Yes I like the wording. Besides they combined US and UK. I'm guessing that lead isn't over 200k like some people predicted.

How can you grasp whether it is or isn't based on that PR anyway??? Silly thing to come out with. Still have no idea how PS4 has done. (Or even XB1 ...)

 

[Chobel]

Where are the software charts?

 

[OnionPowder]

How much longer until we get the info? We're 2 minutes past now

 

[Anth0ny]

damn

SHIT SON

 

[bananafactory]

So if that MS PR wording is real, what does this mean

Xbox One was the best-selling console in the US and UK

Combine countries it was best selling? Is it possible it outsold PS4 in US and didn't outsell it in UK, but the gap in the US was big enough they can include both?

 

[Atlas157]

I sold my Wii U the second I bought it because I can't stand consoles that don't sell.

I feel bad for Vita owners.

 

[Conduit]

Xbone wins by a small margin

then NPD thread gonna explode

 

[Mr Moose]

PS4 lost against Xbox One AND fresh food? Pack it up, Sony. It's over.

 

[Kolma]

So it's 2 minutes past.
Where are the numbers?

 

[RowdyReverb]

Stating facts are salt now?

Context is everything. It's not that you posted a fact, it's that you posted it here and now.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

I sold my Wii U the second I bought it because I can't stand consoles that don't sell.

Keep buying Wii U's and keep selling them until you eventually reach the point where the Wii U is the number one seller, then you won't have to feel bad.

 

[Mrbob]

How much longer until we get the info? We're 2 minutes past now

We don't. This is how GAF dies.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Congrats to MS, It only took 2 price drops, free games and Black Friday deals to beat Sony, job well done I guess...

So Sony didn't have any Black Friday deals that were just as competitive as those put out by MS?

 

[RedAssedApe]

was hoping for return of the king pr

but all we got was that boring ms one

 

[Cidd]

Salt is starting to flow.

Salty?, I bought one on Black friday why would I be salty?

So stating the truth is being "Salty" now?

 

[Dead Prince]

Beat Sony in UK but not US?

sure why not. i need some confirmation so i can go to sleep tonight.

 

[TomShoe]

*One price drop.

The Kinect SKU was $450 instead of the $500 at launch. Kinectless was $350 ($50 drop). Also, didn't Sony have free game bundles/Black Friday deals too?

*Three

Launch: $500
Remove Kinect: $400
Black Friday Bundle: $350
Retailer Discount $330

 

[vpance]

Combined countries is suspicious. Will wait for the fine print.

 

[Rymuth]

I keep refreshing the page lol

Same here.

Curious, though, I remember Geoff Keighley breaking out the news the last two months (IRCC) -- he's strangely silent. Taking a break after the VGAs?

 

[BeforeU]

Congrats to MS, It only took 2 price drops, free games and Black Friday deals to beat Sony, job well done I guess...

There it is. Too salty. I called it. Yes yes yes I love it. More salty post people, i want good laugh tonight.

 

[bananafactory]

@ProSoloGamer77 3m3 minutes ago

[JackLongRod]

[travisbickle]

No.

Stop. If this is true then I will be laughing and reading the entire thread tonight.

It's not like he's wrong though

 

[Kacho]

Hahaha

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Awwww yiiiiiiis it begins.


Seriously gonna go make some popcorn right now.

 

[John Bender]

So Sony didn't have any Black Friday deals that were just as competitive as those put out by MS?

With a $329 price tag?
No!

 

[indigo-cyclops]

God dammit. How am I supposed to enjoy my PS4 now?

Exactly, I'm in tatters knowing another console is selling!

In the meantime, I've got two down, one to go (Xbox). Someday I will probably pick it up but I can't be a big spender every month!

 

[SFenton]

I feel bad for Vita owners.

Ironically, I am one. Haven't sold it yet. Maybe these games things are worth playing on these shitty selling systems after all!

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Response to the holiday lineup of games on Xbox One was incredible

Let's be honest, most of the XBox One lineup was free in November as long as you bought the console, so yeah, I would imagine they moved a ton of games.

Yeah thats some crazy PR talk.

 

[Nirolak]

Um, is the chart coming?

 

[De_Legend]

They won a month, pack it up!

By how much though, should be funny.

There it is. Too salty. I called it. Yes yes yes I love it. More salty post people, i want good laugh tonight.

I got the popcorn ready.

 

[Deadly Joker]

The "best month ever" bit could be worldwide too. Or comboing UK.

So they may be mixing their datapoints somewhat to get there.

That was my first thought as well.

Ninty PR:

Dec. 11, 2014

Overall sales of Nintendo 3DS software in November increased by more than 40 percent over the same month in 2013, thanks in part to three huge games:

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The next great Pokémon adventures for Nintendo 3DS launched on Nov. 21 and have already sold nearly 1.5 million combined physical and digital units in the U.S. alone.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS: The best-selling individual portable game in the U.S. so far in 2014, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has sold more than 1.5 million physical and digital units in the U.S. since it launched on Oct. 3.
November was also a strong month for Nintendo on the console side, as sales of Wii U hardware and software increased by more than 10 percent and more than 90 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013. In fact, the week of Nov. 23 was the biggest single week of Wii U hardware sales since the system launched in November 2012. Other Wii U highlights for the month include:

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has sold nearly 710,000 combined units since launching on Nov. 21. With a current Metacritic score of 92, the latest iteration in Nintendo’s venerable fighting franchise is one of the best-reviewed games in the current generation of systems.
Nov. 21 also saw the arrival of amiibo, Nintendo’s new platform where gaming’s most recognizable characters can be used in different ways in many compatible games. Sales of amiibo are approximately equal to sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U so far, while Link, Mario and Pikachu (in that order) have been the best-selling figures to date.

I think that is seperate and not combined as a week/two ago they were best selling console for 3 weeks in a row in the UK (maybe exteneded now).

 

[Carl]

Correct.

i am sorry but i am sure going by the deals you can see which one was desperate for more sales. a year ago xbox one could have only been purchased for 499 and this year you could get one for 329 with 2 games and 50 card so that is half the price for an xbox one if you remove the games. i mean great for consumers but they were throwing everything and the kitchen sink to win these two months

“We are committed to making Xbox the best place to play, with this year’s best games, the best community of gamers to play with, and terrific value. And we are amazed by the excitement Xbox fans have shown to start off this holiday. November set a new record for sales of Xbox One, and Xbox One was the best-selling console in the US and UK.* Response to the holiday lineup of games on Xbox One was incredible, with Xbox One fans buying more games in November in the U.S. than any other gen eight platform and enjoying over 357 million hours of gameplay globally. In fact, more fans logged into Xbox Live across Xbox One and Xbox 360, and enjoyed more entertainment, than any other month in the history of Xbox. We love to see the excitement from our fans and are grateful for their passion, support and contributions to the Xbox community.” – Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing.

whats the asterisk

*during the week of Black Friday

With MS's comma shenanigans, I imagine it's something like that.

 

[Kuro]

So Sony didn't have any Black Friday deals that were just as competitive as those put out by MS?

Not even close. MS had the 2 game $329 bundle for the entire month while Sony only introduced the $499 remaster bundle for BF

 

[RibMan]

Congrats to MS, It only took 2 price drops, free games and Black Friday deals to beat Sony, job well done I guess...

Necessary marketing adjustments. All companies - be it Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo - that have/have had a failing product will need to adjust to the market.

If the market says "We're not going to buy your product", then it's your responsibility as a business to do anything and everything that can change the market in your favor.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

No.

Right. I'm sure that's true.
