Yes but do you have your clocks synced with the International Atomic Timekeeping Service?
If Jan-Oct. rack up a 600K lead and then Nov+Dec push back the other way by 700K, the tables would've already turned. Nov+Dec really are just that big. The other months aren't meaningless, but Nov and Dec are so much more.
Best autocorrect error ever.

Actually, my work computer is synced with time.microsoft.com, thank you very much.
Looking forward to the quantum entanglement version in a few years.

Has anyone updated the picture of Truman holding the newspaper that made the rounds when the September NPD discussions were on going? We need an updated version of that if the impossible happens...
at 17 min to go, just wait
Well I am making the distinction between a game that is a complete next-gen exclusive and that, incidentally, Ubisoft sabotaged and are so incompetent that it actually runs better on XBO and last-gen ports. Some people may even like Unity, gross I know.
But as I said, and which you simply used much more subdued language to convey, is that Xbox One went significantly deeper into their pockets and produced shocking prices relative to their competent and historical year on year prices. So whatever December is (who knows quite yet), in November certainly XBO is going to have dominated and, in my estimation, dominated quite impressively. If only we can get the numbers to see by how much precisely.

You guys are really committed, aren't you? Go have your workout, it's not like the information is going to disappear... o O

Workout, and it will be like having a long queue of episodes ready on Netflix. Wait, and it's like watching the latest episode on TV with everyone else*.

I'm actually curious now. According so some websites, MS with the Kinect was only making maybe $30+ per system sold. That's back in 2013.
If you factor in the price drop + the game give aways, what's the probability MS lost a ton of money in November? Seems crazy to think how much money it would be.

But then he won't be here to see it unfold in real time.
I can say with certainty "no".

Xbox One beat the PS4 in December 2013 NPD by about 45K.

December 2013.
They had to expand the user base, desperately.

If true. Yep. December 2013 shouldn't count because the PS4 was supply constrained.
You need to consider that manufacturing costs will most likely have dropped since last year.
They won last November or December when PS4 was had problem with supplying stores.
Well that post and this one are not even tangentially related, and this one is going to be indisputably true in a few minutes. Only of course Sony is still going to be way ahead in US system unit number and massively ahead on a worldwide basis, so it's not like any ages are coming to a close right this second

They also pretty much won February 2014 since it was so close. It was a moral victory.
Whit all the Gaf expecting results, I don't think it's necessary to ask. We will just know.

Yes, MS lost money on X1s last month but this isn't about winning a month's NPDs, it's about saving the platform. The losses they took in November would pale in comparison to the losses they would incur in the long run if they didn't kickstart the X1 into relevance. Small install base = small income. The console business has traditionally been a razor/razorblade affair so I don't know why people suddenly act as if there is anything wrong with doing this.
Yeah, I don't know why but it's getting really old for me. And not just NPDs, but pretty much anything that's discussed. But that's not just GAF it's the whole Internet now.

You should probably look up what the word "trend" means.

$100 per box maybe we are looking at most $100,000,000 lost. They spent 9x more than that making too many Surface RTs, lol.
