Tell that to activision, dice and ubisoft.

I think they would agree with him?

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Yeah, probably they will have a emergency meeting today

Nah, Sony knew during PSX that they had lost.

 

[TheTwelve]

I think Sony keeps things as they are, bundles galore because they have the software to do so in the first part of 2015, then pricedrop only when X1 gets their heavy hitters in 2015.

 

[vpance]

$249 XB1 + 2 games + 1 year free XBL + Vita.

Black Friday 2015 will be beastly.

The deals will be so amazing and renowned that they'll sell 90% of their consoles in primetime, handily beating PS4 2:1 YTD. MS is playing chess, not checkers.

 

[NahaNago]

Probably soured opinions after DA:2, and it was never as popular as Mass Effect.

That was pretty much the reason i didn't get it, was convinced to get da:2 because of the love someone else had for da:1, was not a fan, so i didn't get da:3.

 

[GamerJM]

So everybody is just speculating at the moment and nobody knows which of these two pie charts is true?

Meh, I'll come back when there are real numbers.

No, black is definitely the November sales. Blue is LTD though personally I think it's 360/Wii/PS3 and not PS4/Xbox One/Wii U, though I'm not really sure on that one.

 

[Doukou]

We know MS sold 1.2mil and Wii U 240k, only Sony is speculation.
Both Pie charts are true, white is LTD and Black is Nov.

Pages 47 and 53

All I see are stick figure crotches. Or butts.

 

[MaulerX]

It is not a firesale though. It is a 50 dollars price reduction after a year, with limited 70 dollar sales on certain days in limited quantities at certain retailers, with typical holliday game bundles in the mix.

Removing Kinect and selling the console at 100 dollars less does not equate to a 100 dollar discount. Despite any greivances people have with Kinect, that hardware is not cheap. And these claims of MS taking a substantial loss on the XOne holliday deals seems to be assumed, and not substantiated.

Agreed. Removing Kinect and selling it separately for $150 is not a price drop. They just created a Kinectless SKU that quite frankly should have been there from the get go.

Black Pie is November. White is LTD.

You can get pretty close to solid numbers with the info we have.

We have WII U numbers and that Xbox 1 was #1 in November.

 

[theprodigy]

No, black is definitely the November sales. Blue is LTD though personally I think it's 360/Wii/PS3 and not PS4/Xbox One/Wii U, though I'm not really sure on that one.

if that was the case 360 and Wii would be basically indistinguishable

 

[Patapwn]

When Sony drops the price I think it'll be $100. This will force MS in an awkward position if they keep xbone at $350. Although, people are saying money doesn't matter to them so they could just drop it it $250 I guess...

 

[GamerJM]

if that was the case 360 and Wii would be basically indistinguishable

....Isn't this the month 360 overtook Wii? That should be the case then, shouldn't it? They're neck-and-neck LTD.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

How much was the 360 on Black Friday? Why are people buying them (&PS3s)?

 

[MastaKilla]

I wouldn't be surprised if a Sony price drop comes alongside The Order or some other big game.

 

[Patapwn]

The deals will be so amazing and renowned that they'll sell 90% of their consoles in primetime, handily beating PS4 2:1 YTD. MS is playing chess, not checkers.

Dropping price is a pretty simple move. I would classify that as playing checkers

 

[bishoptl]

I have a feeling the Xbox One manufacturing costs aren't as high as many think. Sony was selling the PS3 at a $120 - $200 loss for more than two years and I don't remember people giving them **** for that.

Attempting to bypass a perm with a dummy account? For shame.

 

[Killer]

Sorry if it has been asked, but do we have the numbers for console sold?

 

[Korigama]

lol

Seriously, though. I'm glad everyone else is enjoying the new consoles, but I still don't see anything I want from them that I can't get from either last-gen or from portables. I'm sure that'll change eventually, but until it does, I'm in no rush.

 

[Conduit]

Black Pie is November. White is LTD.

Said by who?

Xbone sold 400k more than PS4. I don't see overall marketshare in that white pie.

 

[Doukou]

Attempting to bypass a perm with a dummy account? For shame.

Huh?

