What does this refer to?

By 'best selling console' they mean 'the best console that was on sale'

 

[Boke1879]

In this thread? Just USA sales.

But NPD tracks USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand sales.

Aqua we need numbers

 

[TraBuch]

God dammit. How am I supposed to enjoy my PS4 now?

 

[Einbroch]

What does this refer to?

Based on the information they have, most likely. It's just a way to cover their asses in case some new information comes out that disproves it. They all do it.

 

[mdubs]

 

[GobFather]

WW or USA ?

it says in that same sentence... US and UK

 

[DryvBy]

So will they finally say how many systems customers bought vs. how many they sold to stores?

 

[lightning2k3]

New record for XBO means > 909k from last November.


Wonder if Sony will go global now with their PR.

Possibly over a million? Thats impressive.

 

[Jomjom]

I'm guessing their statement that Xbox One fans bought more games includes those packed in ones.

 

[MrJonnyBigBoss]

whats the asterisk

"* Based on data from NPD GFK ChartTrack"

 

[vinnygambini]

Aqua we need numbers

Calmate pepito.

Aqua will comment, as she always does.

 

[thomasmahler]

whats the asterisk

 

[Gurish]

Expected and if we can't get to know by how much this is gonna be one boring NPD.

 

[JaggedSac]

God dammit. How am I supposed to enjoy my PS4 now?

Same way Bone owners have been enjoying their console for the other months this year. By playing games.

 

[Euron]

So yeah, Sony has woken the dragon.

 

[TomShoe]

God dammit. How am I supposed to enjoy my PS4 now?

I dunno man, seeing people buying Xbox Ones makes my blood boil. How dare they.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

damn

-

 

[Rymuth]

Boom goes the dynamite!

Pardon me, but what's the asterik * for? Does it say in the email?

 

[pargonta]

it could still be #2 in U.S. only for november, which is the point of this.

oh unless the and means a separate and. not a cumulative and

language how does it work

sorry

 

[Mrbob]

New record for XBO means > 909k from last November.


Wonder if Sony will go global now with their PR.

That was my first though too, but then PR threw UK numbers into the mix. Could be combined numbers are higher than last year? I have no idea what XB1 sold in the UK last November.

 

[Heartfyre]

If Sony loses what will they tweet this time?

It's been so long since they had to tweet about a loss, it'd be hard to even guess at, really.

Definitely expecting an XBO win. The only question is: how much?

 

[bananafactory]

Orochi redeemed.

Need numbers pls

“We are committed to making Xbox the best place to play, with this year’s best games, the best community of gamers to play with, and terrific value. And we are amazed by the excitement Xbox fans have shown to start off this holiday. November set a new record for sales of Xbox One, and Xbox One was the best-selling console in the US and UK.* Response to the holiday lineup of games on Xbox One was incredible, with Xbox One fans buying more games in November in the U.S. than any other gen eight platform and enjoying over 357 million hours of gameplay globally. In fact, more fans logged into Xbox Live across Xbox One and Xbox 360, and enjoyed more entertainment, than any other month in the history of Xbox. We love to see the excitement from our fans and are grateful for their passion, support and contributions to the Xbox community.” – Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing.

What is this shit?

This is not the PR I'm entitled to.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Probably something along the lines of "according to so and so", or sold-in

"* Based on data from NPD GFK ChartTrack"

Ha, nailed it

 

[loaf of bread]

So yeah, Sony has woken the dragon.

Oh god, now we have to deal with open_mouth in the NPD results thread.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Possibly over a million? Thats impressive.

I think if they were over a million, MS would say so. That's an impressive, headline generating number. But maybe they didn't want to get too granular.

 

[RyanPierre]

That sure is a lot of spin for a PR win. Hours played? Log ins across two consoles?

We're all dying to know about the number of miles driven by zombie Titans and they only give us hours played.

 

[Guymelef]

Possibly over a million? Thats impressive.

Over a million would be on their PR I think.

 

[GamerJM]

Well that post and this one are not even tangentially related, and this one is going to be indisputably true in a few minutes. Only of course Sony is still going to be way ahead in US system unit number and massively ahead on a worldwide basis, so it's not like any ages are coming to a close right this second

I know, hence the "/s" .

 

[iJudged]

When do we get some numbers?

 

[Welfare]

If Sony loses what will they tweet this time?

What they did last time. Just say they are still number 1 LTD.

 

[crazyprac]

What is this shit?

This is not the PR I'm entitled to.

Lmao. No numbers? Damnit got to wait till like Saturday until aqua gives us numbers... Guess time to study for exams.

 

[Kolma]

When do we get some numbers?

3 minutes

 

[Loudninja]

Are we sure that PR real?

Just making sure here.

 

[Deadly Joker]

By 'best selling console' they mean 'the best console that was on sale'

 

[allan-bh]

Boring MS PR if is real.

 

[lightning2k3]

Over a million would be on their PR I think.

I think if they were over a million, MS would say so. That's an impressive, headline generating number. But maybe they didn't want to get too granular.

So we have a range of 909k to 1million? Thats not too wide. We can potentially extrapolate some info from this.

 

[GeoramA]

The streak noooooooooo

 

[Dead Prince]

If Sony loses what will they tweet this time?

2015 games sans Vita.

 

[Cidd]

Congrats to MS, It only took 2 price drops, free games and Black Friday deals to beat Sony, job well done I guess...

 

[Y2Kev]

Why do you think it's fake?

 

[Jomjom]

The streak noooooooooo

The streak didn't even make it to a full year.

 

[Welfare]

No but seriously, why would anyone predict that the One would be below last years number?

 

[Atlas157]

Boring MS PR if is real.

They can't get too cocky. If Sony destroys them in December then they'll look like idiots.

If they win December too then they'll most likely have better PR.

 

[vpance]

Sony got legit shook.

 

[Loudninja]

Why do you think it's fake?

Eh no reason,sometimes people like to joke so just making sure!

 

[JaggedSac]

Most game sales makes sense due to giving away like two with each console purchase lol. Biggest month on Live is interesting too.

 

[Stone Ocean]

If they couldn't win at those deals might as well pack it up and go home.

 

[Einbroch]

If Sony loses what will they tweet this time?

Number of times the PS4 was turned on.

 

[iJudged]

No reason to sound so salty, it's all good.
