So, it's safe to say that
1) Assassin's Creed was a next-gen system seller
2) HD Remakes still don't sell shit compared to their original releases. Halo and GTA can be added to the pile, even with their healthy sales.
3) Sonic is dead. Finally.
He said the final game would run at 720p. The beta came out at a slightly higher resolution. The devs said the final game would run at that resolution. He said the final game would run at 720p again, basically calling the devs bullshit artists. He got banned.

I agree. Sony is fine and has surprised themselves so far. They are running on fumes right now with no need to find a gas station at all.

I thought no backwards compatibility would be a thing.
Remasters, remasters everywhere.

you thought I was grossly overestimating too when I said gap closer to 350k-400k two weeks ago
i served you gentle, friendly crow earlier in the topic. Will you take a small spoonful of it, as a joke?
Definitely. I'm happy it did better than I expected since the sooner that people jump onto current gen, the sooner that current gen only games (instead of cross gen) will be made.
Okay, so to avoid the viewing of the situation in a vacuum, you think we should ignore history and focus solely on this one month that supports your weak argument? And you claim this generation is so different? Isn't that historical perspective? And what's this slow burn you're talking about? Ever heard of the Wii?

I know it's US NPD but people are writing off other countries without knowing numbers.
That particular bug was from the closed beta on the Xbox One. Framedrops are currently the major issue with the game.

The game had plenty of genuine bugs at launch, you don't need to post that bullshit gif.
Physical version is exclusive to Gamestop. IIRC NPD didn't report on Xenoblade so I imagine the same will be for ToHR.
I don't think so. $329

Yeah that bug was from the pre alpha. I don't doubt your coworker's story though. Some people either don't notice that shit or are lucky enough to avoid them.

If XB1 outsells PS4 by 100k or more in december I am going to have so many posts to quote.

He said it would be 720p, respawn said (on here) it would release at 792p, then he said it would be downgraded to 720p anyways.
Ah. Yeah he was like "the game is super smooth I dunno what everyone is talking about. My favorite in the series best storyline in a game in a long time blah blah blah" and then started trying to spoil Dragon Age for me so I left.
*currently waiting for UPS to show up so I can play it*
I believe, given its performance in November, it will beat PS4 by 250k in December NPD.
MARK THIS POST NOW BROSEF.
Yeah good point. A little OT but I have just read that PS4 is THE biggest revenue driver of Sony for last quarter at the Japanese news site. They will be extremely cautions about the price cut IMO.

Microsoft had a great month on the back of their price cuts and giveaway games, but I think it's a little premature to say PS4's overall lead is "basically minimal now". This month put them back to their lead before the Destiny bundle in September. So... still significant.
A great month for MS after a year of losses. Nothing more or less.
meh i don't think they would look at it as a beating. those are solid numbers for ps4. MS just earned alot of those sales that were probably going to be for next year by doing the price cut alongside some crazy deals which Sony will get too next year when they drop the price. MS threw everything and the kitchen sink and they were able to get a good extra chunk of sales.
Unless the show somehow ends up being profitable, you can forget Sega of Japan ever letting SoA do anything like Sonic Boom ever again.
Said TF final will be 720p and have the low-res textures from the alpha test version, even though the beta was 792p already and had much better textures. He doubled down on his initial 720p/alpha textures claim and got banned for a short while.
Hah, so CBOAT was wrong. Well who would have guessed /s
Sometimes i think the 'insiders' on this website just like taking everyone for a ride with pretending to have info they don't actually have.
Again, good for MS, they brought the heat last month, them winning stands to reason

They have kept it pretty cool IMO. I think its smart. Their PR didn't mention the sales gap which IMO means they are cautious of over reacting after 1 month.
However, if say they continue to close the GAP in the US over the next few months you will start to see them expand their wings regarding sales. I don't expect them to start dropping sales figures until they erase most of the US gap(at least under 200k)

Well... at least one system was over a million units.
Took some freaking drastic deals and a huge cut to get there, but One did it.

Can we get Xbox 360 and Wii LTD?
*looks around*
I have 3.09 million.
Close enough.

Only reason I would doubt it would be November was the first month the sales cuts went into place so it front loads a lot. Otherwise seems possible.

I bought both ;p
I mean as long as they continue to maintain a dominant footing on the worldwide basis and still sell as great as they did in November NPD, they are not going to rush into cutting the price.
We're still at least 8 or 9 months off from a viable PS4 price cut option I think.
It really depends though on what choice Microsoft makes regarding to price of XBO after these holidays, and where the month-to-month average settles in at once the fireworks are through. 'Cause then Sony can gain back some ground with a crucial software+price cut combo, given all the high profile products Sony is either co-marketing or releasing themselves.

More like ~250k

Not sure what you are trying to prove?
You were saying Xbox One could win with MCC and other exclusives when we now know that isn't true at all.
Xbox One is a true contender to he PS4 at the ~$280-330 price point.
