Yeah. Someone do the math!

The Xbox One deals were quite popular and have inspired a new promotion starting January 16 where fans in the U.S. can buy an Xbox One for $349 at their preferred retailer.

Lol

Nov+Dec? Why?

It didn't take that long I guess

 

[ViciousDS]

Guys I just got word from an extremely reliable source that PS4 won by a pretty huge margin, like over 500k. I've known the source my whole life and its very reliable and its only leaked several times and this is one of them.

Still think Microsoft raising back the price is going to hurt them in January a lot. They dropped majorly on Amazon's list

Just some quick math, but if this is what I think it is, December was huge.

FUCK YES.

Finally the Wii was dethroned by a real console.

shock. and. awe.

 

[samar11]

So before November PS4 was leading by 1.2 million, then xbox closed the gap by 400k, so that leaves PS4 with a 700k lead, right?

 

[StarBlazers1]

It's going back down to $349 as of tomorrow.

 

[CosmicQueso]

it's very vague pr.

Intentionally so? Hmmm...

Wait...is that a combined reference for November and december then???

If it is it'll be a new low in the spin machine.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

The price drop is back!

Welp the first post I see when checking in is of a bread's ass.

Yep. Back to crunching.

Come back! We have loads of bread to share.

Yep Xbox won December, knew that was coming. Question is by how much, should be interesting

Edit: Maybe not? That would be beyond surprising tbh

Xbox 360 sold 1100k in December 2006.

50% more would mean the Xbox One shifted 1650k units in December 2014.

Lol, price drop is back already, $349 at "preferred" retailers starting tomorrow... That was pretty quick...

 

[gregor7777]

Bombs dropped

 

[A_Gorilla]

Lol, price drop is back already, $349 at select retailers starting tomorrow... That was pretty quick...

The probably saw Amazon's chart.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Unless it means XB1 NOV+DEC > PS4 NOV+DEC, the XB1 won December.

November + december.

It's Nov + Dec, at least that's how his sentence is worded.

Utter insanity. No way the PS4 retains a lead in the US with those numbers.

[GreyOcelot]

means they probably saw a huge drop over the last two weeks and knew they had to go back to $349

Ok, yeah that makes sense then. For a second there, the weird PR threw me off and I was like how on earth is it possible MS lost December, it didn't make any sense for it to have

So are we going to re-serve crow for those that didn't believe the price drop was eventually a permanent one?

So, another 180 with 350$?

Woah

 

[Goodacre0081]

That would make no sense. Why let the price go back up to $399 for a month? That is foolish. More likely, if MS loses its momentum (very likely based upon the PS4 being back at the top of the Amazon best seller list and XB1 dropping), then perhaps in the Spring? Or more likely at E3. I don't see a price drop before then.

The Xbox One deals were quite popular and have inspired a new promotion starting January 16 where fans in the U.S. can buy an Xbox One for $349 at their preferred retailer.

 

[Mpl90]

One back at 349.99 MUCH quicker than I would have thought. Ha.

 

[A_Gorilla]

MS had no choice. If they stayed the $399 pricepoint they might have had Wii U levels of sales until the next Holiday season.

This really is unprecedented.

And all those who loled at us saying they wouldnt make it permanent can now eat crow.

Good, no BS PR. Xbox One won Dec NPD.

 

[Welfare]

Does this mean the One sold less than 1230k in December? Assuming pr meant Nov+Dec 2006 x 1.5

 

[Pathfinder]

I knew they wouldn't fully return to $399. It wouldn't have made any logical sense for them to do so after cleaning up in November and December.

 

[Miles X]

Nov + Dec 2006 for 360 was 1.641m

50% more than that is 821k + 1.641m = 2.462m

Minus the 1.23m it did in Nov and you get 1.23m for Dec?

 

[slavesnyder]

What now, Sony?
October was the last of yours...

 

[The Shogun]

One back at 349.99 MUCH quicker than I would have thought. Ha.

Yeah I had no idea how long it would last or not when they said it was going back up. I thought they would have stuck to $399 through the slow months of January, February but smart call on their part.

 

[Final Verdict]

Sony won Canada?

Isn't Nintendo also blue?


Jokes aside, I have no Idea what this means...

 

[loaf of bread]

Bleh this is boring. Was hoping for excitement.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Yep, they saw the numbers and realized $349 was the only way to catch up.

With it being permanent, and the sales reflecting the price point, I wonder what action Sony will take.

 

[donny2112]

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - Dec-2014

1. XB1 - 1220K
2. PS4 - 1061K
3. 3DS - 611K
4. WIU - 397K
5. 360 - 312K
6. PS3 - 132K

 

[Jomjom]

With those holiday numbers the PS4 and Xbone must be neck and neck in the US now.

They already did something, since now The Last of Us: Remastered is in bundle with every PS4, IIRC.

 

[small44]

I don't understand people who are surprised xbone will back to it's normal price wasn't the same thing last generation where you can have a 50$ price reduction
