I will say this though. It's bigger news if the PS4 outsells the Xbone, than the Xbone outselling the PS4 in March.

It's simply what I'm thinking. Titanfall is a huge title for Microsoft and I believe that they sold a large amount of units. We already saw an uptick in sales in February. March will continue that trend. Combine that with the launch of Titanfall, a game of which many people believe it is only available on XB1, and they are sure to sell even more XB1s than last month.
Last but not least, the Xbox One has been 'on sale' in a lot of stores. Some stores offer coupons, others simply sell the Xbox One for a lower price. Hell, I even saw a thread here where Amazon was selling the Xbox One with Forza for $399. People jump on that: "wow, it's $100 off, quickly buy it!"
So there it is. Three reasons on why I think Microsoft will do better, much better, than Sony this month.
If we look at Sony, supply is getting slightly better but not much. I think the best Sony can do is slightly better than what they did last month - but that won't be enough to stay ahead of XB1. At least not in March.
I get what you're saying. That said, I don't own an XB1. I do own a PS4.
My feeling. See above.
From this, I get that MS *has* to win march. If they don't, despite titanfall, despite price cuts..then they're fucked without a huge price cut from MS
..and I don't think they will win March. Sony are shipping too many units in
Another risk is if Xbox one becomes a box that people don't want to buy. In that situation,even price cuts may not move units.
Yea, it seems like they are banking on the fact that pricing is the ultimate reason why ps4 is outpacing them.
Not convinced thats the case.
The March results will be fascinating.

As much as I would like to believe I was right and PS4 wins March, I never could of expected what is happening.
1. Xbox has more stock
2. $100 off with free Forza
3. $70 off with free Titanfall and free month of gold
Free publicity on slickdeals, cheapassgamer, and more.
The price drops combined with free game will have a HUGE impact. If they don't, it is over.

Yea, I used to frequent that site until I discovered Neogaf last year. If anything, they
need better moderation; it was like Gamefaqs at certain times. Their numbers are super
suspicious though, which is unfortunate because a proper site dedicated to sales would
have been great.
The release of InFamous: Second Son has given PS4 hardware sales a big jump in the UK.
MCV has been told by a trusted retail source that sales of PS4 consoles jumped 106 per cent last week as exclusive title InFamous: Second Son debuted on Sonys machine, jumping straight to No.1 in the process.
Thats a bigger jump than Xbox One enjoyed following the release of Titanfall that saw sales of Microsofts machine jump 96 per cent.
InFamous today debuted at No.1 in the UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40.
And yet you still offered it up as evidence of an xbone win this month?
Only 2 days late ;P
I think X1 will win March NPD. Feb NPD was so close and the TF should help it to win at least Match.
Should be an easy X1 win this month, never underestimate how well dudebro sells in the US. TF alone would have granted the win, but price cuts on top would have swayed many.
Sony is really sending a lot of systems to retail now. My district had something like 190 units getting shipped to stores in the district, and that's the second shipment for the week.
We've also been getting a few boxes drop shipped as well.
it will be better if you tell how much you got shipped in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb.. to get the better idea if the shipment is increasing and if so by how much..Sony is really sending a lot of systems to retail now.

That 106% jump is coming off of a 70% jump from the week before. Not that it means much without numbers for either console.Old. Also, the XBO had won four weeks in a row, so I imagine the PS4 numbers before the 106% jump were pretty bad due to supply issues.
Sony is still selling every unit they make...
Do they? There are at least 999 in Amazon.com warehouses, I am sure there are some in Japan, southern European countries are reported to have quite some stock.

3 and half months... damn son.
As of 20:07 UK time
More than 999 of the standard.
Only 211 of the AC4 bundle
Only 3 of the Infamous bundle - EDIT this is not from Amazon but from a 3rd party.
Sony is still selling every unit they make. Microsoft is not... Sony has already won Europe and the UK. If Microsoft really sold that well, as everybody is speculating, they would've let us know by now.
They arent going to let people know how they sold in March,especially when March isn't over.
If TitanFall was a smash hit we'd already being seeing hard numbers being paraded around.
The fact that there are so many deals out there for the Xbone right now just makes it obvious that retailers are trying to dump stock, which isn't a positive thing this early in the systems life cycle.
I suspect the numbers will be very close this month, when the reality is that Microsoft should have easily won it.

I meant for the hardware,not titanfall.
