CoD this year being 100% current gen exclusive will move some consoles in November. Believe it or not the last gen versions of BO3 still moved a decent amount of software

Hmm, there's one gap that's closing I suppose...
Indeed. I never doubted the old gen BO3 would do to terrible, really. Multiplayer and Zombies were all some people needed.

I feel like there's a lot of sarcasm being thrown around in regard to Microsoft's PR. I'm just gonna say, it's actually brilliant. They are doing their job to utter perfection. Imagine how hard you'd have to look to work out a statement that makes their victory sound as simple and total as that, that also happens to be completely true, despite the fact they are actually losing pretty badly in their core market.
I'm unbelievably impressed.
I'm unbelievably impressed.
If VR flops, if Sony sleeps on price promotions and marketing, if Xbox releases a slim next year along with a price drop + nice bundle and Sony sleeps like in 14.
Otherwise, I don't see it anymore. Maybe an April/June slip off after a hot PS4 month ala Bloodborne last year - this year being Uncharted's month...
Maybe...

lol yes, even Bayonetta 2's first month beat both of their first months combined
I'm assuming Microsoft meant for the whole year, while CosmicQueso inadvertently spilled the ranking for December specifically
edit: oh wait it's possibly excluding last gen stuff? oh my this is next level

200k for XCX is good. Lets hope it has legs for months to come.
What a difference a year makes.

MS still won 2 months in 2015. They'll win another one again sometime in 2016. Sony is winning in NA but its hardly a blowout
That's a number.
Oh my god guys I'm only 120k off so far?!?!?!?
Here's hoping 3DS sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 510k.

So I guess "this generation" also means they're only counting current gen games? i.e.
Star Wars: Battlefront (Electronic Arts | Xbox One, PS4, PC)
Fallout 4 (Bethesda Softworks | PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (Ubisoft | Xbox One, PS4, PC)
edit: I see I'm late with this ha!

You call only winning 2 months out of 12 not a blow out with price advantage ?
Hahaha, this would be fantastic.
Surely not. Incredible spin if so

All right but yes I agree with you I have a strong feeling that we will get more current gen only games this 2016, I mean it is time

The gap after December last year was what? 800k or 700k?
Seems like Sony made up last year holiday damage with a bit on top. I say not bad for Xbox with price parity in place. But again, that's short sighted, Spring will not be kind.

Math checks out looking at either Dec or 2015 year.

There is a 4.5% LTD marketshare difference between the 2.
So no that does not qualify as a blowout. Global is a different story

Bundles probably make all the difference.

It seems what occurred last year was all for naught. It just delayed the inevitable.
It's not a question of possibility. It's a question of how. Exclusives won't matter this year..Sony is by all definitions packed everywhere with something. They got multiplats on board + VR.
So it's going to be an Xbox One slim ( I don't think MS can pass this year without announcing one or they'll get rekt) and a price drop promotion. Sony while trying to push VR will also drop the PS4's price to encourage both PS4 adoption and VR adoption... so the way I see it. an XB1 Slim + some luck out of a genie bottle.

All they need is a good trade in promotion in a slow Spring / Summer month to pull it off. They've done that exact thing and won the month before.
I think people are forgetting how small the gap is in many of the slower months of the year
