And the only reason MS had won the past 3 months was because they released a new console. Funny how that works.
There was already PR from Sony when they announced 50 million sold and their biggest Black Friday weekend ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if its down YoY but i think microsoft would be more worried about the black friday results in the UK. I still can't believe it was 30% down year on year
Oh come on. You don't really believe that, do you?

On the flip side, if there was no Pro I'm not sure MS would have won all those previous months. I suspect a lot of people were holding out for the Pro in November
It's hard to do what ifs like these though because there are so many variables at play
MS will have a challenging 2017, somewhat sparse release lineup and might have some people start to wait on hardware until Scorpio. If they can keep up the momentum they had this fall that will be extremely respectable

Last year Sony only said that they had the best selling BF ever but nothing about a yoy increase IIRC.

NPD itself provided a huge amount of info last year. Let's wait for numbers at least.
You're gonna have to wait another month.
November sales have been getting more and more centralized around BF/CM, so having a record on that specific weekend does not say anything for the month as a whole.
This is true, but after a few/many months of YoY decline, you'd think a YoY increase would be a big highlight.
That'll be in December NPD

I don't think PS4 beat them by close to 300k this month.

But... Knack 2 was announced this month. Are you saying Knack 2 traveled back in time?

Congrats Sony, They must have had a massive Q3 so far. They have nailed everything from the PS4 announcement leading to PRO timing and price plus everything in between. Genius business plan.
and god have mercy upon us with their upcoming 1st party titles.

Actually, people were just waiting for the Pro to launch before buying a PS4...XB1 just outsells ps4 when ppl already have a ps4 actually...

Looks like Sony confirmed the W with IGN but no press release statement?

Fucking lol.
Now they are just including the Playstation in their PR.

I don't get the reference.
lol, you mean like the Xbox One S months coinciding with Xbox selling the most that month?
Slim likely sold 10:1 over the Pro.
As other have confirmed before me, Knack 2 transcends time and space. Tis known.

So if Sony had released the Pro when it was announced, MS might've never won these last few months. The thirst for Pro is real.

The UK usually mirrors the US on this stuff so yeah it will most likely be that split
It's when Simba was running back to the Pride Lands to reclaim the throne
Gonna go with down YoY, then.
If nothing gets delayed. Sony is going to have a nice first 4 months of the year. If Horizon makes it's release date I could see that being HUGE for Sony. You know they are going to go all out for that game. It just needs to review well.
Not to mention. Pro could potentially be $300 and the Slim could be $200 next Holiday when the Scorpio releases. With Bundles and marketing deals for Batllefront 2, Destiny 2 AND RDR2. Sony has the chance to really crush next year.
