I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

I knew we should take these numbers with some skepticism.

Something did not seem right.

Time to abandon the thread

 

[Boke1879]

Yup. CBOAT is done if this isn't true. We really need an estimate or something.

What the eff mang?

Sony's silence is deafening.

For real?

Who is right? Who is wrong?

Find out on the next episode...of NPD!!!!!

lmao shit.

 

[cakely]

Well, this thread turned out MUCH more interesting than I thought it was. I'll keep checking back to see if those numbers are real. In the mean time, congratulations, Microsoft!

I thought there wouldn't be any salt in this thread but there's already been a bit of a meltdown, just not the way I imagined it.

What devastating costs? Are you a MS stock holder? Do you know their detailed financial plan?


It comes down to this, the brand is healthy and you guys are talking out of your ass.

 

[trixx]

Smash hasn't outsold Mario kart?

 

[Schryver]

Please welcome the new king of last gen.

I don't even know what this means lol

 

[AngryMoth]

That 1.2m is most likely worldwide (or U.S. + UK) since it doesn't specify a region.

That doesn't really make sense unless Tom Warren got that number from a MS contact. Most likely he is just getting it from NPD

 

[Cidd]

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

This just got even better.

 

[TomShoe]

Come back in about 5-6 hours, that's when it gets really fun

Ugh, that's like 1 AM.

I'll be studying anyway, but my point stands.

 

[adin75]

The fact remains that this was the first game of the regular season and xbox eked out a victory in overtime. You guys can rationalize all you want but it doesn't change the fact that Xbox is now 1-0 and Playstation is 0-1.

Didn't MS win the same 'game' last year? How did the rest of that season play out for them?

Gratz on the win though MS

 

[NateDrake]

So if we assume similar sales on digital on the Xbone & PS4 as the WiiU and 3DS (a reasonable and safe assumption, IMHO), then both CoD and and GTA V sold more than 2.2 million each (retail + digital). Pretty damn good.

No. Smash 3DS is from Oct. launch. It didn't sell 1.5 just in Nov.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

=0

 

[JumpJeff84]

Maybe Dragon Age sold a bunch on PC, which would not appear on NPD? And maybe it sold a lot digitally? Maybe?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

That would make sense.

 

[orochi91]

This is way better than anything I've played recently

More twists than a JRPG.

 

[jet1911]

This thread is about to get hilarious

Heh, it already is!

 

[TraBuch]

So if cboat is wrong, that means that the 1.2 million that Warren mentioned could actually be just the US.

First it was China... Then the UK... And now good ole North America has stepped into the light and made the Xbox One the best selling console. Plastered all over Microsoft's hallways are "We're Number One!l posters, no doubt.

Which territory is next? Germany, perhaps? Japan?

While Sony takes its eye off the prize and is distracted by the hackgate fallout, Microsoft adeptly swoops in to take its spot at the top of the mountain. The Xbox ecosystem couldn't be healthier what with next generation consoles ahead of last gen by 80% and with the Xbox 360 quite possibly overtaking Wii as the top selling console of last generation in the coming years.

The history books will be rewritten... This time, with green ink.

FFS Why do I come into these threads

nice trolling, yup Germany is next lol

Clearly something is wrong now

Pyrrhic victory breh

 

[Raist]

omg another plot twist.

 

[magnumpy]

lmao! literally everytime the Wii U underperforms with a new game, Nintendo fans start saying "______" will save the Wii U. its not going to be saved. Skyward Sword only sold around 3.5 million copies and that was on the Wii which had an install base of 100k+. Zelda U will be lucky to get close to 1.5 million units imo. the system is dead. as great as Zelda U looks, no way people buy a Wii U en mass unless the Wii U's price is dropped to $199 or lower. argue all you want about the value of the sytem but clearly its current MSRP is doing the system little favors, especially when retailers had PS4's and Xbox One's for around $300 during November.

well ZeldU will be the first title I'm interested in on the WiiU. so there's that.

if you're waiting for a price drop on WiiU from nintendo I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

[Lexxism]

7-10k dif

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

Things are getting interesting lol

 

[creamsugar]

PTV LTD < 39K

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

To those saying 'Nintendo lol wow Microsoft' etc have you not noticed that hardware sales are down almost a quarter from last year and microsoft have had to take massive hits to get the decent sales this month? I know we had two console launches last year which skews the year on year comparison a bit but I don't know how anyone can not be worried about the viability of the industry as it currently is.

Seems like one company should be worried about consoles sales alright.

It rhymes with your username.

 

[Einbroch]

I'm out. I'll check back later tonight when the actual insiders post numbers.

 

[arevin01]

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

BOMBS Dropped

 

[AmaterasuOni]

So how much did Microsoft lose from each console because of that reduced price? I mean, if it's $100, then MS lost $120,000,000 last month. If we can use this kind of rude math. And who can call this a victory if Sony sold the same?

Grats to MS anyway, I really thought Sony would win.

 

[Guymelef]

Can't wait for MS's NPD Thread simulator.

 

[Feichaw]

What will this mean for Mass Effect 4?

People were pissed at 3, so the situation is similar to DA 2 -> DA:1.

Well, Mass Effect is a bigger franchise, so it'll naturally sell better.

I don't know if the situation is similar. A lot of people didn't like Dragon Age 2 as a whole, due to a lot of motives. But with ME 3, as far as I know, and from what I see on GAF, reddit, and BioWare forums, people still liked the game a lot, having issues only with the ending (yes, I'm aware that some people hated ME 3 entirely, but I don't think they represent the general opinion about the game).

Edit: wait, cboat is wrong? Wow!

 

[RM8]

Don't need to get invested so much.. They are just systems to play games...

WiiU has the most emotional detractors, it's interesting. I could understand Wii salt since it was a massive success, but WiiU?

 

[Blanquito]

NPD thread's like a good spanish soap opera.

 

[Deadly Joker]

I love cboat, but in this case he is not correct.

This. Thread. Just. Won't. Quit.

 

[wachie]

It's on the first page.

Thanks.

And I admit I got carried away looking at those Wii U numbers. Sorry

 

[allan-bh]

cboat meant 710k. Xbox One crushed PS4.

 

[Ricky_R]

If the difference in sales is really that small I dont see how MS can be pleased.

They might be happy that they sold well and are able to put some positive PR out there, but after all those great deals and discounts it must be frustrating.

 

[Jawbreaker]

That doesn't really make sense unless Tom Warren got that number from a MS contact. Most likely he is just getting it from NPD

Well, if cboat is wrong, then it would make sense that those are indeed U.S. numbers.

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah, at this point he should be banned. It seems the train went off the rails...

...Stil, not buying the 1.2 millions number just for US...again, it's such a huge first November that MS would've been absolutely proud to state it in their PR. Heck, is the PR posted on Xbox Wire now? I read it wasn't, earlier.

 

[Ty4on]

Unless the gap is bigger, and cboat is fucking with us.

That could make things interesting...

Edit: Me and my lack of F5-ing (and you and your reading of old posts)

 

[theprodigy]

Please welcome the new king of last gen.

360>Wii LTD finally?

 

[Miles X]

Christ, and look at how people just blindly believed CBOAT.
