpio. Just not quite sure why it is the way it is.

I've questioned this myself. Seems as though they combine the 2 in the yearly charts..

I don't think they do though. While the Scorpio was sold out it fell on the yearly charts a couple times. During this the standard x was still selling around 20ish. So how could Scorpio edition fall spots in the 50's(yearly) while the standard x was still selling very well.  Simple answer is they are not combined. 

 

Just look at the yearly now Scorpio shouldn't be able to fall spots while the x is selling in the 40's during November. If they are added together Scorpio sku should be climbing spots.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

600k over switch? Nah

all you have is go to https://www.istocknow.com/live/#device.0=switch&brands=7%2C18%2C27%2C24%2C26%2C20%2C22%2C11%2C23%2C2%2C16&lowzoom=0&position=37.09024%2C%20-95.71289100000001&zoom=4 

so much stock every where. I doubt nintendo shipped that much units. funny enough it seems like people like to buy the neon units way more.

A few things

1. Why doesnt this site track PS4?

2. The site itself says stores may be sold out even if they show it has stock

3. What makes you assume Nintendo had small shipments?

If going by monthly it should already be passed the Scorpio for the year. Which means it should be on the yearly right now.

Not necessarily. #21 on September and #36 on November for Scorpio could be more sales than #63 on October and #25 on November for Standard.  Considering Scorpio made top 50 on Yearly from that September #21 alone means that the September #21 was alot of sales for Scorpi

 So preorders are only counted for the month their made not when the console is released?

There were alot of preorders for Scorpio in September. So many that MS sold through their entire initial allotment of Scorpio's in about 24 hours. Scorpio actually passed PS4 Pro's January-September sales in that 24 hour period. 

Technically, it outsold the Jan-Aug sales, since that was in Aug.  It's also not a completely fair comparison, since the Pro was in and out of stock for the first few months.  In fact, I think it was out of stock most of the time on Amazon.

Just noticed that the Xbox version of PUBG is sold out on Amazon. Hope the game does really well on Xbox.

Oh, I have a feeling that is going to be quite big. You getting a copy?

This is going to be huge. This is the type of game to do 50% sales digitally. That's if it was an actual disc for the physical edition, this is just a code in a box.  All my mp buddies are buying this. I think 1-2 million copies in December alone world wide.

 

  It's the type of game that will help the X edition too. It isn't just going to be higher res. It's going to get the equivalent to pubg pc low settings(X1s) and somewhere between high and ultra(xb1x). The difference between the 2 is huge.

I know this wasn't directed towards me, but...

1.  Fanboys against PS confirmed?

3.  While I'm sure Nintendo had great shipments, they just started to get their stock issues in order.  I doubt they are at the point where they can start ramping up production like Sony and MS can.

because ps4 no longer has stock issues for the past 3 years

yea they are generally very reliable

because japan still has shortages .

I had not considered that...

 

Now I'm back to also being confused as to why the standard X isn't in the top 100. You're so helpful!

I haven't tried fortnite... I have plenty of other games to play until I get my hands on pubg.

Nice. It's good to see people waiting to jump in on this game. It's been massive the last year or so.
