We don't know what the PS4 is at. A bigger gap than November would be a surprise.

From this:

Looks like XB1 is over 1.38 million, but under 1.43 million.

And Cosmic's post about PS4+XB1 being within 5% of GAF's PS4+XB1 aggregate, can't we get a fairly solid PS4 range?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Love how Zhuge used to get all kinds of shit in these threads and now he's gone twitter exclusive and dude's now revered. Well played Zhuge!

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah, but kinda mediocre in some other months of the year.

Its true, I think a big part of that is consumer awareness of how good deals are becoming in the last 2-3 months of the year

 

[Begaria]

Time for crapgamer to make another video soon.

"I don't care about sales, so here's ANOTHER video talking about sales (that I just told you that I don't care about)." Every god damn NPD video.

 

[allan-bh]

They can't do big numbers all year round. Besides, the PS4 continues to break records, despite those few "mediocre months'.

Not in USA.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Woot! I have xbone at 1.4m

They don't love you til you're gone.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Fuck! Looks I'm way off.

I hope you didn't make a bet prior to the results coming out

That would be ~1.6m.

 

[SgtCobra]

PS4 won.

But muh first party exclusives???
The majority just doesn't care, it's that simple.
Edit: so he's not 100% sure? Ohh eating crow would be much more satisfying now if the XB1 wins.

January will be an interesting month.

Will this ever get old? The answer is no.

My problems with Zhuge was never his analysis of the industry he's a smart guy.

Its how he would talk down to people often and go on alt account witch hunts

I've noticed the same thing, but In fact I think he pretends to have access to NPD data.

Never saw he make a comment with new data for people folowing the threads.

And Cosmic's post about PS4+XB1 being within 5% of GAF's PS4+XB1 aggregate, can't we get a fairly solid PS4 range?

It puts the PS4 right around the aggregate since the X1 isn't exactly far from it (give or take slightly above or slightly below). Variance of 5% is effectively negligible, so if the X1 is around the aggregate ala Ryng's numbers, then the PS4 is also around the aggregate.

So ~1.4m and ~1.6m.

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - Dec-2015

1. PS4 - 1662K
2. XB1 - 1346K
3. 3DS - 460K
4. WIU - 366K

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Guys, Zhuge on Twitter told me that he's predictions were not SUPER close... so, we will see what the real numbers are.

But the poor guy is sitting in a lighthouse.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Not in USA.

Then.....what do you want? Is it healthy or not?

Edit: Oh, and btw, Destiny broke some kind of a record in NA when it launched.

 

[CoG]

The US gap widens. Would take some pretty aggressive moves on Microsoft's part to catch up at this point. November and December's lineup and price relative to PS4 was about as good as it's going to get.

oh!

Come on ZhugeEX

He was right last month, maybe now someone is providing him NPD data.

No. If you payed attention.......

I am not a Zhuge fan, but he did have some numbers last month that ended up being correct, that he posted on Twitter, before our own Insiders released them.


He has someone feeding him info.

 

[Obliterator]

#1 and #2 combined were within 5% of Gaf aggregate that should give you a solid idea to work from for now

 

[CosmicQueso]

Damn you guys are good at extrapolating.

No matter what MS do at this point they won't catch... the gap will increase every year.

 

[Vena]

In the good way or the good "our imaginations run wild" way?

 

[SolidAwesome]

"I don't care about sales, so here's ANOTHER video talking about sales (that I just told you that I don't care about)." Every god damn NPD video.

LMAOOOOO!!
I love his damage control man, they dont understand that people only look at his tweets because its always damage control galore!! lmao

 

[Maniel]

Guys, Zhuge on Twitter told me that he's predictions were not SUPER close... so, we will see what the real numbers are.

So that means that ps4 could be a good bit over 1.7 million, and xbox one a good bit under 1.5 million. Maybe not both, but probably one or the other.

 

[3rdamention]

Damn you guys are good at extrapolating.

Ok, someone is getting damn close here.

IGN just posted this - *LINK*

Nothing yet on the SW front, though. But at least we have another source if people still doubted Zhuge.

 

[Chobel]

Looks like XB1 is over 1.38 million, but under 1.43 million.

How did you come to this estimation?

 

[allan-bh]

Then.....what do you want? Is it healthy or not?

PS4 is doing fantastic worldwide, 2nd fastest seller of all time.

In USA I was impressed with PS4 lauch sales, Destiny launch month and now holiday 2015. Outside of that is ok at best.

 

[CosmicQueso]

In the good way or the "good" in the our imaginations run wild bad way?

In the same way you think about Nintendo's decision to not include a charger with the new 3DS =P

 

[Ryng_tolu]

No, XB1 is under 1.43 million.

 

[Primethius]

Ok, someone is getting damn close here.

The only numbers I see are ~1.4 mil and ~1.6 mil.

And Red_Ring's range for the XB1 (1.38 to 1.44).

"More than 5.7 million PS4s and 35 million PS4 games were sold through to consumers worldwide" during the season, Sony said.

DAMN.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah Holiday 2014 for market leader for PS4 was not impressive really at all.

2015 was pretty damn nice though

Wow!

"More than 5.7 million PS4s and 35 million PS4 games were sold through to consumers worldwide" during the season, Sony said.

Sony PR

“As we reflect on an amazing year, we want to thank fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top selling console in December and in 2015. PS4 also had the strongest third-party software sales in 2015 in the U.S., according to NPD.

The momentum and enthusiasm for the platform continued throughout the year, resulting in cumulative sales of more than 35.9 million since the launch of PS4. During the holiday season alone, more than 5.7 million PS4s and 35 million PS4 games were sold through to consumers worldwide. We look forward to another great year and bringing an extensive portfolio of games from our publisher partners and SCE Worldwide Studios to fans in 2016.”

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

 

[Primethius]

But what is the holiday season really?

 

[Super_Cobra]

Really the Xbox cannot out perform the ps4 at the same price. Sony screwed up the chance of selling more than Xbox last holidays by not matching the xbone at the price.

 

[Conduit]

Time for crapgamer to make another video soon.

Where are the proofs?

 

[Ray Down]

That and I think they didn't make enough of those GTA bundles.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

How did you come to this estimation?

XB1 sales January 2015 to November 2015: 3,569,000

With this comment we know XB1 is over 4.95 million, but under 5 million.

 

[allan-bh]

No. If you payed attention.......

I would love to see an example.

ps: I have nothing against ZhugeEX, I think is a great guy, but I'm not convinced that he has access, I think he's playing smart.

 

[Fat4all]

Wow!

Impressive.

Comeoooon 6:30...

 

[Vena]

So... use it to strangle wool yoshis?

 

[slavesnyder]

Sony PR is boringly worded as always.
