Who cares what console sells more? Really? This argument? FFS
I agree with the man.

Incorrect.Wow some people are really in denial that other people might like the Xbox One's lineup better than the PS4's huh?
Why would you come into a sales thread and say, "why does it matter who sold more!?"I agree with the man.
Pretty sure it would have sold more on a PS console. even if the PS4 and XBO had the same instell base. I think PS players are more open to new IP's that aren't fucking shooters. Maybe I say this cause I'm a european though...
360 being above WiiU is the bigger deal in my opinion
I hope it's true. MS deserves success considering how aggressive they've been both in terms of pricing and funding 3rd party console exclusives (Sunset, Dead Rising, Titanfall, RYse...).
Sony had a lousy end of the year, with one sub-par driving game and yet another LBP that doesn't bring much new to the table.
We need some good competition in this race to force both parties to bring their A game.
I have a console that isn't as good as another, but it sells when it's cheap and has a heap of free games. That means I have the best console...
It's undeniable that Sunset Overdrive is one of the best games released this Autumn/Winter. Both in terms of gameplay and for the simple fact that it shipped with the least number of technical issues.
The fact that sales don't reflect this is yet further evidence that the market at large isn't open to new experiences that put fun gameplay ahead of serious/grim dark storytelling.
Sunset Overdrive will eventually be known as this generation's Dragons Dogma. An exceptional game that the market simply wasn't ready for and one that people continually beg Insomniac/MS for a sequel.
As expected. Hopefully Nintendo takes notice and gives the Wii U a massive price cut. In time for Zelda, preferably
Not ready for.... Err
It just rehashed all their best old ideas into one enjoyable experience that all involved collecting something and bringing it back outside of a few missions. Bit hard to not be ready for stuff we've all played before.

Incorrect.
And now you are falsely believing that the Xbox game lineup was the primary driver of this sales spike. It was a 70 dollar price cut that included two free games with more additional deals after that.

NPD thread would be absolutely glorious if PS4 wins.
god people get pretty angry for any article where MS sells more than the PS4. Jesus christ. If you dont own the console then what is it to you? Who cares what sells more it really wont effect too much - particularly since this is just one day out of the year?
It will be glorious either way I'm sure.

What a load of inflammatory nonsense.Considering Sony's exclusive offerings have been nothing but disappointing so far, they really don't have much else going for them to convince themselves that they chose the "right" platform. It also doesn't help the fact that the graphical difference between the 2 platforms hasn't been as big as they hoped.
Me? I'm just enjoying the ride and will be picking up PS4 later when it obtains worthy exclusive titles that I'm interested in.
If Microsoft can maintain this market share until then, it could make a dent in Sony overall market share.
That records purchase receipts . There's a reason the firm is in business. They're not pulling these numbers from thin air.
If they didn't win at almost $100 less then I'd say they were complete failures tbh
The king that never won a generation? Xbox is Viserys Targaryen CONFIRMED.
#Firstworldproblems... Yeah me either lol. I see these threads, skim, see all the hate being passed around, sigh, then leave. Today I commented tho just to change things up.I hate these threads, but dammit i can't not look at them!
Also lol. More options for "gamers" is always a good thing.Ugh if they take a lead anywhere gamers have lost.
You don't represent all gamers. Don't say that.Ugh if they take a lead anywhere gamers have lost.
I'm not surprised. In US and UK the Xbone has been outselling for quite a few weeks now. It's an interesting comeback that I thought might happen due to the brand strength. People are upgrading their 360s and of course they go for the same brand. The price cuts and exclusives as well all make the xbone a good sell this holiday for the bigger market that don't know of all it's initial foibles.
I cut Sony some slack as the first year of a console is typically dry and certainly next year is looking insane for them. But MS did actually deliver quite a few games in the first year, well done to them for beating that first year drought.
I think MS is going to outsell for the rest of this year, they may even take lead in the US\UK. Brand strength, aggressive bundles and more games a good console sale make.
It's an astonishing comeback, humbling even.

Oh fuck off with that nonsense.Ugh if they take a lead anywhere gamers have lost.
World wide PS3 does sell well. The US isn't the whole world!True and it's pretty remarkable that the 360 keeps trucking. I know PS4 has done great but I bet Sony wishes the PS3 was still selling like the 360 does.
Yes, clearly the Playstation crowd is the refined collector who dabbles in everything and is willing to wet their feet a bit, while the Xbox gamer is a thug who only wishes to shoot and maim things.
There is not a single chance of them taking the lead in the US and the UK by the end of 2014.
They're about 1.5m units behind combined, possibly 1.7m.
Who the hell still buys last gen consoles? Some kid opening up a brand spanking new console on Christmas morning.
"Wow! Thanks for the Xbox...360??!??"
Debatable. It was the cheapest deal but given an extra £20 got you both LittleBigPlanet 3 and The Last of Us remastered, I'd say there's certainly more value there.
Whereas the XBOX One got you the console, Assassins Creed: Black Flag, Assassins Creed: Unity, Forza 5 and LEGO Marvel is far more value than any PlayStation deal offered.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a PlayStation owner myself, I've never cared for XBOX and don't really have interest in it, but I was a parent looking to buy my children a games console and looked to spend £300, then there's definitely more value and substance in the XBOX One deal than the PlayStation deals.
1 million lead gone less than a month.
Well done MS
