Support NeoGAF

[Hidden One]

Sony needs to go on a 36 month streak

 

[gundamkyoukai]

holy shit and PS4 still having supply problems .
MS better do something fast ,

 

[DMeisterJ]

 

[Yawnier]

The struggle is real.

NPD thread will be glorious.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

How is MS going to spin this? Thats the real question here folks

 

[Deadbeat]

Plot twist: "Nearest" next gen competitor is Wii U.

Spoiler

Probably not.

If it was Gaf would be down for a week.

 

[jmizzal]

posting in an epic thread lol

 

[thekonamicode]

Yeah, but which one sold faster?

 

[RedAssedApe]

so much for people thinking xbone would outsell ps4 due to stock shortages...where's that woah face gif?

xbox's press release is pretty funny. no mention of consoles sold...just games.

ps4 has no games.

 

[Visualante2]

Tier gone country: confirmed

 

[SmokedMeat]

Glad to hear it.

 

[Dead Prince]

supply constrained.

 

[NeoUltima]

Not surprising to anyone who works retail.

 

[MrDaravon]

HOLY SHIT

Like, I think most people expected the PS4 to sell more, but I wasn't expecting dramatically more. If true, this completely debunks the "ample supply for ample demand" theory.

holy shit and PS4 still having supply problems .
MS better do something fast ,

They are: Titanfall. The question is, will it be enough? Only other thing I can think of short-term they could do would be a price drop.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Humiliating. Xbone down to PS3 levels it seems.

 

[enanogrande]

That is some massive drop off by the Xbone.

 

[Blueblur1]

Wow.

 

[Jarmel]

EA:

 

[Caronte]

Dat thirst.

 

[dreamer3kx]

"nearest next gen competitor"

Why didnt he just say xbox one?

They already did.

More importantly, it is gratifying for our team to see Xbox continue to prove it’s the best place to play games. January NPD Group figures released today revealed Xbox* sold the most games across all console platforms in January with 2.27 million units sold, making up 47 percent of software market share. Fans continue to show their excitement for new generation Xbox One games, with U.S. consumers purchasing an average of 2.7 games per console since launch. This amazing success is due in large part to our unrivaled games lineup, first class Xbox Live multiplayer games service and a platform for game developers that offers unique capabilities such as Kinect and Xbox SmartGlass.

The asterisk?

*Across Xbox One and Xbox 360

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Wasn't it almost equal or XB1 slightly ahead in Dec? Why the massive flip?

 

[Verendus]

There is obviously an error here. PS4 has no games so how could the console be selling? Xbox One has games and, more importantly, the best exclusives like the fantastic Ryse, the magnetic Killer Instinct, and the electric Dead Rising 3.

 

[Zornack]

All the while PS4 is supply strained and XB1 isn't?

Goddamn.

 

[Orayn]

You know that part in the song Rosetta Stoned where the guy says "HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT!" and it repeats about ten times? Yeah, that.

Well done, Sony.

 

[Talamius]

Plot twist: "Nearest" next gen competitor is Wii U.

Spoiler

Probably not.

What a horrible thing to wish on the GAF servers.

Spoiler

It would be hilarious.

 

[boeso]

Its not a sprint though right? Gotta save energy for the future. Let the spinning, commence.

Also:

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Doubling...and being hard to find.

Damn!

 

[ThePrivateCookie]

holy mother of cows

 

[scoobs]

EA:

Ya.. EA seems to have made quite a few boneheaded business decisions lately. This could be the dumbest yet.

 

[krypt0nian]

Yep. Yep.

Well I guess the early adopters are done. Xbox faces a giant uphill climb now.

 

[GeoramA]

Worldwide though, right? Not a huge surprise. I'm more interested in where the US numbers lie.

These are the North American numbers. PS4 doubled Xbone here.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Worldwide though, right? Not a huge surprise. I'm more interested in where the US numbers lie.

These are US "numbers".

 

[Proxy]

And the PS4 is still largely supply constrained for the most part. Looks like demand for the Xbone has definitely dropped.

 

[Wedge7]

lol this should be fun

 

[SmokyDave]

Surely not. I expect the PS4 to have sold more, but nowhere near that much.

 

[Mass Effect]

Worldwide though, right? Not a huge surprise. I'm more interested in where the US numbers lie.

These are US numbers he's talking about.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Dayum!

Didn't expect that difference.

DAMN! That was good.

 

[Jomjom]

Wow I wonder if PS4 could have sold 3:1 if its supply had met demand.

 

[illmatic22]

Muh New Zealand

Yo ShockingAlberto what happened to that Xbox momentum?

 

[MormaPope]

Hopefully this means a Xbox One bundle without Kinect for $350 or $400. Yeah yeah, "but the Xbox One without a kinect makes it almost useless!". Well, consumers are choosing with their wallets and the PS4 being cheaper and more capable when it comes to game performance is a bigger selling point than a Xbox One with a kinect.

 

[ZoddGutts]

GG

 

[XANDER CAGE]

How is MS going to spin this? Thats the real question here folks

Xbox One fastest selling console among more discerning consumers.

Also, these numbers are insane, I was expecting it to be pretty close considering neither console had any giant releases.

 

[sacrificengineer]

 

[ethomaz]

Dammit US is Sony land now.

 

[Zeppeli]

Nearly is not double. Great for Sony though, deservedly so.

 

[MrDaravon]

Also:

Geoff Keighley ‏@geoffkeighley 41s
Also, I'm told by Sony that @tombraider on PS4 outsold the Xbox One version 2:1

[giancarlo123x]

Well here I am...moments before Gaf falls.
