Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
That new IP thirst. I really wanna try Dying Light.
To be fair, it probably did halt sales for the week!

Living Light
I was expecting drops but the software drop is still a bit more than what I was expecting.
EDIT: Never mind, I can't read.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
The Xbox One no longer being $500 was probably a big part of that.
Price increase to the same price the PS4 is at though.. If all Microsoft is going to get is no.1 at a lower price than that means they lost already. (since they won't take a long term loss just to get no.1 every time)

I'm sure MS doesn't care. January-October don't count anyway right?

Back to the usual.
Honestly, with the Xbone at $50 less and a free game, what is Microsofts next plan of attack?
Because Sony will not have another bad holiday for the PS4 again. 1886 was supposed to be their holiday game, but when that got delayed, they were left with their pants around their ankles. Won't happen in holiday 2015.

isn't or wasn't gta bundled with ps4? would explain lower sales, don't need to buy it if you got it and iirc bundles don't count for the chart ^^

I wonder how long it'll be before MS can take a month again. November with Halo/CoD? Sounds familiar.
Dropped to $350 on January 16

Not sure why the price increase would affect sales really for XB1. It was only 399 for like a week and anyone who didn't want to buy it due to the increase would have just bought it the next week for 349. I don't see where it would cause a real loss of sales.
13 days according to this news story

Yeah, I was taken aback when I saw GTA 5 selling better on Xbone than PS4. Any Theories on this?

The lines between jokes and realty are so thin I have no idea if you are kidding or not. I mean, you must be right?
From Nintendo:
Nintendo games and systems closed 2014 with strong momentum, and that has carried over into 2015. Some Nintendo highlights from the January NPD report include:
· Sales of Wii U hardware and software increased by nearly 30 percent and nearly 45 percent, respectively, over the same month last year.
· Super Smash Bros. for Wii U added more than 90,000 combined physical and digital units to bring its lifetime total to more than 1.4 million total units in the U.S.
· Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire sold more than 150,000 combined physical and digital units, bringing their combined lifetime total to more than 2.7 million total units in the United States alone.
· Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS sold more than 90,000 combined physical and digital units in its fifth month on the market, bringing its lifetime total to more than 2.1 million total units in the United States alone.
On Feb. 13, Nintendo will launch the New Nintendo 3DS XL system with four unique SKUs to choose from. The new system will launch alongside two highly anticipated titles: The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Exactly one month later on March 13, portable gaming fans will be able to play Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
In just a few days on Feb. 20, Wii U fans will get the chance to experience Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. A few months later in May, gamers will get the chance to play one of the more anticipated titles of the year in Splatoon.
*Data regarding physical sales of games are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendos internal sales figures. All numbers, unless otherwise stated, are specific to the United States only.

It was also $349 for the first 3 days of January, people knew the price was going back up beforehand.
Pretty much. And their software lineup reflects it.
No, there hasn't been a PS4 bundle anywhere other than overpriced on Ebay or Amazon since December.

As expected Sony won this month, I'm truly surprised with Dying Light performance though

Happy for Dying Light's success, a better game than it has any right to be and I'd like to see more of its ilk.