 

[Fdkn]

actually the first cream post today hinted that 360 has overtaken wii this month

 

[theprodigy]

....Isn't this the month 360 overtook Wii? That should be the case then, shouldn't it? They're neck-and-neck LTD.

yeah, but there's a pretty clear difference between the two larger segments, which lines up with the PS4/XB1/Wii U LTDs and wouldn't make any sense for 360/Wii (cause otherwise they would be the same size, you do realize both are roughly 42m right)

 

[MaulerX]

When Sony drops the price I think it'll be $100. This will force MS in an awkward position if they keep xbone at $350. Although, people are saying money doesn't matter to them so they could just drop it it $250 I guess...

Maybe that's what MS wants. Then 6 months later swoop in and buy Sony for going bankrupt.

[Kayant]

Meh, I'll come back when there are real numbers.

Well not exactly we know one is LTD and people have worked it out from there. The blue/white one btw(Click the original image), black one is november if am not mistaken.

Attempting to bypass a perm with a dummy account? For shame.

Damn loool

 

[bishoptl]

Huh?

Someone wasn't as slick as he'd originally hoped.

 

[Usobuko]

Sorry if it has been asked, but do we have the numbers for console sold?

Around 245k ish for Wii U, 1.24m for Xbox One and 840k for PS4.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Probably soured opinions after DA:2, and it was never as popular as Mass Effect.

Actually DA:O was apparently more popular than ME1 was, sales wise.

 

[hatchx]

240k for WiiU is just.....it's just horrible. Especially seeing the Xbox One sell a million more units than it (wait does that mean X1 sold more in one month than WiiU all year?).

I am actually shocked how out-of-line my gaming tastes are with the public.

 

[stryke]

lol...i knew it was jleack but didn't know his primary account was perma-ed

how can you tell?

 

[Patapwn]

Maybe that's what MS wants. Then 6 months later swoop in and buy Sony for going bankrupt.

Why would a $100 price cut bankrupt Sony?

 

[allan-bh]

Didn't chart though

November had many major releases, but was the best debut for the franchise.

 

[bishoptl]

If it makes the Nintendo faithful feel any better, I just bought a Wii U. I've done my part!

 

[C4Lukins]

Ha. How I wish I could see the behind the scenes wonders that you guys can see.

 

[Killer]

a million for xbox one? that's impressive. good numbers all around.

Welcome to the club. What do you think so far?

Ha what a dumbass

 

[TomShoe]

how can you tell?

Probably logged in from the same IP address or MAC address of his other account.

Smash?

 

[NateDrake]

how can you tell?

It was pretty obvious. His N4G name is JohnnyBigBoss as well.

 

[Doukou]

how can you tell?

The Snake avatar I guess was how he knew it. Guess he also used the same name in the registration email.

 

[Mohonky]

Generation differences and all that. I'm willing to wager a lot of Wii U owners belong to an older gaming demographic.

 

[allan-bh]

Actually DA:O was apparently more popular than ME1 was, sales wise.

True. Mass Effect sold 473k on launch. But that was on a single platform.

 

[MaulerX]

actually the first cream post today hinted that 360 has overtaken wii this month

We might have gotten to the bottom of it. We know the white pie chart is LTD sales but not exactly for what. Maybe it's tthe 360 finally edging out the Wii. Ratios make perfect sense.

 

[Mory Dunz]

515k for 3DS?

Hm, really bad.
They can only hope some people are waiting for the n3DS. Still not sure why they couldn't try to release it everywhere before christmas. Oh well...

 

[demosthenes]

!

What games?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lol...i knew it was jleack but didn't know his primary account was perma-ed

lol really? sad.

--

and damn. congrats to MS. i step out with cboat news and come back to see him banned (rightfully so, imo). 400K is huge. i had MS winning by 200K and i thought i was being generous. 2015 should be an exciting year all around. game on.

and damn. my original prediction was before i changed it:

[360] 75K
[3DS] 110K
[PS3] 50K
[PS4] 950K
[WIU] 250K
[XB1] 1200K

 

[Korigama]

Wii U's looking considerably better as a prospective purchase, even if it is dead last in sales.
