Whoever wins November almost always wins December.

Xbox One being $299 for 3 weeks might change that, but that depends on how big the gap is this month.

Won't the PS4 also remain at $299?

8th gen console sales breaks 25 million this month,

[DannyDanger]

I'd be surprised if PS4 didn't win December as well. Especially with Star Wars hype reaching a fevered pitch.

did the that article actually say "losing steam worldwide" ???

On Topic

The only worthwhile prediction now is, when is the next month xbox will win?

 

[Asd202]

PS4 sold through after December will be crazy.

 

[small44]

And they won with no exclusives this holiday lol! congrats sony!

We all know that 3rd party deals are more important then Exclusive games

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I want to know the PS4's percentage increase over last November.

 

[Loudninja]

wow, sonycowboy here.

I know so weird haha.

Awesome to see him again.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Lol yeah for this current generation. I wish the wii u were selling like that.

ah, lol.

 

[Mr Moose]

Won't the PS4 also remain at $299?

I think it ends before the 26th, something like the 19th(?).

PS4 > 1.5 apparently?

 

[Acquiescence]

You call sales and delays

Oh I definitely don't call delays. I jinx games into getting delayed.

XB1 is $299 until the 26th as oppose to PS4 which is the 19th.

But the gap this month will determine how big of a factor that'll end up being.

 

[Welfare]

Won't the PS4 also remain at $299?

For two weeks. Microsoft has already started and won't end until a week after Sony's ends.

Fuck 1.5 MILLION?

 

[sonycowboy]

Yo whats up cowboy?

OMG, a blast from the past!!
How are things going? I hope well.

Btw happy birthday to Ryng Tolu.

Just enjoying life in the old rocking chair. Watching the next gen take over. Congrats to both Sony and Microsoft on an outstanding holiday season from a sales perspective.

Sony's PR are boring

I know, it's hard when you have no reason to spin anything out of control right? lol

It'd only change ti if Sony weren't $299 as well which it will be for the majority if not all the time.

 

[Bastables]

Honestly, I feel like TR bombing had less to due with exclusivity (though that was obviously a lot of it) and more to do with when it launched. A game like that isn't going to do well competing against Fallout, CoD, AC, Halo, etc. They should have delayed it to Spring and have it continue to serve its original purpose as the counter to UC4.

Remember the original plan was to go up against all the end of year games and Uncharted 4, the imbecility of the original plan knows no bounds.

Lara needs protection from bad business decisions.

Bravo.

 

[Y2Kev]

What percentage of global Xbox one sales are now in November and December? Kinda interesting how it compares historically.

 

[Bolivar687]

What’s that? Ah — Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game!

Love it!

Happy days ya'll

 

[Mrbob]

The "sale" goes through the December 19, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets extended to december 26. Then indefinitely.

I want to see the numbers if Sony and/or MS go back to 349 after this holiday season.

So PS4 beat PS2? This is some crazy land right here.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

I need to go lie down this is so damn much.
HOLY SHOT ps4!

 

[Kathian]

Over 1.5 would be madness.
I can only see this with a really low XOne number.

 

[Bruno MB]

Many insiders showing up here and giving more hints than usual always mean that it is a good month for the video game industry.

Everyone will be so off lol

Who would have thought the console generation after everybody spelled doom and gloom, consoles being dead, pc is the future, etc would see such amazing growth.

Congrats to Sony and MS on the huge sales.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

PS4 up nearly 100% over last year. Sweet merciful heavens.

 

[Toki767]

What percentage of global Xbox one sales are now in November and December? Kinda interesting how it compares historically.

I want to say it's something like 40%, but we don't know how much Xbox One sells anymore.

 

[Mrbob]

Isn't that almost a 100 percent YoY increase?

Good to hear.

And yeah I agree gaming is doing very well fantastic to see.

 

[allan-bh]

I know, it's hard when you have no reason to spin anything out of control right? lol

You can make a more interesting PR without spin, but no, they said that PS4 won and repeated old informations.

 

[Yurikerr]

Sorry for asking, but can someone explain the whole 'digital sales' reference?

I have been seeing it pop up often enough that it must be referring to something specific.

Just check this post:

Your mad if you think digital isn't drastically outselling physical.

I can name one person out of a friendship group of 10 people who bought Halo 5 physically rather than digital. That's 10/90% split in physical/digital in my friendship group. I'd say it's a similar story in a lot of other peoples.

PS4 won.

But the season! Are you telling me MS lost even during the season!

Well deserved Sony, they might had one killer Nov worldwide.

 

[orochi91]

I think it ends before the 26th, something like the 19th(?).

XB1 is $299 until the 26th as oppose to PS4 which is the 19th.

The "sale" goes through the December 19, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets extended to december 26. Then indefinitely.

....

Perhaps Sony should extend that $299 price-point for a few more days.

No need to concede such an important shopping week to MS, especially if it's just a matter of several days.
