So being open about your plans at E3 is good for sales, being vague hurts. At least that is what I get out of PS4 sales YoY being down that much
xbox one took The top-selling console spot For july in the US a.k.a the world

Good job ignoring the $100 price difference.
Yea Xbox one took the month by 10K. But I think the PlayStation made $12 million more dollars overall.
Nah it was pretty much the price.

I don't think there is anything to do with E3.
XB1 sales were due firesale.
PS4 sales were due no important release and no price cut.
So Microsoft won the beginning of the generation? And Sony won the beginning of last generation?
The 299 is coming out on the 23rd.

I bought a few cheap Ones for Christmas presents.
Why are people so weird about video games lol.

I'd agree with this. In the context of pricing and the July release slate, the PS4 HW sales are actually fairly impressive.
And the massive difference in what was bundled in the $258 and $351, respectively.
I am so confused.

It's because they are handhelds that's why.

Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of jabs being tossed here and there all in good will. Gotta have some fun for sure...sometimes though it just seems people get too worked up over stuff like this.

Regardless of who "won" how do those numbers stack up against past Julys?
Like the start of this gen!
Lol.
As if MS and Ninty don't work? All companies make bad decisions at times. See the PS3 and XB1. They're companies in business to make a profit- they're not your friends.
I've observed Sony for a very long time. For me, having watched some of the anti-competitive/consumer-unfriendly bullshit they've pulled in the CE devices sector over the years gives me a different perspective than pure console fanboys.
I say that to make the point that EVERY company is prone to anti-competitive and consumer unfriendly behavior if market conditions favor it.
Pretty late in the month for Aug. NPD's IMO. I'll be very surprised if MS 'wins' August NPD's. Not that it matters much either way.

Earlier in the week I saw the 2TB Xbox One S as the #1 console seller on Amazon so it might have a chance

I've never said any company was my friend. I've often argued against that idea. I have no idea what you're spitting at me but all I'm saying is Sony has done a good job of keeping loyal fans. The numbers show it. None of that is my fault. Well I've owned every Sony console so I guess that tiny bit is my fault.
Also it almost sounds like you think I'm a Sony fanboy. Which is funny because on the last page I was an MS fanboy. I should go for the trifecta.

Owning both consoles now, I can tell you that the PS4 fans makes more noise. ;D
My diatribe wasn't aimed specifically at you. Just fanboys in general. I should've clarified that better.

I see what you did there.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I'm glad, because it's the better console in almost every way but specs. Sony needs to do better.
No worries ✌

THE STREAK IS OVER
Saddest day in wrestling ever.
I thought I saw a quote from a Microsoft exec a day or two ago saying the $399 One S is already sold out. It was meant to be a limited launch edition and they're all gone.
Then I go to Amazon and see that I can still buy one as of right now, so I guess Microsoft must mean they've shipped all they made, but haven't exactly sold them all yet.

I didn't realize how controversial the Xbox selling well for a month would be.
People are mad!
I despise Microsoft as a company, and never have been a fan of Xbox, but it's okay if it sells well. That happened.
Not only is it good for the industry, but it also would be a reason to go at each others throats for, even if it wasn't a good thing.
I hate to use the word, but we need to collectively take a deep breath and stop being so damn salty. Ugh, I said it.
Nice one, mate. XD
I wish both fans were quieter.

Welcome to NPD's. Exactly the point of the thread.

This has me laughing so hard. That's as real as video games are...heck, games are less scripted. X-D

I think it's funny how so many people on both sides(including the media) are making such a big deal out of this when neither of the corporations care.
Yeah the figureheads at MS are tweeting it but that's standard PR to fool clueless people into thinking there's lots more demand for their console than there is. Let's face it, if there was lots of demand it wouldn't need a fire sale. Microsoft Corp aren't going to be celebrating that they had to lose money on their product to edge out a small victory for one or two months.
Sony doesn't care that Xbox outsold them for one month when for the past 8 they've outsold them by 100s of thousands. They may be concerned with being down so much yoy though but you know they have big plans for the rest of the year. They're launching PSVR and Neo with at minimum a price cut on PS4 and another temporary cut during the holidays and several big bundles. Unless they consistently got blown out they wouldn't really have a knee jerk reaction.
This thread has been hilarious though! 😭😭

Let it die. Give this thread the burial it so sorely needs.
May it move on to page 2 in peace.

It's kind of insane that PS4 launched at $399 in Nov 2013, and still pulls an average selling price of $350 in July 2016.
I don't know if there's any prescedent for that in the console space.

Specs and game library for me.
Which to be honest is the two most important factors for most people.
I can see it taking August, September and October as well since Forza and Gears are coming out.
Both have great libraries and grear games coming soon.

....I totally overlooked this. Seems many have too.
Wow.
Perfect.
And I agree. lol
I don't see Forza pushing many units. Gears is a wildcard other than it will sell something less than Halo 5.
