Should have clarified: No one who's opinions MATTER would be complaining.

Did some people in this thread forget that Sony actually sold PS4s this month and had a competitive BF bundle themselves?

I kinda want to see the PS4 win so I can witness the freak Sony fan snark. Its far more witty than the freak Xbox fan snark.

Yeah I can see that. They saved up all their PR ammo for Dec to unleash it against Sony in one shot like a massive spirit bomb.

And when Sony wins you don't expect salt?

Haha, thanks for the additional line. I was very confused for a long time about what you were saying.

A XBO win is all but a guarantee but its by how much.
With the deals and price slash they need to dominate November and take a sizeable chunk out of that 1m lead in the US the PS4 has. Anything less then a 200k-300k gap (if it sells 1 million total) will be a disappointment.

When's the leaks coming
It's funny because you asked me about it earlier.
I'm still banking on a 1.8:1 x1
s4 ratio. This is the time of year that presents are bought, x1 offers market distorting value, and parents are super price sensitive. So yeah, nearly 2:1.theprodigy

Hi Guys,
Whilst I'm aware this thread is no longer accepting predictions I just want to share with you what I think the results will look like for PS4 and Xbox One.
This is a prediction that I've been working with based off previous NPD data as well as data from other sources.
[PS4] 1120k
[XB1] 1380k
I think the gap between the two will be around ~260k with Xbox One ahead due to the price cut + bundles. I know this prediction is very high but what I'm trying to show is that the PS4 will be behind Xbox by around 260k units.

This month should be pretty interesting because I don't think it's crystal clear which console won, at least according to Amazon;
2. XBone (AC bundle)
11. PS4 (GTA / TLoU bundle)
31. PS4
48. PS4 (Destiny bundle)
79. PS4 (Lego Batman / LBP bundle)
82. XBone (AC bundle w/ kinect)
100. XBone (CoD bundle)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-11/videogames
The AC bundle clearly sold extremely well, but the PS4 BF bundle didn't exactly flop.

Guys, the question is no longer IF, the question is BY HOW MUCH.
Yeah this. It'll be a HUGE shock at this point if MS didn't win.
It already happened a few posts ago with the 550-600k gap this month alone.

Either way its going to be wild. I don't know about meltdowns / drama, but the thread will be crazy huge.

Microsoft wouldn't withhold such a massive sales coup. We may not have gotten exact numbers, but you can bet your life they would be shouting a 2:1 advantage from the rooftops at the end of November if it had come to pass.
Most of us fully expect MS to have taken the month, but the silence leads many of us to believe the difference isn't worth trumpeting about.
Well there it is, PS4 victory is out the door.
Since there were some people who for some reason were still hoping/thinking there might be a chance. There was no chance the moment MS announced that $349 price.
They sold 4 million consoles in November? That's greati think i only saw that one recent post about ms cutting the lead in half
Oh god yes!
I want one of two outcomes.
1. Microsoft wins by a huge margin, along the lines of half a million difference.
or
2. Sony wins by 1.
I think you missed that the thread thinks that MS won and that if they didn't, it would be a surprise.
The question is by how much and if not...how could they not of won?
US lead. This is NPD.
Do you have actual data?

Yes I believe CosmicQueso has access one way or another. I know in the past he/she has.
No. Just people warming up for the crazy.
Don't you say?
