xbox one took The top-selling console spot For july in the US a.k.a the world

Doesn't even make sense what are you trying to say lol.
Warriors only fight for lost cause.
Look dude.

Normal people buy consoles to play the games they want, to invest in a particular ecosystem, to play with their friends, etc. Fanboys treat consoles like a sports team, as is they're emotionally invested in companies that just want your money.

In response to someone argueing that it's pointless to have a Sony Won NDP thread for every month, you responded with this:

Don't care. I just wanna go there and say yas queen we won.

I mean. If it's a joke post that's cool and all but you referred to it like "we won." Do you work for Sony? Do you see console ownership as "us vs. Them"?

Then if so, you are a console warrior. It's okay. Just accept it. We're on gaf after all, so it's not unusual to see people being enthusiasts.
 
It is amazing to see how things have come full circle here in the USA.

At the start of the generation the X1 way $100 more than the PS4. Now you can go pick up an Xbone (the old model) for $250 with some games at just about any retailer which is $100 cheaper than the PS4 bundle.

Also, a used xbone sells for $220 at my local gamestop while a used PS4 cost $320.

Really dude. That was a joke. Every sales thread has been pretty much boring with ps4 winning everywhere
 
Really though. I guess im just too old or too long in gaming too give 2 shits about console warzzz. Just glad im still having machines after all those years I love gaming on....

Find it funny how many people can camp in with a piece of hardware.. but also it is really sad imo... like I find it really sad

Yes everyone else are fanboys. But yet you post the following...

Ps4 wins for months: jeej, sony is king!
Xbox One wins one month: but, but, but.

Maybe that's how he see's the narrative? Doesn't mean he's a fanboy.

And yes, Sony is still king obviously, that's why this whole thread is silly af. from the people who are spinning.......
 
Guessing they had to clean house on the normal Xbox One's with that $249 price point. Still, good on them. They'll probably take the top spot for August as well because of the Xbox One S.

The same things happen in every thread. Fanboys shitting on each other. The only people that see it only happening one way are the fanboys. There is no way you could read Gaf and think only Xbox gets trolled. But then again who knows because apparently no Xbox fanboys have posted in this thread and only sony and Nintendo fans are in here being "salty".

Also funny you would call context/discussion "spinning".
 
These threads are always good for fleshing out my ignore list!

Anyways, have to imagine they'll also probably take August with the S launching.

Thanks to everyone who helped make #XboxOne the #1 selling console in July according to #NPD, nice to be back on top!

He forgot to check if they made any profit.


MS got the MAUs, Sony got the ASPs.
 
What happened to normal NPD threads?

NPD full report is next Thursday. I thought all data was getting delayed a week because of digital sales. Didn't realise data was still put out on the second Thursday.

With subscriber and public report being split a week, and software charts now meaning jack all shit, it's clear this is to further hide any meaningful data from the public and lessen NPD discussion unless it's PR.

Like why even do these. Fuck off.


Ps4 wins for months: jeej, sony is king!
Xbox One wins one month: but, but, but.

The difference is it's not made a big deal.

Both consoles sold pretty much average and have a mere 10K difference. Why is everyone arguing?
 
Yes everyone else are fanboys. But yet you post the following...
What are you even talking about anyway? Im a fanboy becausw I made an observation that that happens in Sony npd threads and now in this one?

Because that wat it is sir, an observation. If you are trying to get someone on his own words at least make it somehow a little logic..

But guess im a fanboy now with my vita 3ds ps4 xbox one s xbox one and even the frigging disaster that is wiiu! A fanboy of gaming, perhaps
 
Really great to have charts and more detailed informations in NPD threads now.

Also, why can I always tell what kind of comment someone will make, just by looking at their name/avatar and whether we are on a Sony or a Microsoft thread ?
You'd be amazed at the consistency when spotting "Junior Member" as well.

Dunno... Im just glad consoles continue to do well. The One S is an amazing piece of hardware and Microsoft really picked the dropped ball the last few years

I would call it about as disproportionate as the gap in sales. Any fandom can scream but the one with more people have the loudest voice. PlayStation took this shit by a landslide, there's no way that doesn't translate to a stronger online presence. I agree that all platforms have warriors though, that goes without saying.

This is a good summary and analysis....and it's not just this gen though, it's Sony building a great brand and loyal fanbase over 20 years.

Bish quoting me means I said something good, right? Right ??

If you weren't, you would be dead already.

Sony has done an amazing job in that aspect. And it's a thin line between respecting your fanbase and pandering but they walk it just fine. For a lot of people PlayStation IS gaming and they deserve it for the work they put in.
 
Sony fanboys are way too salty over a Microsoft leadership...

MS fanboys are way too happy over a simple 10k margin winning in a low sales month...

Nintendo fanboys are way too quiet in this thread, since they were the (real) "winners" on this month's NPD chart.
