7-10k dif

But some people expect MS to close the gap this month.....

He lives...

 

[King Beyond the wall]

Sony, you should use your PR for the NPD to formally surrender to the One true console. Bend the knee and embrace the Xbone.

 

[Lexxism]

What was WiiU sales last November 2013? It says that it increase 10%.

 

[Acquiescence]

7-10k dif

Sooooooo, the streak starts anew in December I take it?

 

[The Omega Man]

7k to10k difference? lel

MS won but Sony won

 

[ironcreed]

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

Great news all around and congrats to Microsoft. Glad to see that the Wii U is up as well.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Microsoft won November NPD, this is a fact. Mr. Boyes knows.

The question is will we find out by how much?

I'm predicting BIG.

 

[Welfare]

cboat is Tim Dog confirmed.

Both over 1 million is good, if those are even the real numbers.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'd imagine most November PS4 sales were not the Black Friday bundle.

There may have been some deals here and there. But that bundle was gone in just a few days.

That's super impressive that Sony held their ground without slashing prices. There's a time and a place for that. Just not now.

 

[xxracerxx]

Must be so bittersweet over at MS right now.

 

[FDC1]

So the difference is in the margin of error?

 

[Chobel]

FFS, someone confirm or deny what cboat said?

Aqua? Queso? Harker? Anyone?

 

[AngryMoth]

Anyone it's a bit silly that the 2 Pokemon games are counted separately considering they are like 98% the same game?

 

[Earthanoid]

I trust CBOAT but 7-10k is hard to believe. How can it be that close with the Xbone price slashed so much? MS will still get a good PR cycle from this, as tech blogs usually don't provide numbers, but that's a costly victory for them.

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

Lol, this is probably true.

 

[Dinjooh]

So I'm getting 242K for Wii U at a 10% increase from November 2013: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=733905

Is that correct?

That's quite... bad - no?

 

[loaf of bread]

MS could barely win in November with massive price cut deals along with exclusives coming out. They are going to get annihilated first half of next year when they have no big releases in sight.

 

[GaimeGuy]

They combined Smash 3DS and WiiU, but not pokemon ORAS.

What is NPD doing?

 

[Gestault]

That joke doesn't make sense here.

 

[SDCowboy]

If it's only a 7-10k difference, that's really, really sad.

 

[Tigress]

So if Sony adds Vita sales to PS4 sales, they "win"?

Sadly, maybe not (no idea what Vita usually sells each month these days. Earlier this year though Vita would not have even made the difference in those sales though one could argue it was cause they were hard to find as Sony was trying to sell off the remaining original ones). Though it does seem I saw a lot more posts about people getting Vita this month... Not sure why as I don't think anything new/interesting has happened to it, but hey, as some one who really loves the console and would like to see more support for it, I'm not complaining.

 

[Amentallica]

Lmaoooo @ all of those sales for a 10k difference

 

[Busaiku]

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.

Hardware only up 10%.
Software up 90%.

 

[Floridian]

The difference may be small but microsoft still won november so they didn't technically "lose".

 

[3rdamention]

I can't believe it myself.

Sony nearly pulled off a massive upset here!

No brother there would be no nearly about it if this is true. You know it, all the posts about Sony not dropping the price, it shows they knew exactly what they were doing. This is an upset if the difference is less than 10k, even if MS won, Sony comes out smelling like roses.


And based on some of the NPD Predictions, with MS winning by 200k, 300k, 2:1, this is a huge upset. There was also some of the posts about MS erasing nearly half of the USA gap this Holiday alone.

 

[botty]

The xbox stans can finally post the gifs they've been holding onto for over a year.

 

[TomShoe]

7-10k difference? sony must be on cloud nine lol.

Holy crap, this thread is going into the history books.

 

[MrJonnyBigBoss]

MS couldn't win in November with massive price cut deals along with exclusives coming out. They are going to get annihilated first half of next year when they have no big releases in sight.

Did you actually read the results? Sigh.

 

[plutoknight]

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.

That 90% was for software only, whereas the 10% is hardware.

I think a post earlier in the 7k-10k shuffle says the 10% puts the Wii U at Just shy of 250k for the month.

MK8 had a bigger effect, I think.

 

[JP]

7-10k dif

No, that can't be true. Can it? I'm sure Microsoft will be understandably vocal about coming in first but surely the sales have cost them far more than these sales are worth? With all the work they put into this month it makes it sound like they wouldn't have sold any at all without the discounts.

Crazy!

 

[orochi91]

Hey, how about that Sony momentum u claimed was lost? =P

Yea, CBOAT changed all that lol

Don't be a dick, MS won the month and that's that.

A Pyrrhic victory for MS at best if CBOAT is accurate.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

cboat is Tim Dog confirmed.

I really hope these numbers are real.

Essentially this month was a complete wash.

 

[Abdiel]

CBoaT's post totally makes me feel better about what I was seeing.

There was virtually no clear winner on our end. Stores were all over the place. Huge Sony shipments that didn't sell as 'fast', but sold like a goddamn truck, just constantly pushing numbers after the XB1 bundles emptied out.

So, yeah. 7-10k difference matches completely with how close of a game I figured it'd be.

 

[Jomjom]

Jomjom

Speak to us man

Well it's not exactly confirmed yet. I never guaranteed it would happen or something. If it really is only 7k-10k then I was WAYYYY off and I'll eat crow for it.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

This almost feels like a PS4 victory.

Sony didn't have to budge on price at all and still came close to winning :/

I feel really bad for MS right now lol

It pretty much is. You could even say Sony sat on their butts and still did really well. 10k is a MOE-type of number given how many units they both probably pushed.

It's like February all over again, but magnified. Tho this time the PS4 did technically come in 2nd, that shouldn't be forgotten.

 

[mrklaw]

Sony surely incoming with the 'most value in hardware sales' line?

 

[Naughty_Doge]

Clearly the 7-10k statement is about the Xbone selling so well that the gap diff is now 7-10k.

 

[Zyae]

There is going to be some heartbroken kids on Christmas day ~_~

what does this even mean?

 

[Y2Kev]

Must be so bittersweet over at MS right now.

Don't worry. They can drop another 29 to take December by 3k units

 

[allan-bh]

That's quite... bad - no?

Very disappointing

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I remember when MCC was announced people were talking about it like it was gonna sell like a brand new Halo.

 

[waitwhat42]

7-10k dif

Good God man...


The PS4 took the November haymaker from Microsoft like a champ.

Think about that- the price slashing and Ass Creeds bundle didn't even put a dent in Sony's lead.

Incredible.

 

[WrenchNinja]

They combined Smash 3DS and WiiU, but not pokemon ORAS.

What is NPD doing?

Making me feel bad about buying Omega Ruby instead of Alpha Sapphire

I wanted the winning version

 

[Emedan]

This thread already has posts trying to call this a failure from MS? Despite winning November and its best month ever? Get real

If CBOAT numbers are true it is a colossal failure by MS, they've lost the US.

 

[Kysen]

Aqua or Cosmic confirm?

 

[FDC1]

But some people expect MS to close the gap this month.....

They did. Only 99 more months like this one and it's done.

 

[Frag Waffles]

I expected a small gap at 45k for my predictions and I even thought that might have been a little low, god damn....

 

[vesvci]

If the buttocks speak on console sales truthfully, I can't believe MS won with basically a rounding error.

Haha.

 

[Hidden One]

7-10k dif

lmfao. That's nothing to write home about especially with all those price dropped bundles with 2 games and whatnot.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Did you even read the OP? Or the title?
