Congrats to MS, they really went hard with the bundles and deals last month. I wonder how much they won by?

Its unfortunate those numbers are no longer leaked :/

7-10k dif

All that aggressive marketing for THAT?! Wow

 

[loaf of bread]

1,000,000 - 9,000 = 991,000

Damn guys the gap is closing

Wow. Nice to see MS win a month(though the GAF reaction to a PS win would have been sweet), but that might as well be a tie.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Looks like releasing Dragon Age on the same day as Grand Theft Auto and Far Cry was a bad idea.

 

[JumpJeff84]

They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now.

Microsoft should have left well enough alone and now they're going to get it. It's not enough that they're bleeding benjamins from practically every crevice of their devices division. Now they go and throw immense deals with bundles like the AC one just to piss off the market. Why pay to force adoption from as many gamers as possible? Why not put that money into first-party studios and games instead?

I know, I know... this is the way the business goes as they say. Well, they forced Sony's hands with their November sales lead and Sony only responded with an GTAV + TLOU bundles by way of just decent deals and value. Sony will undoubtedly follow this announcement up with some more real megatons of their own.

Uncharted remake collection. A true Crash sequel. New Killzone beta in the hands of gamers. The next Bayonetta, Dead Space and Crysis as exclusives. Those are the kinds of blockbuster response announcements I expect, and then some. You hit Sony with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.

I know this is a joke post, but man I wish it wasn't.

If true, then wow.

 

[jbug617]

I thought Sony would win honestly. That PS4 Black Friday Bundle is really good.

Also PS4 is sales monster

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Wait 10k difference? Holy shiit.

Anyway congrats to Ms.

USA? UK? or both?

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

COD and Madden killin' it on the MS Family™. All serious tho, they wanted it and they got it. Now I just wait to see how off my numbers were x3.

 

[Brew124]

WOW. I had a feeling it would be somewhat close. I had the difference at 30k.

The buttocks cometh.

 

[A_Gorilla]

This is the textbook definition of "Pyrrhic Victory."

 

[Plinko]

Massive LOL at that 7-10k difference. Drop in the bucket.

Nice to see Smash Wii U sell that well.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

No..........

That cant be true.......

Maybe he means between COD games or something?

Nope. Bigger difference than that with the CoD games, although a surprisingly small lead for XBO over PS4.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Sapphire > Ruby

The superior version won!

 

[DryvBy]

I said this in the other thread but I'd really like to see who had the most profits that month.

 

[Wabba]

7-10k dif

Haha, this can't be true? Have the sales ever been this close?

 

[Welfare]

lol I guessed MCC would be 10.

And seriously only a 7-10k difference? That is terrible, but also shows just how popular the PS4 is.

 

[Carl]

7-10k dif

Holy shit if true

 

[addik]

7-10k dif

got damn. I feel bad for MSOFT. They moved mountains just to get that number. At least the GAF meltdown was averted

Spoiler

It would have been hilarious though if it was 1k like that last time

We thought you were dead.

 

[The Shogun]

This thread already has posts trying to call this a failure from MS? Despite winning November and its best month ever? Get real

 

[RoKKeR]

7-10k dif

He lives!

 

[anexanhume]

Wow crazy. Hope its a big number for both of them.

I wonder how AC rogue did relative to unity

MS PR said it was their best month ever. Not clear if that's US or WW from PR, though.

 

[Amir0x]

7-10k dif

no.fucking.way. And is this between US and UK or worldwide or just one territory?

That's genuinely shocking. Then no i think December NPD might be Sony's anyway

 

[GhaleonEB]

The gap has closed.

Now to see if Microsoft can maintain their lead. December NPD will be interesting.

 

[Frag Waffles]

How is such a thing even possible?

 

[Cuyejo]

Pyrrhic victory for MS if true...

 

[Elios83]

LOL if cboat is right , gap closed indeed

 

[Kysen]

Gonna need some receipts on that cboat statement, no way was it that close.

 

[Chobel]

I find this very hard to believe. Just making sure, this is the difference between the sales of XB1 and PS4?

 

[Einbroch]

"Cumulative PS4 & Xbox One sales are now almost 80 percent higher than the combined total of PS3 and Xbox 360 sales after 13 months..." -NPD

Using 75% as the minimum increase and 80% as the maximum.

PS4 + Xbox One ranges from 1.79 million to 2.09 million.

If XB1 sold between 909k and a million, this totally makes sense then that there's a very small gap.

Holy shit.

 

[Blobbers]

Eh, so technically, if we combine PS4 physical sales and digital PS4's sold, PS4 actually might come out the winner for November too.

Try again next year, Microsoft.

 

[Mory Dunz]

People are premaking posts? what is this madness?

Yea...

 

[orochi91]

Dat 7-10k gain. The gap is closing.

LOL

Those "gap is closing" comments are hilarious in hindsight now :'D

 

[TheChaos]

I told you guys it wouldn't chart.

Wonder how EA feels about that. They put a fuckton of time and money into the game. Perhaps it sold enough for them?

 

[Chris1]

GTA well deserved

360 COD? Holy shit.

 

[Lakitu]

Just gutted that there's no Dragon Age there. Fuck.

 

[Savantcore]

Jesus. Sony probably sold 10k PS4s in the time it took to write the report.

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's wash in my book. Microsoft didn't win nothing.

They dropped the price big fucking time, gave away two free games and all they could muster is selling 10k more.

Once the holidays are over the Xbone will fucking plummet with the normal MSRP

 

[CMojicaAce]

7-10k dif

Holy shit

 

[bombshell]

Wow, so gap still almost the same in the US.

 

[xxracerxx]

Yeah...numbers.

That didn't take 3 years to finally get.

I hate this new NPD. It sucks balls.

Huh?

 

[Mooreberg]

Word of mouth hurt AC Unity. I am once again pleasantly surprised at the intelligence of the larger market. You brilliant, indifferent bastards!

 

[John Bender]

7-10k dif

WTF???
No! This can't be real!
PS4 almost beat the Xbone?

 

[Conduit]

7-10k dif

Xbone wins by a small margin and technically Sony is real winner! So much about Xbone deals, price cut's 50$ gift cards. DAMN! I say : DAMN!!!

then NPD thread gonna explode

Eh, after your E3 posts, Titanfall posts, and posts before launch, I think I'll wait for the official numbers.

Damn if true, though.
