...both consoles flopped? or are my numbers wrong

That would explain the low-key PR...

 

[allan-bh]

FAKE PR, that's better.

 

[Rymuth]

I can't believe I refused going into surgery to save my life for this....

D:

 

[Ryng_tolu]

... Oh god... this was a terrible month.

 

[Toki767]

XB1 274K?

Ouch...even if you guess that most of those are Halo 5 bundles, that would still put Halo 5 sales well under other Halo games.

 

[Elandyll]

That's gotta be a joke (cf what gets quoted with the clown nose)

 

[Kathian]

Wow, this is going to be an eyeopener for you.

Look if you want a conversation stop speaking in code. What are you actaully saying - am interested to know but you're not making it easy.

 

[Nirolak]

Something is coming: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/11...aign=Blogroll&abthid=564523e2c37c738e5e00001b

IGN seems to have not understood that this is month 2 of NBA 2K16 though.

 

[Striek]

The death of console gaming is real.

 

[Mpl90]

Wait a second. When did PS4 price cut in US start? Beginning of October or second half?

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

guys thats bait

 

[Welfare]

PS4 performed terribly for a $50 price cut.

 

[ByWatterson]

XB1 sold 168K last year which means:

XB1 ~274K
PS4 < 274K

much lower sales than everyone expected.

That's just the press release from April with October inserted.

 

[Gurish]

XB1 sold 168K last year which means:

XB1 ~274K
PS4 < 274K

much lower sales than everyone expected.

WOW that's horrible!

Holy shit, with such numbers no one can say they won

Jesus.

That's disastrous.

 

[Guymelef]

Really really poor for Halo launch month.
Really really poor for price drop month.

Time to upgrade my smartphone.

Halo 5 was the best selling game at retail in October in the US. I guess that answers the "Is There Hype Around Halo?" question.

 

[Mar Nosso]

PS4 sold less than 274k on a price cut month? What the flying fuck?

 

[Blanquito]

PR doesn't know what to say about such low numbers for both consoles, so they're sitting there in silence. Meanwhile, my father's corpse grows colder...

 

[psn]

Yeah, the hype went a bit too real there with the PS4's supposed victory.

Like I said on the first page. Halo month is still Halo month.

Do you know sth everybody else doesn't?

 

[Xenus]

Belly flop

Did someone demand a recount at this point?

 

[ViciousDS]

Oooooo boy that's not good. Only 274k? That's brutal for a halo month.

Holy crap I can see halo not being #1 potentially now

 

[Patapwn]

Incorrect Patapwn!

[DriftingSpirit]

"Halo 5 best selling Halo 5 in the history of Halo 5"

Beautiful.

 

[Boke1879]

So Halo 5 really didn't move consoles and the PS4 price cut failed to send it into orbit? That's what I'm getting

 

[super6646]

Halo 5 best selling game this october: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/11/...nnounced? hub page (front page)&utm_content=2

Now, just for the consoles.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

That is an old PR release that was posted here

 

[theprodigy]

wait hold up did he just bait everyone

 

[Kathian]

Guys next year its going to start winding down. This gen has been massively front loaded and the audience is clearly tightened around a core.

Sales are going to fall but software will continue to do as we've seen exceptionally well.

 

[Chamber]

Did you guys not see the wink?

GAF pls...

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol people bit on the PR/fake numbers?

 

[ByWatterson]

:O

Everyone understands this is just a PR line from April, right?

"As the best-selling console in the U.S. in October, fans set record October sales and engagement for Xbox One last month, Xbox One console sales in the U.S. increased 63 percent in October 2015 compared to October 2014 and Xbox Live comparisons showed the number of active global users [Xbox One and Xbox 360] grew 24 percent. We are grateful to our fans for their passion and support."

Ok.

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

Stop falling for it! Lmaool GAf!

 

[user_nat]

Ok,that makes sense then. Halo didn't carry the Xbone it good numbers, it just prevented it from flopping as hard as the other guys.


Oh it's fake lol
