Sony needs to go on a 36 month streak

gundamkyoukai · Feb 13, 2014

holy shit and PS4 still having supply problems .
MS better do something fast ,

The struggle is real.

NPD thread will be glorious.

How is MS going to spin this? Thats the real question here folks

Probably not.

If it was Gaf would be down for a week.

posting in an epic thread lol

thekonamicode · Feb 13, 2014

Yeah, but which one sold faster?

RedAssedApe · Feb 13, 2014

so much for people thinking xbone would outsell ps4 due to stock shortages...where's that woah face gif?

xbox's press release is pretty funny. no mention of consoles sold...just games.

ps4 has no games.

Visualante2 · Feb 13, 2014

Tier gone country: confirmed

SmokedMeat · Feb 13, 2014

Glad to hear it.

Dead Prince · Feb 13, 2014

supply constrained.

NeoUltima · Feb 13, 2014

Not surprising to anyone who works retail.

MrDaravon · Feb 13, 2014

HOLY SHIT

Like, I think most people expected the PS4 to sell more, but I wasn't expecting dramatically more. If true, this completely debunks the "ample supply for ample demand" theory.

They are: Titanfall. The question is, will it be enough? Only other thing I can think of short-term they could do would be a price drop.

Pennywise · Feb 13, 2014

Lagspike_exe · Feb 13, 2014

Humiliating. Xbone down to PS3 levels it seems.

enanogrande · Feb 13, 2014

That is some massive drop off by the Xbone.

They already did.

More importantly, it is gratifying for our team to see Xbox continue to prove its the best place to play games. January NPD Group figures released today revealed Xbox* sold the most games across all console platforms in January with 2.27 million units sold, making up 47 percent of software market share. Fans continue to show their excitement for new generation Xbox One games, with U.S. consumers purchasing an average of 2.7 games per console since launch. This amazing success is due in large part to our unrivaled games lineup, first class Xbox Live multiplayer games service and a platform for game developers that offers unique capabilities such as Kinect and Xbox SmartGlass.

The asterisk?

*Across Xbox One and Xbox 360

DaBuddaDa · Feb 13, 2014

Wasn't it almost equal or XB1 slightly ahead in Dec? Why the massive flip?

Verendus · Feb 13, 2014

There is obviously an error here. PS4 has no games so how could the console be selling? Xbox One has games and, more importantly, the best exclusives like the fantastic Ryse, the magnetic Killer Instinct, and the electric Dead Rising 3.

Zornack · Feb 13, 2014

All the while PS4 is supply strained and XB1 isn't?

Goddamn.

Orayn · Feb 13, 2014

You know that part in the song Rosetta Stoned where the guy says "HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT!" and it repeats about ten times? Yeah, that.

Well done, Sony.

What a horrible thing to wish on the GAF servers.

It would be hilarious.

boeso · Feb 13, 2014

Its not a sprint though right? Gotta save energy for the future. Let the spinning, commence.

Also:

Mikey Jr. · Feb 13, 2014

Doubling...and being hard to find.

Damn!

Ya.. EA seems to have made quite a few boneheaded business decisions lately. This could be the dumbest yet.

krypt0nian · Feb 13, 2014

Yep. Yep.

Well I guess the early adopters are done. Xbox faces a giant uphill climb now.

These are the North American numbers. PS4 doubled Xbone here.

These are US "numbers".

Proxy · Feb 13, 2014

And the PS4 is still largely supply constrained for the most part. Looks like demand for the Xbone has definitely dropped.

Wedge7 · Feb 13, 2014

lol this should be fun

SmokyDave · Feb 13, 2014

Surely not. I expect the PS4 to have sold more, but nowhere near that much.

These are US numbers he's talking about.

Relaxed Muscle · Feb 13, 2014

Dayum!

Didn't expect that difference.

Texhex said:

DAMN! That was good.

Jomjom · Feb 13, 2014

Wow I wonder if PS4 could have sold 3:1 if its supply had met demand.

illmatic22 · Feb 13, 2014

Muh New Zealand

Yo ShockingAlberto what happened to that Xbox momentum?

MormaPope · Feb 13, 2014

Hopefully this means a Xbox One bundle without Kinect for $350 or $400. Yeah yeah, "but the Xbox One without a kinect makes it almost useless!". Well, consumers are choosing with their wallets and the PS4 being cheaper and more capable when it comes to game performance is a bigger selling point than a Xbox One with a kinect.

Xbox One fastest selling console among more discerning consumers.

Also, these numbers are insane, I was expecting it to be pretty close considering neither console had any giant releases.

sacrificengineer · Feb 13, 2014

ethomaz · Feb 13, 2014

Dammit US is Sony land now.

Zeppeli · Feb 13, 2014

Nearly is not double. Great for Sony though, deservedly so.

MrDaravon · Feb 13, 2014

Also:

Geoff Keighley ‏@geoffkeighley 41s
Also, I'm told by Sony that @tombraider on PS4 outsold the Xbox One version 2:1
