But I thought sales don't matter. What matters is MAU. What changed this month?

But how many MAUs?

 

[Sterok]

Is this the first time a system has won thanks to a game not on said system?

I don't mind MS ignoring handhelds since they don't have one. When was the last time PS4 was in third place?

 

[VinFTW]

Just serving AmaterasuOni's wishes.
We need more passion.

Whatever it is you're doing it's embarrassing lol

Anyways, OT: Grats to MS.

Excited to pick up my S on the 23rd.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

breaking news: sales numbers matter!

I miss MAUs. Stupid sales data!

Never?

Edit: I guess december 2013 was 3DS>XBO>PS4

hm
wow....maybe never?

 

[Kolx]

Never?

Ps4 is done. It was a good run Sony.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Never?

December 2013, both 3DS and XBO outsold PS4.

Wasn't December 2013 3DS > XB1 > PS4?

You are right

 

[Sterok]

Never?

They sold more consoles lol

MAUs wouldn't exist if MS was winning month on month. It is thanks to Sony that MAUs are a thing.

 

[DomsPlaying]

Then XB1 must've held well this month.

Completely underestimated 3DS and XB1 this month.

Same, at least for X1.

I figured with S releasing right after July ended, folks would wait until then to get the latest box but I guess the price cutting worked to coax consumers into buying the original model!!

December 2013, both 3DS and XBO outsold PS4.

First time in 3rd place without be supply constrained.

 

[Guymelef]

So that rumor about PS Now coming to PC...
Sony knows PS4 is done and they care about MAUs only now.

 

[rhandino]

3DS>Xone>PS4>OUYA

Pokemon Go impacT?

 

[allan-bh]

3DS>Xone>PS4>OUYA

OUYA > WII U AND PS VITA CONFIRMED.

Ouya is an incredible success.

 

[Audioboxer]

So that rumor about PS Now coming to PC...
Sony knows PS4 is done and they care about MAUs only now.

The meeting on the 7th of September is to announce their retirement from the hardware industry and the future being PS Now in 720p on Windows 10 PCs. App will be exclusive to the Windows store.

So that rumor about PS Now coming to PC...

People think the playstation meeting is about the neo, when its really just them announcing their exit from the PS4 console business and going full speed towards PS Now and a Playstation vita revival.

that's incredible

 

[allan-bh]

Jokes aside, $299 will be a good price tag for standard PS4.

$349 is a little too much at this point.

 

[QaaQer]

Wow, some people get so salty over console wars lmao

Ss is 100% sodium free.

 

[Guymelef]

People think the playstation meeting is about the neo, when its really just them announcing their exit from the PS4 console business and going full speed towards PS Now and a Playstation vita revival.

The best thing about Vita Trinity is that it will allow up to 100 different PSN accounts per console, more MAUs per console is good.

I did not want to hurt your feelings. I am as happy as you that microsoft found the sweet spot in their pricing policy for the Xbox to become the no. 1 home console in July.
Thank you for informing us about your purchase plans.

 

[Vena]

I shouldn't have doubted my gut. Ryng knows I called it, lol.

 

[CosmicQueso]

breaking news: sales numbers matter!

Welp, so much for the whole "their entire strategy is around MAU and sales don't actually matter" nonsense that went on for months.

 

[sense]

I knew XB1 would win.

That thing was close being given away for free.

Not initially

Ps4 was always going to win with xb1 slim announcement. Ps4 will win July aswell.

August will be more interesting.

Nah there are some crazy fire sale deals for xb1 going around so I would be absolutely shocked if xb1 did not win next month

XB1 is one big fire sale.

PS4 will win July.

I hope Greenberg isn't talking about 7-10k win.

 

[Shambala]

I think the xb1 ps4 gap is really tiny

 

[Kyrios]

I hope Greenberg isn't talking about 7-10k win.

Given MS's PR this gen, would it surprise you if he was? lol

 

[CosmicQueso]

I hope Greenberg isn't talking about 7-10k win.

Funny that you mention that...

 

[CrazE]

But I thought sales don't matter. What matters is MAU. What changed this month?

Same thing that happened last gen when Sony started counting the Playstation Family. They all do this. But who can do it better is the key!

 

[jayu26]

Funny that you mention that...

You tease...

 

[sense]

Funny that you mention that...

Lol fire sale and the gap isn't that big!!!

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I think the xb1 ps4 gap is really tiny

must be a tiny nose

I'm not jumping to conclusions yet. I'm gonna wait lol

Poor Greenberg, CBOAT was right years later...

 

[Inuhanyou]

It would have been bad if a price cut to 279 and Xbox S hype didn't get MS to number 1 spot.

Unfortunately for them, their timing is that NEO comes out in September with PS4 to get an inevitable price drop.

*edit*

Probably october, but i'm assuming PS4 gets a price drop immediately

What a bad month for MS then...

 

[Conduit]

Funny that you mention that...

Wut??? I know that a win is a win, but that's disastrous

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Hey, just though about this!

Best July for 3DS before this month was July 2013, when it sold 150,000 unit. This July is >176k.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

WTF

PS4 in third place?

At least NPD still tracks hardware by units and not by revenue as they now do with software...

 

[jroc74]

I KNEW I should have changed my 3DS numbers. Damn!!!

that's shitty
