Poor Chobel. Mistakes were made.

Never got the point of those bets anyway.

 

[Toki767]

The PS4 yoy growth is gonna be pretty big I guess.

It might be like 100% growth it sounds lol

 

[onQ123]

Yes, No.



One of the three current gen consoles, sure. Do you have to eat a hat?

How about 1.5?

 

[Obliterator]

Chobels Tag really should be

"Shouldn't make bets"

So good lol

 

[allan-bh]

Yeah, they really had nothing to push there hardware.

Especially the 3DS at least the WiiU had a good bundle.

I thought the Splatoon/Smash bundle would push the hardware more.

 

[Ray Down]

I think he likes to lose.

I think Chobel is a masochist

I thought the Splatoon/Smash bundle would push the hardware more.

It may have, moved Wii U sales from being next to Dinosaur bones to being next to coffins

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Because they are fun.

 

[jjonez18]

January-October was a fluke.

 

[slavesnyder]

So october was just an outlier month.

Problem is: October will be lost as a strong month forever.
Pre-season is growing.
Sales concentrate now on Nov and Dec at high discounts.
Let's be happy tonight, but is this really healthy?

 

[Welfare]

Never doubt the console that is being backed by Lord MAU.

Sure why not?

Pre-Season. We all know that nov-dec is all that matters.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

Not until I win one.

The words of a man who will Gambler's Fallacy his way into the most embarrassing avatar of all time.

 

[lightning2k3]

Nintendo lost because they don't have a functioning online accounting system and therefore not enough MAUs

 

[RexNovis]

Man U revised my predictions down ~150k for both PS4 and XB1 after hearing George's reasoning behind his predictions. Whelp there goes any chance I had of hitting top 10 this year (T-T)

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

But the real question is how much engagement was there on Xbox One???

 

[Y2Kev]

Throw open the doors to MAU

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

>20m combined install

Were they not at 18 million before that or in that range?

 

[idlewild_]

It's either that or Wii U finally sold close to PS4 and Xbox One.

Well, Cosmic said that our aggregates for XB1 and PS4 were conservative while the Wii U one was aggressive. Our aggregates already had the two outselling the Wii U by more than 2x. So...yeah, lol

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I think Chobel is a masochist

This should be his new tag xP

 

[SEGAvangelist]

But the real question is how much engagement was there on Xbox One???

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough!

 

[Obliterator]

Throw open the doors to MAU

Let the flood gates OPEN

 

[slavesnyder]

Sure why not?

Right you are.
Shut up and dance.

 

[shandy706]

If they both sold over 1.2 MILLION...holy crap. That's a lot isn't it?


Sounds like Microsoft AND Sony won!

I hope the Wii U saw a boost.




How about our little Vita.....are they even tracking it anymore????

 

[Y2Kev]

Sony should close down their first party studios

Yes. Yes. No. LOL.

 

[3rdamention]

Looks like I get to pick out a new avatar for my friend..But I will wait till we get all the numbers and everything...That Artisen avatar could be fun lol..

Sorry you can only have one winner. This isn't a slot car derby.

 

[Begaria]

Pre-Season. We all know that nov-dec is all that matters.

Actually, August and September count to now!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough!

We better. I want to know how many hours were spent trying to find out how to redeem codes.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I was thinking that those giftcards that MS was handing out would swing the sales momentum in the XB1's favour.

But maybe that will manifest in December NPD results.

No it won't.

 

[Chobel]

C'mon people, it was almost sure win bet XD.

 

[Patapwn]

Sony should close down their first party studios

Some would have you believe they've already done that

 

[Ryng_tolu]

>20m combined install

PS4+XB1 > 2.25 million then

 

[orochi91]

Yea.

Consumers over the past several years have been conditioned to flock to big sales events, most of which are in the final 2 months of the year.

I imagine Nov. and Dec. will regularly see record sales over the course of this gen.

 

[Welfare]

No.

Looking good so far.

Will make up for the bad performance last month.

 

[BeforeU]

Those are some incredible numbers if true. Good job Sony/MS.

Yep, If I am not mistaken the best November to date for Sony and Microsoft combined is 2011 (306 - 1.7M+PS3 - .9M) at ~2.6 million units.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

We better. I want to know how many hours were spent trying to find out how to redeem codes.

I'd like one for how many hours it takes Gamespot to find settings.

 

[EventHorizon]

Awwww... !@#$. I let NDP_Mulcair talk me into lower numbers. Thankfully I stuck to my guns at on the PS4 side. I knew November was going to be BIG. I need to stick with my gut next time. Live and learn.

 

[shandy706]

Yes. Yes. No. LOL.

Poor little Vita. I still love you.

 

[Obliterator]

I told old Georgie he was aiming too low ;-)

 

[allan-bh]

PS4+XB1 > 2.25 million then

Both sold more than 1.23m, so combined > 2.46m

 

[orochi91]

Amazing comeback for Sony.

They got blown out the water last year, by like ~600K.

 

[Boke1879]

With SOny and MS dropping their prices again. They should see good sales this December as well.

 

[BokehKing]

Chobels Tag really should be

"Shouldn't make bets"

So good lol

What was his bet, I feel like I missed so much

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

So this NPD is sounding fantastic(except wii u rip again).

 

[brawly]

Actually, August and September count to now!

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Ray Down]

Poor little Vita. I still love you.

Well someone has to.
