And that's the battle Sony really had/has to win: the battle of mindshare against the Xbox brand, not necessarily the XBO itself.
They seem to be doing a pretty decent job of it so far

The Charts are in!
At first it seems the PS4 won with 13000 consoles sold to Xbox ones 500 and Wii U's 15:
BUT then you realize Xbox one won. Why? Simple, because the Xbox one's
Bases of Installment is HIGHER! Of the 1300 PS4's only 10 are actively using them, for the Wii U's 15, only 3 are playing, but all 500 Xbox ones sold are being played:
See? Bases of Installments or BOI® is the right measure for the winner.

Yeah, he has no track record of being a NPD insider. Then again, he also has no track record of posting/tweeting dumb sales tales from his ass.
I estimated 1,4 million, really surprised it's even more.

It's like we are channeling ghost ZhugeEX. He is not here and here at the same time.

Yeah, in general huge Black Friday/holiday deals are a recent phenomenon, which are the primary reason why console sales have become more concentrated in these months. I'd imagine video games aren't the only thing that this has happened to over the years.

Oh god.
The only reason I could see them not keeping this price definite is it maybe would be tough to keep up with demand?

That thinking needs to go away. People are not buying PS4's or Xbones en mass to play exclusive titles.
I think the PS4's LTD is around 11million while the Xbox one's ltd is between 9.5-10.3million.

Tbf I think he referring to the games line-up. IIRC he has maintained that the PS4 doesn't need the exclusives.

FakeKaz is the best
I'm sure that as he's gained some fame in this area, he would be able to find someone willing to share the info. Gives a leaker someone else's face to put behind the leaks.

Amazing result for Sony! What an increase over the last November!
This is what is blowing my mind. It is even better than PS4 launch month, or even weirder, better than any PS2 november.
Wowza.

No doubt. They aligned themselves very well. and for this month I see the SW bundle doing amazing numbers honestly. $299 for two weeks and it coincides with the movie release.

No problem!
Doesn't he work in the telecommunications industry so he has some degree of insider information? He doesn't pull numbers from his ass, and always used to write detailed threads with a crap tonne of charts. They were great.
Just in case people can't access Twitter from work:
haha, i'm so screwed with my predictions
Deals were just as good
And halo came out the month before so I think they had a higher than normal October

So, the last official sales number for PS4 was 30.20 million sold. With the 1.5 million in November (if the number is accurate), PS4 has passed Sega Genesis' 30.75 million consoles sold. However, not knowing when the 30.20 million sold milestone was reached, it's possible that PS4 has also passed Nintendo 64's 32.93 million consoles sold. After that, Super Nintendo is next with 49.10 million consoles sold, which could take months, though with Uncharted 4 coming in March, perhaps sooner.
That's for december

FakeKaz is not the executive the game industry wants right now... it's the one the industry needs.

1.5M? HOLY SHIT
Or perhaps they want to string MS along for as long as possible, otherwise MS will prematurely end the generation and launch the XB2.
But maybe that's conspiracy territory :3
Lol, truth.

I've been saying that ever since the start of this gen. How can people keep saying this when it's never been true so far with the XB1 and PS4? Do people need a decade of evidence before they change their minds?
