Then explain them, please. I'd love to hear it.
It's the month after holidays, so I guess less people are willing to spend money in January? I don't know.

PS4 has almost sold double the Xbox One. It's only the US where it's holding on, and we don't know how much supply issues are contributing to that
Yes, the USA is the only country in the world

Just how well do you think the 360 version is going to sell? Nothing is selling well on PS360 at the moment.

Ps4 is at more than 6 M worldwide. Lol
Just want Vita numbers. Please don't be under 15k...
Yeah, those cats that thought that thing would happen that did happen must feel positively foolish now that the thing they thought would happen has happened!

Xbox One will win March. I just can't see it going to PS4.
Well worldwide, the PS4 will have "a big lead".
The industry for the most part has written off of Jan. For better or worse, its a 11 month season for the video game industry.
Do you mean worldwide or just America where NPD is based?

Unintentional consequence of banking so much on one game-- Offer early access and people planning to buy mostly for it will jump in early. I'd venture the "Titanfall boost" (if there can be proven to be one) will be spread across Feb and March. More specifically Feb 11th to March 11th (Beta start to retail release). It'll be silly if we end up seeing a 2 month half-bump in XBO sales where they can't beat the PS4 in either of the months whereas they could easily win the "11th to 11th" month. It would kind of sting to not get even one month of PR bragging.
Isnt the difference roughly 6 and 4 million. That's not almost double.
At this point, if Nintendo is localizing DQVII, there's only one month for the release: February. In 2012, Tales of thr Abyss didn't debut badly; in 2013, FE happened + Etrian Odyssey selling 15k in 5 days, which was great for the kind of title it is; in 2014, BD almost debuts as much as KH3D and better than Fire Emblem.
February sounds like a good month for Japanese content...

It's not like their Xbox One will disappear once the month ends. If someone was looking forward to buying Titanfall anyway, I could see them buying an Xbox to get into the beta.
It's too bad they didn't wait a few weeks for a $60 price drop, though. That must have hurt.
If you are waiting for Titanfall to spend 500$ and you have a open beta a month before, yes, you can buy the system a month before your original plan.
If Amazon is any indication, the PS4's supply situation has improved, so we'll see.

6M vs 3.6M
shark sandwich
tenuously links anime, pedophile and incels
The data is in. Sales growth is directly proportional to the number of chapters.
Bravely Default 2 to have 64 chapters confirmed!
(j/k I love the game but Jesus H Christ does it go on for too long.)
So can it be said that every platform holder did pretty well last month? Because I think that's a reason for celebration.
People are going to assign some epic Microsoft vs. Sony battle in March NPDs what with Titanfall and Infamous dropping, but the better takeaway is that it should be another consecutive month of good sales after this one.

Whereas I agree with you I also accept that this is what I'll get. And honestly? It's awesome.
Anyway, we have all sort of reps visiting us here, latest one was Atlus who stabbed my heart with a funny joke, so to the question, do we have any SE reps that actually gives any form of input? Or are they as horrible as on PS Blog?
What was XIII-2's first month?
Considering:
DK did 130k combined physical+digital and was the 4th best single SKU for the month.
GTA released on the same number of platforms and sold more for the month.
If we pretend that DK did all of it's sales at retail, the best XIII-3 could have done is <260k. Which, while not unsurprising, still sounds bad for a FF title.
I thought the 3.6 was before the numbers in this NPD? My mistake of that is incorrect.
I don't think it's wise to be selective with your context. The 360 had around 15 million advantage over the PS3 in the US. The PS4 is still having stock problems in the US, especially last month. Oh, and for the second quote, I'm assuming you mean the US? Not worldwide, right?
True. I don't remember what the last major January release was.

So I think it's a given that xbone will win March NPD and maybe April, with things returning to the status quo by May.
lol.
US and UK are the only territories where it's close. Xbone is getting obliterated by the PS4 in Europe and the rest of the globe.

Nice numbers all around

Well, it does have kind of a big lead. They are over 6 million units now. Don't think Xbox One has hit 4 yet. And the lead is only growing so...
pretty done

Sony should follow suit and localize Type-0 PS4.
yea right, think of all the indies they could bring over instead with that money 
No it's not silly. It's just that everyone lives on planet Earth while you seem to live on planet USA.
EDIT: Just saw your response. Then your original post was a complete strawman, because virtually nobody was expecting the PS4 to have a big lead in the US.

do the majority of stores not have 30day return policies like they do up here? seems pretty simple to return the console and get the bundle.

Well, if you mean TitanFall XBO vs. InFamous PS4, I agree. I have no doubt InFamous will sell more in that case. But TitanFall's also on two other platforms. I think by that virtue alone it'll outsell InFamous when taking all 3 platforms into account.
But if it doesn't actually happen like that, it'll probably be a day of reckoning.
It's like it is 2007 all over again.
if it was 2007 it would have been 300 to 125 .. these are actually close numbers.

eh
Amazon indicated a PS4 blowout like January, but Xbox One made up tons of ground
so if they're neck and neck on Amazon....yeah
Yea no chance for ps4 to win March. Titanfall will sell more systems than Second Son. (with a 2 week headstart to boot).
Pretty solid month for MS.
