I need an explanation of this
I have high hopes that pork loin can take Dec/Jan at least. Their streak was too short...

In addition to my last post I also wanted to note as I own both the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One S I can't help but wonder why people feel the need to talk down physical media like UHD Bluray movies.
You may be fine with lower quality streams (even some UHD streams don't match standard Bluray discs due to compression/bandwidth) but it's ridiculous to speak for everyone as if the format doesn't matter/won't gain traction. Some people will naturally prefer and appreciate the experience it provides.

Importance of bolded will come down to if Knack 2 is in that lineup or not.

The fact that TLOU Part 2 exists is enough to sway people to buy a PS4 now if they are looking to buy a console. Masterful marketing.
Report by Adobe. And it was only for "online sales":
Adobes Black Friday report is based on aggregated and anonymous data from 22.6 billion visits to retail websites. Adobe measures 80 percent of all online transactions from the top 100 U.S. retailers.

Ah, roger that. Guess retail still takes up a big chunk of sales during these periods.

And I am still surprised that MS didn't bother with a xbox event
I can understand the wish of some for a Holiday packed with 1st-party games; however, the market has showed them twice already that it doesn't really matter at the end.
I don't know if that will push people to by a PS4 now, but the momentum doing into next year should be strong for Sony. They have a strong lineup to leverage off of.
Wait...WHAT?! You haven't seen The Lion King??!?!?!! What world am I living in??
Yeah I can understand that, their bundles are pretty lacking this year.

The Xbox One S helped Microsoft win as well.
Plus, there's a big possibility many held off for the Pro instead of spending money on a PS4 Slim.

A world in which 6 year olds were born in 2010
Time is unforgiving. Lion King is awesome, but it's a bit "old" these days. Not saying that user is 6 years old obviously, but not knowing that movie (and movies from that decade) will become more and more normal tbh.Nightengale

These are all the new, non-remaster first party announcements at PSX:
- Uncharted TLL
- Knack 2
- Starblood Arena
- TLOU Part 2
One of the games above? Announced earlier than it could've been.
Don't forget that MS has been trying to avoid announcing games too early nowadays and they don't have enough 3rd party stuff from especially Japanese devs to support a show at the same scale of E3.

I haven't watched animated Disney films since The Black Cauldron, IIRC. Different strokes for different folks.
A world in which 6 year olds were born in 2010
Disney films used to be an exception, but I am not sure how popular the traditionally animated stuff will be with the generation born after its death.

I didn't say it would push them to buy console now, but if you looking to buy a console now it becomes a factor in your decision assuming you don't plan to buy multiple consoles.

That is nonsense... MS has been pretty douchy over the few months that they won NPD with Aaron Greenburg back to his usual obnoxious tweets. They lost the biggest shopping month of the year and now it's all Kumbaya?
This generation will be looking at the Live action Beauty & the Beast film, Jungle Book and the inevitable Live action Lion King movies are their classics.

I know amazing right? It took 4 consoles to beat MS 1 console right? Maybe the retailers and Sony conspired and the numbers were miscounted and really Xbox 1 won? Sheesh!

He wants to see meltdowns, one easy way to do that is to look at himself, because he's having meltdown now that Xbox didn't win this month.

I was 19 at the time Lion King came out.
I watched Snow White (1937) with my mother, when I was a kid.

But what about Pork Loins?

Tbh it is surprising to me usually Xbox fire sales usually somehow win November in US even if just by a slim margin.
They've really fallen behind even in home turf. They really need to up their game. Slacking hard while long-term plans of Sony catch them off guard year after year.
But knowing Microsoft habits nothing is gonna change. But I'll still hope.
Oh I totally agree. Sorry if I misread.
It's clear Spencer said that when they were losing NPD just to kinda deflect and get people not to ask him questions about it. You're right. When they started to win clearly the usual players boasted hard.

Ahh good point and one I made in that famous thread as well. It just didn't make sense to me that an XB1 owner would be a proponent of UHD or 4k TV's, the main function of the console which is gaming hardly does 1080p on any major release.
To fuel how important UHD was just so odd, since there were hardly any UHD blurays on the market either.
Ha lol, but most of these UHD proponents didn't even have 4k TV's. Some couldn't even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p weeks before... I'll tell you something, there's no way I'd have bought a 4k tv to hook up to an XB1-S. However, some spoke like they had XB1S hooked up and they were in gaming glory, even when most titles were at 900p.
Anyway, I think PS4 winning was clear. People were just waiting for the Pro to launch to buy one, especially since it was only $100.00 between the Pro and the OG for substantial benefits on the upside. One thing is certain, there is a market for both PS4 models, and I think Slim will still do pretty well these holidays, but I'd wager that Pro will have the bigger numbers for the holidays over slim.

In some ways the Xbox One S was a more enticing upgrade vs a regular xbox than the pro vs regular ps4.
But that's the thing Ps4 has won 3 out of 4 November's this generation. Yet somehow people cling to the one X1 won and make it the norm.

I was but a 1 year old baby when it released!
I also ended up watching a bunch of older Disney movies, but even they feel the effects of time. Especially so when they keep on making quality movies every other year, new fans can just focus on the newer stuff. In any case, super off-topic lol
I remember that gif dates back during E3 2013 when everyone was going crazy over PS4's $399 price point. Pretty much where the "King has returned" memes started.

Because MS "deserved" to win, whatever the fuck that means. People just cannot seem to grasp that people see different values in the consoles. I still remember GameFAQs circa 2014 and all those "How is Sony winning? They have no games!" threads.
