What's the sales difference between XBO and PS4 in NA?
You'll need to explain this one in more detail.

For PlayStation to be number, xbox family must have sold that bad or ps4 sold that good. Cause i am thinking ps3 must be last among the 4 or 3rd?

Now watch as users not realize the full effect of the Xboxone price drop won't be felt until this month.

Sorry, what's this rumour?
I thought we were talking consoles only. Nevermind.

You're right, my mistake. I was thinking within the context of GameCube and forgot how I worded the original statement.
At either rate, my point was there's no evidence hardware tech specs had anything to do with the PS4 sales, nor have they historically.
If it sells at the same rate as last month, it'd do 250k this month, as it is a 5 week month (last month was 4 weeks)
Well, it brought it up to a bit below the performance level of the Xbox One. If it could hold at that level in general, it would be a complete revival of the console. However, that is probably something I wouldn't place money on.
The question then becomes if it doesn't hold, how much does it go down, and how quickly. Obviously it's going to get a good boost this holiday season, as Nintendo systems always do, and they have some strong software out. How well it holds prior to that though will be something of a preview for how demand might be in January 2015 and beyond.
It's undeniably a good month, and my initial impression is the boost there looks more encouraging than what we saw in Japan, where the hardware bump nigh exactly mirrored Pikmin 3.

Some people are crazy. The numbers so far aren't great for the XBox One, but are not so bad either. I see posts saying the console is dead, go back to square one, etc. It's not like it's selling half of what the PS4 is selling, come on.
The next 3 or 4 months will not be good either, but the holiday season could be really strong for the XBone.
Also, before anyone says I'm salty or anything, I'm not. Check post history if necessary, I'm actually a PS fan.

Curious what the difference is between the PS4 and XB1 as well as the difference between the 3DS and XB1

doesn't matter since we've had multiple people confirm that Xbox One is indeed 2x from May
So what you're saying is, people are just too satisfied with their 360s?

Sony must advertise Minecraft Vita as the ultimate portable Minecraft version and make it cross-save with PS3 and PS4, in addition to release a Vita+Minecraft bundle.
It is more powerful so multiplatform games look better there, this gen there isn't online flaws like missing crossgame chat, both consoles have been released at the same time and Xbox still doesn't have Halo.
In addition to this, the best selling game of the month has been marketed why more as PS4 game etc.
No.

Will we be able to estimate PS4 sales any? I don't see any actual data anywhere except Sony sold higher then 150k or so

Its weird, cause I never remember Microsoft quoting sales numbers with that asterisk, and basing their sales numbers on internal data. They always seem to quote NPD around this time, not their "*- Internal data based on retail calendar and sold through numbers."

A) What rumored massive eshop sump/refresh?
B) Nope, that's pretty much it. To what are you referring?

If sales were "just fine" MS wouldn't be cutting kinect, closing the TV studio, and spinning "internal sales data"
That makes it a dead giveaway in which MS was trying to cover up bad sales through PR by saying that the sales for Xbox One have doubled.

I think he's talking about the PS4 and that you think it is still under 10 million?
The lastest system updates were hinted at being for something more than stability. Theres a thread on gaf about it. Listen to the latest 8-4 play, they go a bit further into it.

They gently caressed the numbers like blue balls.
/is a sheep.
Honestly though, it's just a cumulative build up of word of mouth and a very current and prominent presence that the game has right now. I also attribute solid sales as an indication that it'll have a healthy, thriving community ala Animal Crossing or Pokemon (hopefully) which is a big plus for me.

Jamix012 said the PS4 WW sales are nowhere near 9 million
and
I said probably close to 9 Million or over Considering sales where over 7 million in April

Well, last month it was less than the half.

Nope. At least not here (NYC)
cause their consoles didn't sell the most.
Well goddamn. Wii U's got some life in him yet. Genuinely surprised by this number.
US gap would have to be at least three times bigger during this part of the gen for that to be the case.
Xbox 360 having a whole year to itself greatly helped in terms of that gap last gen.

Stop with the conspiracy stuff. It is more than doubled.

Nintendo's problem for the next six months is two-fold:
1) Does anything they're releasing have the potential to bring in players that would not already own the system the way Mario Kart did?
2) Does the 3DS hurt the Wii U by offering cheaper alternatives to a lot of the same experiences?
(The answers are no and yes, respectively, if you're curious.)
Now, the silver lining for them here is that they still might do okay. Even if they're not massively increasing the install base (guessing ~60k is the new average until November), if they're getting Wii U owners to finally buy software and pick up what they're releasing this fall, it's a good thing for them. Keep in mind, when I say it's a good thing, I mean it's an extremely relative good thing, but it's a good thing all the same.
They have to take this lesson to heart and come out in 2015 with a steady stream of games to keep people interested. Don't just crowd the latter half of the year as if it's the only part that matters.
