Great numbers for Sony and Microsoft.

it's nice, isn't it?
gaf has done a great job in this thread. relaxed, calm, intelligent discussion.
I'd love a PS4 price cut right now... It just doesn't make any sense for Sony to actually do it since they are tying MS in the US and making bank everywhere else.

I don't get why you're bothering to respond to someone who enters into a sales discussion thread and questions why people are discussing pricing strategy. And who has such a colorful 59 post history.

Guys i need a recap with "confirmed" numbers please.
I only saw PS4 at 1.07 ML.
Seems like it's:
XB1: 1,26m
PS4: 1,07m
WiiU: 585k
3DS: 810k
PSV: 165k
Do some people here agree?
Oh, a price cut would be nice. But I just don't see many reasons for Sony to do it... Plus whenever they actually cut the price, they will probably do it worldwide, and definitely. Not some limited to US and temporary thing like what Microsoft did and does.

I don't check post-history. Well, most of the time, I don't.
And if you've known my posting style, some would notice that occasionally, I have a tendency to post before thinking things through, thus making some edits every now and then when an intended joke/quip falls flat. The same applies to random retorts like this.
And thanks for the tip.

PSV too high.
XBO too low.
XBO too low.
I only do it on occasion, when a member I'm unfamiliar with posts something pointless or inane to see if they're actually worth responding to or if it will fall on deaf ears/they aren't actually interested in any actual discussion.

When do we get the prediction results? I want to see how I ranked against the rest of you.

Go 360! My favorite console yet.
From reading Aqua's posts, your XBO number is low, PSV number high and Wii U number high.
Edit: Beaten by the Queen herself.

The prediction thread took away some of the posts with Major Nelson leaking the numbers early on his blog.

How much consoles overall did the 360 sold? They beat the Wii on the states, which is surprising for me.

Hmm, did another remeasure of the angles in the pie.
130.503
158.866
70.631
This time using PS4 1070K as base gave 579K, which I'm guessing is slightly low.
imageJ measurement error has a greater proportional effect on Wii U given it's relatively smaller segment/numbers.

Apart from the usual suspects, this has been a good thread.

Ah, I see thank you much good sir.
What was the relative gap between the PS4 and X1 before the sales period?

Sony murdering competitor worldwide. Even though I do expect some value proposition deals if thing will go bad in NA, I don't expect full price cut until Sony ready to roll out it WW.
For Sony rotw is twice the size of US market, for MS - it's only around half of the US market and if we look at US+UK - it is 3 times larger that the rest of the world combined. So for both companies focus is different thus the actions and reactions also differs.

1.2-ish million. Reduced to 500k-ish.
Disclaimer : my margin of error is higher than the folks who keep up in detail. Tread with skeptism and three pinches of salt.
I looked at the post counts, 7-10k diff.

The numbers for December are interesting, I wonder if January price slash will be enough to make xbox competitive for the month. As it seems $350 with both games was the magic number. Love the Vita numbers btw.

1.8 to 2 seems about there, depending on how much one high/lows the respective figures.

That is very impressive and all in 2 months. January is going to be a great indicator on if MS really turned this ship around.
~$349 not including retailer discounts and deals, which weren't nearly as plentiful as November.
$350 plus bundled copies of Assassin's Creed Unity and a bunch of other shit.

With a ballpark 2:1 lead WW I doubt they'll pricecut until manufacturing costs let them do so and maintain current margins.
Based on last gen, maybe not even then - they'll just do "value add" SKUs rather than actual price drops (larger HDD, more titles bundled).
I think February onward will be a far better indicator since the Xbone will be $349 for its entirety.
I think the price being brought up at $400 was going to harm the Xbone considerably in an already slow month, and they sold at that price for the first half of this month
I think the scuttlebutt is that sales took a swan dive off a cliff.

Good. I hope MS keeps kicking Sony's ass for another 6 months the way PSN has been utter shit this fall. Never before have I felt a sense of uncertainty every time I turn on my console. PSN service has been a mess since Destiny launched, not to mention the one exclusive they had (Drive Club) also being a total mess. Sony deserved a severe beating this fall, and hopefully this will force them to better their services and games.
The lack of quality exclusives did not help last year given that I don't care much for Ubisoft franchises (which kinda ruined this fall for me). It will be two years into the console life cycle before I get to experience Uncharted and Ratchet, and still no signs of other beloved sony franchises like GoW or Sly. I love good indies, but my console wont survive on them alone.
Luckily I bought a Wii U this fall, and it has made my PS4 pretty much just collect dust.

Beautiful country, but I've only seen Auckland. Never pictured them to be the region to purchase the most, but that's why I asked. Thanks

bro...
Holy shit it sold 3 units.
so either this http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=147649967&postcount=70 is wrong, or the ps4 numbers are wrong too.
