360 delay will definitely put the spotlight on Xbox one, it's going to push lots of consoles imo. Especially of the titan fall bundle if real.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if NPD released a last minute release stating that results were delayed until next week.
Doubtful. I think we're going to see PS4 lead by a small margin. PS4 was not constrained as much in Jan as it was in Dec. That's just pure holiday-period logic. It was also available at major retailers more frequently throughout the month. Definitely leaning towards a PS4 month.
But 100K in favor of XBO?

Then Nintendo Direct would be the only entertainment for tonight.
NPD PR in two hours, guys.
This seems disproportionately hyped in comparison to that massive Nintendo Direct thread.

There is almost a sense of fear and nervousness regarding the Jan NPD, the numbers, especially for Xbox One and PS4 will tell a lot where these consoles really are
With the Wii U, there is almost a sense of relief, yeah its a commercial flop, but NintendoGAF has accepted that and just wants to enjoy the games now and put 2013 behind them.
I'm slow. I only noticed after you said it that it was timed to distract people from the NPD release.
They already did it once in Japan, a Direct at the same time Famitsu releases their sales. Can't remember when exactly or if sales were so bad for them to warrant such thing.
There were signs of the WiiU impending doom in Nov./Dec. 2012 sales numbers: the software sales were ridiculously low. There are no such signs for the PS4 and XBone as they are both software moving beasts right out of the gate.

The signs of the Wii U doom were when it was announced back at E3 and for hours everyone was confused whether it was a new console or not, since they only showed AND TALKED about the controller.
Definitely, I still remember being completely confused for a while and I'm someone who follows the games industry. I can't imagine how confused more casual gamers were
20 minutes left right?
Anyone else getting a lot of server crashes? Looks like a lot of people on are to see the news.

Why is this months NPD so hyped? Because the PS4 is expected to be on top again?
We haven't seen any actual numbers from Sony yet though, except for WW sales, so I again expect this. No numbers, just a " PS4 is Top Selling Next-Gen Console of January 2014 " headline.
Sony may actually be able to announce that they have reached 5,000,000 sold though. Looks like it is a possibility that has occured already, even before the Japan launch.
I don't think that mean much really.The reason for Titan fall embargo bring lifted a day or two before NPD should tell you everything.

The thing is Sony will not announce a number probably til GDC. So even if Sony is #1 we wont be able to tell the gap between them and #2, right.

WW sure? But if we get US numbers for both tonight either officially or leaked we can compare the US market at least

Edit: haha we posted at the same time Chobel
When are we getting NPD numbers for January?
Are people actually expecting anything to come out of that? Fool me you can't get fooled again.Nintendo Direct is going to spoil the fun. Hopefully the servers will be back to normal in 30 minutes
Maybe Sony will reveal NPD data about Microsoft this month.If MS were the winner, Major Nelson would have tweeted something by now. His silence points to a Sony win, but maybe he just wants to be humble...
