Maybe if we take out like... 6 multiplatform games Halo 5 makes the top 10?
That could explain it.

Yeah. On home consoles can't think anything else than Lost Odyssey (203k February 2008). Sure there are probably few others but not many like you said.
It's ~1.38m for XBO according to CosmicQueso.

Someone give me the exact quote again. I'm worried if I look at it directly I might become dumber.

Ah yeah forgot Battlefield 5. Titanfall 2 is sometime 2016 as well I believe
Well, that's interesting
"Xbox One is the best selling console worldwide when only accounting for Microsoft consoles."
200k is great for XCX on the Wii U. Nintendo has had a pretty good track record with JRPGs in recent years though. They launched Fire Emblem Awakening and Bravely Default to higher than typical numbers as well. I'm expecting Fire Emblem Fates to hit at least 200k in Feb.
Will the Xbone have a shot at winning another holiday season this gen? 2015 seemed like strong year for them to do so, but couldn't. This year looks like a long shot for MS considering Sony's line-up.
Wonder if they lost their chance to retake the US for the remainder of this generation.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Previous Madden has to be up there.
Oh!
My interpretation:
The only place to play the top 10 best selling games released in 2015.
Technically, we can remove GTA, Minecraft and call of Duty.
If removing those, two third party games creep in and halo 5 comes in at 10, their quote is right.
...right?

Whole season is likely out the window but they can still win individual months. They may win Gears 4 month for example

Do you have a list? Who are the new publishers?
Battlefield 5 for a big margin.

Again, you could remove those three and more titles, released outside of 2015, could also creep in. That's the brilliance of it.
Fallout 4 pumped a decent share of hype into this November as well thanks to it's announcement being fairly close to its release.
Maybe Mass Effect could match that hype with a good E3 showing?
Around 1.3m, more than double the gap in January 2015.
Sony had a perfect execution during the holiday season with marketing, pricing strategy, bundles. They basically made their lack of first party games in Q4 a meaningless factor.
Microsoft tried to be more conservative with their deals (although in the end they outdid Sony's promotions anyway so we can't exactly say that they went for profits) probably hoping that their exclusives like Halo 5 would bring in more customers, but relatively to the PS4 they have certainly lost.
Exactly!
That's why I said we might have to remove something like 6 titles before getting there

Shouldn't there be a "US" in there somewhere?
Gears should definitely be above 1.5m or so but how much above that I am not sure. We just don't know the baseline when you take titles out of the Top 10.
If I was given a choice between 1.38m and 1.43m with XB1 being ~1.3-1.35m, I'd choose 1.38m, too! Doesn't mean 1.38m is correct, though. Gotta look at what he was responding to, too.

Ok fair enough. It's just something I'm seeing pop up a lot recently and it drives me crazy. Like the fanbase wants to paint a picture that the game is this flawless masterpiece that is only selling less because of the issues with ya predecessors. It's just not true. So when I saw you were staying it again I jumped on it. Obviously the aforementioned damage plays a role and I would never argue otherwise I just think it's own issues are also a very large part of the problem. I feel like if 343 had truly delivered a masterpiece we would have seen a big resurgence for Halo but that obviously didn't happen.

This is taking all my many years of corporate BS to the extreme. Let's parse!
- Top 10 best-selling titles of the generation - Okay, so PS4, Xone, and for kicks Wii U.
- Launched in 2015 - That means we can remove sales of GTA, for example, for all platforms that didn't launch in 2015.
Alright.
So...
Hot damn. The math checks out. Jesus Keeeerist MS.
HOLY SHIT! MS PR is even more brilliant then I though.
Mind=blown
Just read the page we are on.

I can't find any MS statements. Did they even bother releasing one?

Is my prediction that Xenoblade has outsold both Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis correct I wonder?
Also how do you produce only 4K copies of a title? Limited print runs are higher than that. With it selling out in days you would think they would know demand would easily accommodate 10k?
Oh well I have a copy and it's janky stupid fun.
Yeah, that's what I think.
It is the best Halo mp has been since 2. That is a cold hard fact. Like ketchup is good on everything and cats are better than dogs.
There is a pr spin if you look hard enough

According to Cosmic, XB1 is under 5m YTD, but over 4.95m. So, this mean 1.43m > XB1 > 1.38m.
Ass whooping.
I dunno about halo, but both statements are wrong.
It's the monthly. Everyone assumed MS was talking about the yearly sales ranking, but it was the December NPD.
Evil genius.
Edit: was it? Cosmic removed the ranking list from his post.
