[Hoho for breakfast]

No news yet? I'm still saying Xbox Won (Ha!). If it doesn't beat PS4 for the month I really don't think there's any hope for it ever competing. Again though I do think it'll win. I just don't see how it couldn't with the deals they had.

30 minutes guys

30 minutes until it's 2 hours and 30 minutes away.

 

[Aquamarine]

I am the wrong tree up which to bark.

You're a good man.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Yea the only question is how big the gap is. Ibelieve that it's pretty significant.

I'm thinking <= 20%

 

[Kagari]

Guys, the question is no longer IF, the question is BY HOW MUCH.

Guessing it'll be close.

 

[Deadly Joker]

It's unlikely there will be any salt. The consensus is that the Xbox One will have sold more in November NPDs, and that probably happened.

The only way there would be salt in this thread would be if:

1. The PS4 performed an upset.

2. Hindle was unbanned.

3. Xbox One outsells PS4 substantially. Like 500 - 600k.

 

[The Shogun]

You're a good man.

Have fun tonight Aqua

They are thirsty as all hell.

Wait.... Fml. I had my gifs ready. I'm going back in the bunker.

 

[cakely]

Hmmm... really? Halo MCC sold better at your stores?

go home jomjom

you're drunk

There is simply no conceivable way a single-platform title is going to take the #1 spot in November NPDs.

 

[Windom Earle]

lol I swear people never remember the NPD time.

there was that one guy in the bf thread that said his store was doing 5:1 xbone heh

In my opinion PS4 doing 50K or less better than Destiny month would be pretty bad.

 

[cleveridea]

should be a good NPD month

interested in how well the amiibo things are selling too, do they cover those and skylanders figures (vs the games)

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I think had MS not quickly sold out of the SSO bundles, PS4 would have gotten destroyed. As it is, I still think they'll get beaten by a fair amount, but not a huge amount (200k+?).

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I wonder if Nintendo is actually going to start getting more store space allocated for it again to hold all of the Amiibo. Their space has been cut down so much that they can hardly have decent displays that can hold all of the upcoming Amiibo so they're stuck with retailers stopping orders for half of the current 'wave' just so they can stock some of the new 'wave' that will sell out in short order due to the craze for them right now. I wonder if they'll be able to take up more space once the next couple of waves come out or if retailers will still be reluctant to stock Nintendo stuff in large quantities.

 

[Floridian]

Can't wait to witness the pre-typed posts on the first page. The one from september was funny.

 

[BokehKing]

The only way tonight will be interesting is if Sony won
Otherwise isn't this the most expected victory of the whole year?

 

[Welfare]

lol I swear people never remember the NPD time.

And I can never remember that bundled sales don't show up in the top 10 software.

We are all forgetful.

I think hydrophillic attack got warned last time. We won't be seeing another one.

the AC bundle is better deal though isnt it?

the BF week $329 deals with 2 games (AC) and in some cases even more (like target $50 gift card) mean they should have shifted a ton of units

 

[Cidd]

I bought an Xbox one on Black Friday but man I would like to see Sony win November just for the meltdown it would cause some posters in this thread.

ridiculous.

 

[vinnygambini]

I have my gifs ready

naw itll be interesting if xbone won by a larger margin than most people are predicting

Poor Hindle, cruel world. Xbox wins, and he is in exile.
I am sure he follows this discussion anyway.

 

[Bluekaveli]

lol I swear people never remember the NPD time.

I'm never in the thread because the outcome is always the same but this time, I am here. I'm ready.

 

[Fangrim]

I can't see XBox losing November. Every news article I've read has pointed in that direction.

What I'm most exited to see is Microsoft's PR rolling out the "We won!"-guns ;o)

After months of silence, I expect a massive PR-speech ;o)

 

[BokehKing]

3. Xbox One outsells PS4 substantially. Like 500 - 600k.

That wouldn't be a remarkable story either, I mean look at the price compared to this time last year. This was their time to move units, especially to people who already own a ps4 and are looking for a new console

 

[cleveridea]

so the AC in the xbox one bundle arent counted right?

be interesting how well unity sold. given how many "limited edition" copies I see in stores (first run only I believe), they didnt shift according to their expectations

 

[Mpl90]

I have my gifs ready

If that "holy" from CosmicQueso is a good "holy", we'd need some new "It prints money" gif. Something like Shiggy and Iwata putting Mario's figure on NFC sensor on Wii U, money coming from the screen and the writing "It unlocks money!".

 

[Gurish]

If MS won by a huge margin than meltdowns will happen as well, but yeah if MS wins by a reasonable gap it's pretty much expected.

 

[Interfectum]

I don't know if its fun, sad, crazy or all the above but it seriously feels like a sporting event is about to happen (or has occurred and we're about to hear the results). Console wars man.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

30 minutes guys

You're such a tease.

Also open_mouth got banned didn't they? Ah I'd of loved for more "waking the sleeping dragon" -type lore.

 

[DarthWalden]

Believe it or not it was the #3 best selling title on the playstation store last month behind cod and GTA.

Forget hindle. Statham should be here to celebrate the return of the king. Free statham!

 

[The Shogun]

There were a lot of copies moved in bundles. I'm interested how much MS payed for Unity to be bundled and how much Ubi is getting back for the lost sales.

 

[slavesnyder]

With the deals and price slash they need to dominate November and take a sizeable chunk out of that 1m lead in the US the PS4 has. Anything less then a 200k-300k gap (if it sells 1 million total) will be a disappointment.

I was told that MS doesn't care about the gap, only about their sales target. so xbox and ps4 will sell huge loads and everyone will be happy.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Nope.

 

[Miles X]

30 minutes guys

For what? 0_o

 

[slavesnyder]

you are right, i forgot about statham and his winning smile getting banned. this is a shame.

Free statham!

sign!

 

[BoboBrazil]

If MS doesn't beat Sony at $70 cheaper and 2 free games, they are seriously screwed. To be honest when I went to stores on Black Friday, there was much more activity in the Xbox sections though.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

the AC bundle is better deal though isnt it?

the BF week $329 deals with 2 games (AC) and in some cases even more (like target $50 gift card) mean they should have shifted a ton of units

Well yeah but I mean if the SSO bundle had stuck around and had those same deals, I think it would have been a huge seller (and imo a better deal because of the white console and AC Unity being a lousy game).

 

[Elandyll]

there was that one guy in the bf thread that said his store was doing 5:1 xbone heh

My guess is that he works at a store where they have "Playstation customers not Welcome!" in the front window (like my local Gamestop)?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

I'm tired of waiting for NPD so I've prepared two posts in advance.

1. Not surprising. XBO had great deals this holiday. Would have expected them to win by more though.

2. Wow! Even with all those XBO deals, PS4 still managed to win? There's no stopping this beast!

1. Welp, December will be the interesting&#8482; month though!

2. KazHirai.gifs everywhere

 

[CosmicQueso]

1. Welp, December will be the interesting month though!

There it is! Was waiting for this.

 

[Bold One]

The Age of Sony is done,

I for one welcome our new Xbox overlords

 

[SighFight]

Uh it's getting crowded in here. Are there any chairs left? And can someone open a window? This is going to be very fun to watch, no matter the outcome.

 

[Bluekaveli]

For what? 0_o

Well my dumbass thought the numbers come out at 1pst. Apparently the thread gets closed?

 

[Patapwn]

You're a tree!?

 

[The Omega Man]

no no if we are going to do this right we have to release the master of them all, free thekyle!!!!!

 

[cleveridea]

And target additionally gave a $50 gift card which really was an incredible deal, easy to see people tempted to switch given those kinds of savings.
