But I thought sales don't matter. What matters is MAU. What changed this month?

I miss MAUs. Stupid sales data!
Ps4 is done. It was a good run Sony.

They sold more consoles lol
MAUs wouldn't exist if MS was winning month on month. It is thanks to Sony that MAUs are a thing.

Same, at least for X1.
I figured with S releasing right after July ended, folks would wait until then to get the latest box but I guess the price cutting worked to coax consumers into buying the original model!!
First time in 3rd place without be supply constrained.

The meeting on the 7th of September is to announce their retirement from the hardware industry and the future being PS Now in 720p on Windows 10 PCs. App will be exclusive to the Windows store.

People think the playstation meeting is about the neo, when its really just them announcing their exit from the PS4 console business and going full speed towards PS Now and a Playstation vita revival.
that's incredible
Ss is 100% sodium free.
The best thing about Vita Trinity is that it will allow up to 100 different PSN accounts per console, more MAUs per console is good.

I did not want to hurt your feelings. I am as happy as you that microsoft found the sweet spot in their pricing policy for the Xbox to become the no. 1 home console in July.
Thank you for informing us about your purchase plans.

Welp, so much for the whole "their entire strategy is around MAU and sales don't actually matter" nonsense that went on for months.
I hope Greenberg isn't talking about 7-10k win.
Given MS's PR this gen, would it surprise you if he was? lol

Funny that you mention that...
Same thing that happened last gen when Sony started counting the Playstation Family. They all do this. But who can do it better is the key!
You tease...
Lol fire sale and the gap isn't that big!!!

must be a tiny nose
I'm not jumping to conclusions yet. I'm gonna wait lol
Poor Greenberg, CBOAT was right years later...
It would have been bad if a price cut to 279 and Xbox S hype didn't get MS to number 1 spot.
Unfortunately for them, their timing is that NEO comes out in September with PS4 to get an inevitable price drop.
*edit*
Probably october, but i'm assuming PS4 gets a price drop immediately

At least NPD still tracks hardware by units and not by revenue as they now do with software...
that's shitty
