It was a given that Sony would win .
Now we need to wait on games and hardware numbers.

Yeah, it's an advert, not an NPD statement.

106 million, the significant milestone.
American companies just don't use the metric system.

Just an FYI, if you're sitting here wondering why they'd even release a statement - sometime a month or so ago, MS PR actually won an award in the marketing community. Like, a well known award. Thats how good they are.
The champs are just straight flexin at this point lol.

So, it means it did something, it made things worse!
Pretty interested in numbers for several games, especially multi releases, due to the possibility of Steam comparisons

Waiting for Queso ex machina. Thos mystical hints always are a treat.
So if you read this, maybe for a start:
In the range between 100k and 200k, do we have two consoles?

Ok so according to a Kotaku article on why Lionhead was closed down we have a whole bunch of new info on how MS properties are performing versus expectations. Pertinent quotes below
Holy shit at 2x the Win 10 installs despite their shady rollout practices. Apparently they also expected at least 2x the number of XB1s to be sold at this point.
Ok Halo 5 I get but Minecraft?!?! How the hell is Minecraft performing less than projected? What on earth were their projections just wow.
Lots more info here.

Imagine if he says "not even one".
That linked person's twitter account is speculating that maybe Sony isn't saying anything in order to not "box themselves in with Neo messaging"...
Any ideas what that would mean?
Would Sony's Neo message be hindered by saying they have the most sales that month in NPD?
Hmm.... Or maybe it's just that they're not getting much milage out of saying they won NPD anymore, so why do it? Certainly they're not getting many headlines anymore from winning since they're expected to win every month, so they're started to refuse to comment now in case there's a month that MS wins to reduce the impact of it?
I'm just not sure why they wouldn't say anything at all. It's weird.

We had multiple reports confirming that the X1 was selling out in several stores, so I'm actually surprised.

That would be something. But "just one" would also be funny...
Maybe they meant bakeries or greengrocers.

1 over, 1 between.
Aggregate too high on all console plats.

And his defense he had multiples reports...
Uncharted did its job, indeed. Wondering how much over 200k for PS4, then.

Thanks... so my prediction is off from start because I did put PS4 below 200k

Based on what exactly?
Less than 213k.
Based on Cosmic hint it sold above 200k, but below 213K

really good for may
better bring that spiderman musou and bring it soon
Yeah, got it after the second reading. Not so much over 200,000, then. Still, it's obvious how Uncharted helped PS4 this month. I wonder how much lower than 139,000 is Xbox One.

No SW over a mil.
Including bundled copies?
KinofChaos

Ah UC never did it, must be over 1 mill with digital though.
...That's surprising. I suppose Uncharted 4 (retail-only) was pretty close, though (900k+).
Incl. U4 bundle?
He said one over, one between with aggregate too high.
That means PS4 a bit over 200k and XB1 less than 140k.
Is uncharted above halo is the real question without bundles

That's a big gap in a slow month. UC4 month though.
Already did horrible but the question is how bad

lol....you know UC4's opening in the US?
Probably the ability for the first time to have utmost sanity in this thread at your fingertips rather than listen to multiple madmen...
