LOL at Alpha Sapphire > Omega Ruby. Should've just called it Beta Ruby.

This sneaky post in the midst of 'lol 7-10k only' reactions.

I agree btw.

welll i bought an xb1 for december NPD. i'll help them out.

 

[Einbroch]

Sony, you fools. You could have won if you had simply sold your grey PS4 in November!

Clearly this means that XB1 sold so much in November that the gap has closed to 7-10k, right!?

 

[psn]

How big is the fault tolerance? 7-10k is not much ...

Crossposting from preditcions threads:

Super Smash Bros. 3DS/WiiU count as one game when it has severily different stages and modes, Pokemon ORAS count as two games even tho they are essentially the same game. Um...ok?

Looking at Nintendo's PR, glad to see Both Smash's and Pokemon's doing well. I hope LBP3 did okay...

Seriously kinda miffed that they are counted as one game (even tho that game them higher on the list.) They are quite different. I don't understand.

In addition:

-I guess good numbers for Amiibo? Cool figures. Pls restock more.
-Bad WiiU hardware numbers tho. Good that the Nintendo hardcore continues to buy WiiU games but systems are just dead.
-Were they any Dangan Ronpa 2 #'s last month? Good or Bad in relation to type of game? I hope we get #s for that, and LBP3. Have a feeling LBP3 bombed. :/

I thought Dragon Age would be popular enough to chart. That's a shame.

 

[TomShoe]

He added, “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.

Do Xbox owners typically have higher attach rates in the US? That always seemed to be the case.

If this were an actual election that would be considered a statistical dead heat.

[orochi91]

Has Sony issued a response yet? Maybe we'll get worldwide numbers LTD update?

Probably waiting on that 20 million sold/shipped figure before announcing WW totals.

 

[RyanPierre]

What's the margin of error on NPD numbers compared to the purported 7-10k difference?

 

[shinra-bansho]

Also, for the first time in forever... accessories are actually very interesting this month.

Hope we get some details on that beyond revenue increase.

 

[harSon]

Banjo, no?

I hope so <3 Better question would be how many Rare IPs are going to be realized, whether by Rare or another studio.

 

[JABEE]

Even when Sony loses, they win. Lol

Xbox One will be $299 by August. PS4 will follow to a lesser extent. Good for everyone.

Overall hardware sales were $1.10 billion, down 23 percent from $1.31 billion a year ago. Hardware price cuts explain some of that, but those cuts did not inspire a new wave of demand to make up for the cuts.

Ah.

 

[Death2494]

Halo tanked I guess? Jesus

I don't think it did. Considering it charted at all with GTAV/ COD/ and ACU I'm assuming it performed pretty well

 

[Frag Waffles]

It...it wasn't worth it, MS. It just wasn't worth it. Damn.

It was though. Game, set match if they hadn't.

probably trying to think of a clever way of saying it without gloating (if cboat's figures are accurate)

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Where did they get the 7-10K difference from?

IS that official?

I don't get where people get these numbers from? How do we know this is legit? Is a person here an industry insider?

Make a nice warm drink, get yourself cozy beside the fire and then google "cboat" Enjoy the multiple gaf threads.

The shenanigans he's caused are pretty infamous, even outside GAF and he just dropped another bomb on the 1st page.

 

[The Shogun]

Presenting meltdown candidate #1.

Meltdown? Lol I work in retail, I love when both sell a ton.

Its just annoying seeing posts calling this a failure instead of celebrating high sales for both consoles and a healthy industry.

Great to see so much consumer support for consoles that still aren't cheap by any means.

 

[Stilton Disco]

7-10k dif

What? What?? What???

That's... That can't be right surely... What?!?!?

If true, then fucking hell, that's more than just a pyrrhic victory, that's a fucking disaster for MS.

 

[Bog]

If that 7-10k difference is true, all Sony had to do was put those 25th Anniversary consoles on sale a week earlier.

 

[VideoMan]

-"Cumulative PS4 & Xbox One sales are now almost 80 percent higher than the combined total of PS3 and Xbox 360 sales after 13 months..."

By my calculations this puts PS4 + XboxOne LTD sales at around 10.8 million in North America

 

[Gonzo The Great]

LOL @ Wii U still selling <250k the same month Smash came out. Nintendo was smart not to lower the price, otherwise they would be hemorrhaging money.

 

[dungtongue]

It looks like Xbox One's new price will have to be permanent otherwise they have no chance.

 

[Trevelyon]

Still don't know if XB1 actually won the US.

Fuck that PR Mumbo jumbo.

 

[udivision]

Miss!
Miss!
I paid 7.10 for this split.
Spare me your gutter mouth.

 

[Guymelef]

If the difference is true.
Finally a NPD thread has become interesting and for reasons nobody expected.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wow at so much of this O_O

7-10k difference
Advanced Warfare was 360>XB1>PS4
AC Unity at number 9 also doesn't seem great

 

[Nafai1123]

This thread is going to be crazy.

OH BOY, HERE WE GO


EDIT: To have some actual substance here, I guess this means that they may not win December like we expected?

 

[JaggedSac]

Ah.

Both consoles had monster launch supply.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

7-10k dif

That would be hilarious if true.

Were talking number around 1mil here, aren't we?
7-10k dif is nothing here.

 

[motorised mallard]

I would have guessed 25k-50k win to Xbone but damn, that is barely a win.

- edit -
Actually that is barely a win also, ~10% win to MS was on my mind.
Nvm, I'm an idiot.
Back to the original!

Spoiler

Too early to say that the race is over? I'm in EU btw so it pretty much done here already

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Can anyone verify CBOAT?

[Jburton]

Fire sale X1 could only win by 10k or less.

Sony made a lot of money, MS just lost a lot.


Sony wins Dec easy, X1 sakes have been climbing down all month since the peak.

 

[Miles X]

Aqua, care to confirm or not?

 

[loaf of bread]

I'm really upset Sony didn't just sell a few more consoles to win, this thread would be infinitely more entertaining if they did lol.

 

[Canis lupus]

7-10k dif

Wow this was such a pyrrhic victory for MS.

 

[Busaiku]

It's funny how people never included Pokemon in the "big" games of November, when it's at least the 2nd best selling (Grand Theft Auto V might be higher).

 

[NHale]

So Microsoft closed the overall US gap to 7k. Recovered 1.1M this month alone? Incredible.

 

[Hellsing321]

7-10k dif

 

[Amir0x]

what's Wii U's number if it increased 90% from last year? I know it's never going to be remotely successful, but I am interested in seeing the type of unit effect Smash Bros. had vs. Mario Kart.

 

[IAmRandom31]

So much for that September like victory.

I guessed only 50k win but that was more my own fanboy talking. Never thought it would he 10k or something like that.

Man the PS4 really is a monster and 2015 is going to be just plain nuts

 

[RoKKeR]

Can anyone verify CBOAT?

He's CBOAT. Nothing more to verify.

Sometimes he's right, other times he's not. Just have to take it for what it is.

 

[Tamanon]

Now Sony just needs to put together a press release touting the best selling console for Japan and US combined.

 

[Xando]

Should have sold those 12k PS1 PS4s, Sony.
