I figured Sony would have made a statement by now if that were true but there is still time for that. Or maybe Sony doesn't feel the need to comment on it. It could also be false info lol. Who knows.
They could be waiting to give numbers at PSX.

Ah, forgot about Cyber Monday. Yeah, they'll want those extra sales too.Sony will probably release a PS4 sales update later this week and it will include Cyber Monday since their November promotions end today.

This is possible as well.They could be waiting to give numbers at PSX.

How does this 50k gap between PS4 and xbone compare to the last say 8 weeks?

Xbox One: ~24k
PS4: ~21k
Week 2
PS4: ~65k
Xbox One: ~45k
Week 3

Xbox One: ???
Week 4
PS4: 142,578
Xbox One: 92,578
Total

Crazy to think that people would go with the cheaper option, on Black Friday week of all days.
The things you learn. Pretty sure they were giving away PS4's with Happy Meals at the weekend . . . .*
*Thats how you do sarky, right?
It is a possibility but I don't remember the last time Sony explicitly talked about sales on stage like that. Maybe it could just be casually thrown into the mix like, "we're proud to have over 50M of you PS4 owners with us as we go into the Christmas holiday".We're only a few days from PSX. I wouldn't be surprised it it was held for the stage presentation.

Wait we have week 1 and 2 numbers?
I kinda wasn't getting that attitude tbh.But the tides turned and the slim needed saving, yep

Deals for all models just like ps4.Is that what happened? Were the deals on the OG X1? Even considering that though...that ~30% drop doesn't make sense to me.

Biggest week since launch week wow, hope it leads to good software sales for both consoles.
Right, but I was thinking they would make exceptions for moments like these. But yeah, it may still come within the week.Sony won the majority of NPDs this year in the US but they stopped giving press releases about being the best selling console of the month. I don't find it weird at all but they may have a small statement soon.
I see.Deals for all models just like ps4.
You didn't check every ps4 sales related thread in the last two months then, there was even a big one about how could sony save the irrelevant slim
Lmaowhere's knack?
At PSX!where's knack?
I probably didn't express myself correctly. By "not getting" I meant "did not understand".You didn't check every ps4 sales related thread in the last two months then, there was even a big one about how could sony save the irrelevant slim
I probably didn't express myself correctly. By "not getting" I meant "did not understand".
But yeah I definitely saw the "PS4 is Doomed" attitude in the past 4 months of NPD threads, in spite of well documented factors about sales.
Sweden numbers from my retail chain:
We sold Xbones for $170 with Alan Wake and Quantum Break and Xbox One S with Fifa and either Gears 4 or Forza Horizon 3 for $190.
Ps4 had the slim at $230 and Pro at $390, no games included. Ps4 still outsold the Xbox.

You have to add Pro in the math... of course without it PS4 couldn't reach 142k.142k is still good for the PS4. 92k for Xbox though is weird. Were deals worse than last year or did PS4 have the better deals?

And PS4 had better deals in UK.

That's not how I'd characterize the trend. Pro (and deals) helped PS4 edge out its sales from last year. The big gap is almost completely due to Xbox One falling dramatically YOY. If I had to guess, this is partially due to new Gears not being as big an incentive to jump in as new Halo. (Maybe due to release order, just as much as intrinsic value of the brands.)I know Pro helped the PS4 hit 142k but unless Pro did close to 50k, PS4 pulled ahead of the XB1S by a lot.

It is actually lower than last year if I'm not wrong.I'm always amazed at how many units are shifted each week. Crazy numbers no matter the console.

Who knows, really too early to say if they're just replacements for existing owners but it does show favor to PS4 in UK. I'd say it's probably because of people looking at the upcoming software starting January. PS4 has tons of niche and bigger exclusives from January to April whereas Xbox once again has nothing slated early next year.I think we've already had some UK people post that the deals were pretty much the same. But that's in PS4's favor because when they've had price parity, people have generally found the PS4 to be the better value.
That 33% drop is pretty damn big though. I wonder if it might indicate that the S is essentially selling as a replacement for existing Xbox owners and not that much to new customers and now that threshold has been met and the few months of boosts is now gone.

I want to know how much UC4 sold at this point.
Right, the PS4 couldn't have taken that much away from Xbox. This says more about the Xbox itself. I just don't know how it could be explained.That's not how I'd characterize the trend.

Yeah, might come as a blog post on the PS Blog or part of the DLC blog post.Last hope is the DLC announcement press release.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Codemasters buy all of Evolution studios? As in, they're still whole and functional right?Come on Sony. Pay the remnants of Evolution and give us a Pro version.
That Xbox One number isn't great to be honest.
