"We lost by a little less this month!" Is all it amounts to.

Hence why you are about to see a permanent drop to $250 for the slim IMO

How is it possible this many (and more) people think Microsoft actually mentioned the PS4 in their PR?
That's just...whoa.
I definitely expect it by E3. Though I also expect Microsoft to do the same.

"The gap is still growing, but it grew by less this month than the same time last year!"
For them it's good to have YOY growth. People probably see the One S as an attractive product.
But yea it's still not enough to overtake the PS4.
On another note I'd assume Feb will be good for the PS4 as well. Horizon coming out at the end of the month and starting Sunday offering the Slim PS4 for $250 for two weeks should spur sales.
So, not the best Slim model for sure. But it's super slim, what is nice.
That was due to a more efficient chip manufacturing process, not a total redesign.

I don't think we will ever see the Slim go back to $299 except for maybe a month.
I think this "Temporary" price cut for the Slim we are seeing in February is basically the exact same strategy MS took last year with the Xbox One price cut.
But we'll see.

Plays most multiplat games better than other consoles not called ps4.
it was worded to be clickbait and people don't think critically about what they read
Yeah but tracking down a jasper model based on sku/serial number was a real pain. 360S eliminated the need to worry about that.
loool Official GAF meme, confirmed

I'm aware of how it was worded. My first post intimated as much.
But man, seeing such a huuuuge number of posters actually think they mentioned the PS4 in their PR is staggering.

You can't add anything to PERFECTION.
PS2 library
PS1 BC
DVD Player
CD Player
Ethernet port
Extremely slim design (best ever)
What more you ask for in 2003?
The One S isn't even that Slim though... The thing was fucking massive and they got it down to what it should have been in the first place. The PS2 Slim was actually a massive reduction in size AND it added functionality that previously required an add-on.
Your argument...
"Continues to deliver growth (in US). Therefore best model of all time."
As far as features are concerned, the size reduction alone makes PS2 slim engineering marvel.

So many people triggered by that Gamespot add on to the MS PR, lol.

Quoted so people can stop repeating this nonsense of Microsoft mentioning PS4 in their PR Statement.

Yup. So many eager for console wars to be real...
Can only go by what the source in the OP says. If you've got a better source stating something else feel free to post it.
I asked NEW features, not what OG PS2 does too.
I liked PS2 Slim, but I don't consider a better Slim than Xbox One S.
Yeah, but Xbox One S has more new features, so I consider a better new model, that's all.
why do you consider the XBOS the best slim of all time?

Well, my brain is a start.
These companies NEVER directly mention their direct competition in sales PR, let alone in a month where they've "lost".
It was pretty clear Gamespot intentionally worded it in a troll bait fashion.
But you know, you could have also read the PR yourself? But then where would the console War fuel come from if people read the PR?
Maybe for feature set? In terms of actually being a slim console I wouldn't agree. PSTwo or even Psone is better.
yes

Lol I barely even pay attention to their PR but good point. If this wasn't the case itd be a huge disaster... Imagine if less people were playing as you sold more and more ? Yuck
Because Xbox One is very big, so the small size of the S has a great appeal, because they added UHD Blu-Ray Player, because does upscale to 4K, adds HDR support and finally improves the frame rate of some games.
It's a great slim model, if wasn't for Scorpio I would replace my unit for sure.

Yeah, it is impossible to know if they are trying a subtle dig at either of the two even headed contestants... were they talking about the Wii U perhaps
?Gravity Rush 2 among the four?
Also, RE7 better be first place!
Please :/
Anyway, as usual, can't wait for the numbers. I predicted a 20K gap.

..."was the only eightth gen console that saw growth " is not straight from ms ? Because this is mentioning the competition directly whether it says ps4 or not. Who else would they be referencing, Sega ?

Interesting so that means 1 game in the Top 5 wasn't on the platform at all.
What exclusive game could have charted Top 5?
Pokémon
Are you sure that's what they meant and not 4 out of the Top 5 individual SKUs?
I guess Pokemon Sun/Moon would be the most likely choice though?
