Today is not a good day for the Xbox brand, they even lost CrapGamer to the rice eaters tribe.

I don't get it... even the most clueless investor shareholder wouldn't care about hours. Is that number directly tied to a revenue formula? Is total hours part of their success measures?

I'm probably wrong on this, but I would imagine serious investors have access to actual useful data.

I don't think that statement is for shareholders. MS shareholders don't really care about Xbox as a whole. I don't really know who that statement is for though. Fans maybe?

Guess this month will take the #9 spot.

If you are some big shot looking to pour millions of dollars in a company, sure. But if you are a small time investor you'll have to guide yourself with the information companies provide you.

How about letting the game come out before Sequel/Franchise talk.

???

Not sure what you mean. Quantum Break being on PC too is going to cause more sales in comparison to if it was Xbox One only. That creates a better chance of a sequel.

Also, most AAA games are made with possible sequels in mind since making them are (obviously) risky these days so I'm really not sure why you felt the need to reply to what I said with that.

Xbox One doing like this in January in the US, just imagine WW.

This Console... oh man.

How was it suppose to do in the U.S. in a slow month like January?

Hmm, I guess the this January will most likely end up in this chart. 200K is still a decent number, though, if it really is north of that.

Haha, perfection, man! XD

I wouldn't base the year as a whole on January sales.

What do they have again that's not coming to PC? Unless they have a slim and a perma pricedrop, they're going to sell even less than 2015.

The Division in March, Dark Souls III in April, Homefront in May (maybe Mirrors Edge/Doom too, I'm not entirely sure tbh)

Those are not system sellers, don't expect them to win a month in 2016 unless a pricedrop occurs.

Well, January is one of the worse month of the year. So, i don't think is bad for PS4 be in that TOP 10.

January 2014 was insane, but because PS4 was sold out in December 2013 and they sold a lot of console in January.

Because the people looking to pick up a $350 console are going to go, "Oh, I'll just pick up an I7 and a 980ti instead" right?

Totally forgot today was NPD day!

Wow at GTAV... that's just incredible.

The rest of the list looks normal. I'm really glad Fallout 4 and Battlefront have continued to sell well.

The CrapGamer thing is one of the funniest meltdowns I think I have ever seen. This is serious business, people.

Anyways, GTA and Minecraft train never stops.

Not me who said it but I kind of expected higher. Judging by the prediction thread most did. It's up there with some of the worst months ever It's even worse when you realize we're talking about $499 for some of these numbers. That's if the rumour of worst Jan is true.

1) 77,000 (May 2014)
2) 115,000 ( April 2014)
3) 131,000 (July 2014)
4) 139,000 (May 2015)
5) 141,000 (Jan 2014)
6) 150,000 (Jan 2015)
7) 160,000 (Aug 2014)
8) 168,000 (Oct 2014)
9) 187,000 (Apr 2015)
10) 189,000 (Jul 2015)

Yep, as long as it's up YoY (but we unfortunately don't know Sony's definition of impressive), it sounds good to me. It definitely wasn't going to match the sales of January 2014.
