PS4 Pro is now outselling XB1X. I guess the hardcore XB guys are done buying it by now?

Sony's stance has changed from pushing the standard model to pushing the Pro so it somewhat makes sense. The X is a nice console and is holding quite well on Amazon but it was never going to appeal to the mass market. If the X is still in the top 100 going into February then it's doing well

But games .

Correct, the PSN cards will be spent on games :p

 

Seriously though, this shows how strong the PSN is. We're moving rapidly into a digital age on consoles and PlayStation is leading the way. 

I load up on PSN cards, getting them cheaper elsewhere. I only use them for PSN game sales, as i usually won't pay more than like $7-$8, for a digital game. I had a hard time pulling the trigger on The Witness, for $10, the other day, though i did so in the end.

$10 well spent!

Most of my games are digital nowadays. The only time I buy physical is if a new game I must have. I'm not up for paying £50 to £60 on a digital game.

Monster Hunter World at #8 not bad.
DBFighterZ doing better than I expected,....

That Xbox One S at $218, isnt doing very well.
PS4pro is now selling faster than the Xbox One X.

PS4 at 280-299$ isnt selling nearly as well as when it was 199$-249$.
Hopefully sony does a official price cut to make sure 2018 goes really well (another 20m year).

How did you upload that pic?

I can't.

Open "Snipping Tool" on your computer to capture the desired area.. Or.. print screen, paste and crop it with "Paint". Then save the image, upload it to imgur, and you're done!

If that's what you're asking.

 

I did it !　　Thank you Kyuu !

Comparing the monthly chart to last year's I'm going to change my opinion on XB1 sales. Compared to last year, XB1 is doing much better. It could be closer to PS4 than I first thought. That's if it doesn't have a huge decline.
Sony seem happy to cost along with the $300 1TB



CalmFire on 14 January 2018

Sony should at least drop it to $250. They just changed it to the 1TB version, so maybe they want to get more money with the $300 first and then drop to $250 after a little while.
