Switch: 385K
PS4: 204K
XBO: 221K

XBO had a strong 50$ off Promo (plus a 100S off One X Fallout 76 bundle), and Switch the 35$ Gift card promo, but PS4 had neither of those.

Additionally, all the bigger games that month fizzled out apart from Apex, so not many reasons to buy a console outside of the promos.

XBO had deals last month, too, yet the PS4 beat it almost 2:1. I just don't see the XBO beating PS4 til maybe Dec.

If I recall the January deals were mostly near the end of the month while the February deals were pretty much the entire month. I could be wrong though.

PS4 should definitely outsell XBO regardless but it will be much closer than January.

This only affected the very last week of January and the XBO was dead the 3 weeks before because of the discounts during the holiday season. It also showed this on the NPD prediction thread and that it had 0 chances to keep up with Switch and PS4 in January.

XBO was on sale in some form or another throughout February, and in front of the PS4 for half of it in the prediction thread, ending up slightly in front.

PS4 can end up beating the XBO, but it will be not by much if it does (the advantage in the prediction thread is pretty slim, close to a tossup in elections).

If the prediction thread is close to being correct you would get something like:-

Switch:- 375k
Xone :- 185k
PS4 :- 180k



DON'T WIN ME CHIBI BUDDY DON'T WIN ME.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF FRIEND CODE:- 5129 1175 1029. MESSAGE ME.
ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I've been away so long, I can't even make decent predictions anymore considering I barely know the landscape right now...

Wtf happened to me?



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

You're washed up, a shell of your former self.
