Sale-GAF is coming to terms with the fact that sales numbers don't really matter.
It's all about them sweet MAUs.

Consoles are dad and it's all about that sweet, sweet monthly payment services. The consoles themselves are merely the relic vehicles to reach the Olympic Halls of the MAUs.

Reeks of MAU.
My payment information may have been etched on the sacred tablet of subscription.

That likely means the November results are now final, but I don't really see any movement worth mentioning there.
This is why the Clippers stink right now. The MAU god smites the nonbelievers.

Star Wars Battlefront has a new playable classic character, exclusive for XboxOne.

Keep in mind a few days prior to black friday sony dropped the 30.2 million sold thru bomb.... that may have definitely taken the wind out of any further announcements from Microsoft and Sony

Hope the new format is right:
{3DS} +11000MAU
{PS4} +18000MAU
{WIU} +13000MAU
{XB1} +200000MAU
Nice try, but no cigar, PS4.

Jesus Christ that's insane
And the craziest thing about it is that it's still #1, even at $349, even if Sony announced that in 4 days the bundle will be at $299. Why the fuck is it still #1 ?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Sony announced something like 33 or 34 million sold at PSX.

I think your XB1 figure is a tad low. Were you taking into account Xbox Silver, Office and Skype MAUs?
That's what I thought...

Bollocks... back to the drawing board.

The Battlefront bundle has moved up from the 19-20 range to 15ish.
It is making me wonder if the Uncharted bundle will outpace the SWBF bundle on the 6th and onward. Either way, it won't be moving from that top 3 position this month.

You people have gone off the deep end. Seek help. And no, not from the Church of MAU
This is what happens when we lose Aqua and now Zhuge. And graphs.
What did Zhuge even do to get banned?

I was sure that with the December price drop announced the bundle would go down in sales, specially after the $299 BF period.
Maybe the MAU god favors the PS4 after all, blessed may we be in thy Digital Embrace and suck at your subscription teats forever be, Virtual Amen...

It is now 6:14pm eastern and the MK8 WiiU bundle is still outselling the Xbox One on Amazon since my last post. It seems consumers arent buying the MAU hype.

If you guys are even suggesting that Wii U is in any capacity outselling anything I'm not sure really what to tell you.........

Fair call, I'm referring to Xbone. I mean people, pls
The WiiU is going to do better than usual this month but the xbox one will sell anywhere from 2X-5X more than it.The only thing it may be competitive with is the 3ds, but that's unlikely.
I don't know if you talk about me, but if so, i just posted the Amazon weekly sales.
XB1 will outsell Wii U by a huge margin both month, expecially November should be over 3:1.

You guys are missing the bigger picture with MAU's. It's all there. Just join the dots.
Microsoft recently stating that they are using MAU as a measure for Xbox success.
Activision recently buys King stating "that the combined company would have more than 500 million monthly active users across the world"
Ergo: Activision to buy Xbox.
