Ten million shipped, and two weeks of a lead. That still isn't really anything to crow about.
may be
Wait...
In some short of amount of time they don't specify, they will cross 10 million consoles sold to retailers. Isn't that pretty obvious, given that the holidays are the biggest time of year by far, and retailers would be stocking up around now? They could even mean that they will cross 10 million sold in december... next month could easily be "shortly," couldn't it?

Alright so close to 10 million shipped, and the top selling current gen console for these past two weeks (ever since the start of November). That's how I read it.
Definitely possible.

Well, if they weren't being sold to Consumers, Retailers wouldn't be buying more of them. One would think that Sold-In becomes Sold-Through after a months time.
Never change.
I'm thinking of getting an Xbox. You seem very passionate recommend me a game to get with it.

That's what I figured too.
Sorry, is Xbox improving in sales supposed to be a bad thing?

This seems like preemptive damage control. Aren't NPDs tomorrow?

Suspicious timing. And wording. Once again.
Still 10 million sold is 10 million sold.

Hell, I bought an XBO and a copy of Halo on Monday night too.

I guess that's good. But if it takes a fire sale to push your product, there be some serious issues. Also not too shocking since its only for the last 2 weeks. MS had MCC and SOD, Sony had a firmware update... Lets see what happens in 6 days when GTA5 and LBP3 are released.

Channel stuffing. MS always does that during the holiday period.

Considering the large gaps some people were estimating, they are pretty damn close all things considered.
But hey, it's a good news Microsoft thread...so let the disingenuous posts continue.

I wouldn't say way better. Both systems best exclusive is a remastering of old games.

Good for them. Competition in the space is great for consumers. I can't believe how badly Sony dropped the ball, this holiday, with exclusives. Even a great LBP3 can't save them against FH2, H:MCC & Sunset Overdrive (all of which I am enjoying currently).

Absolutely they would.
I am almost certain they were outsold in October. It was before the price cut.

It sort of puts the idiotic GAF Sales-Age predictions from just a few weeks back into perspective. GAF has consistently underestimated the system's performance.
(Cue someone saying "Shipped, not sold" as if I don't already know.)

I think the leading in two weeks/one week or whatever refers to actual sales to consumers. The 'almost' 10million is a shipped figure
Probably. The use of "2 weeks" may mean that in the month, they were still outsold. In the other hand, it could also be use as an extra PR hit if they win this month NPD (Sony did the same in April: they day before the NPD numbers, they released a PR statement and still won the NPD the next day)

How are they going to combat that epic GTAV + TLOU bundle for Black Friday?
Their Assassin's Greed bundle will most likely be collecting dust now.

Cool. I suspect they will take November but its all about what amount.
If they only get a lead in November by a hair after the price slashing and bundling they have been doing then its a bit of a sour victory.
They seem to have the most compelling Black Friday deals though. 330 for a console + games is nuts.
Also I guess they know Worldwide is a lost cause because none of these deals are reaching the wider market. If anything I can see a lot of people in EU reading about the $350 XB1 and holding off until that price hits there or they just buy a PS4.

Would be hilarious if they don't win, especially with SCEA not doing shit until BF.
Positive they did. Not surprising.
uuuh, i've seen this one on reddit.
you're supposed to repeat it in all caps.
