Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
I get to a point with NPD sales etc but as usual don't global sales matter more? Also if xbox won one NPD month why does it seem it is such a big victory? If they cna keep it up absolutely then I understand but if it's just Nov and possibly december but this go back with ps4 winning from January on, then whats the point really?

If that's a reference to the Phantom console. Bravo.
GameCrate people just can't keep their mouths shut can they :lol

Xbox wins, but by how much!?!?
It would be their second, back when the PS4 was supply constrained.

Tweet already gone, what did it say exactly?
The gif is funny but I don't think Sony made something wrong, just Microsoft was more agressive this month.
IT BEGINS
A huge kudos if it is over 400K.
That was my initial thought, but that's incredibly unrealistic.
Anything over 100k is fine with me, 250k plus is noteworthy.

Needs to be first post in the actual thread.
The size of the gap this month would be a secondary consideration to sales sustainability going forward for Xbox One I'd have thought.
Their 2015 schedule is incredibly weak for at least the first half of the year, and if they put the price of the console back up in addition to this then 'winning' November will end up being ultimately meaningless.
I know you're probably being sarcastic, but you can probably expect this to be the actual narrative for at least the next month.

Cause this is the monthly NPD thread.
That is exactly how it went down.
I think it really means more for us, the fans, than the companies who 'wins' each month. But it does give MS some good news to build their sometimes iffy PR out of.
Yeah, Im lost. He deleted the tweet.

He did? Weird it still shows for me.

I know, I was kidding (hence the
).So, we got the obvious out of the way. Now the wait starts for numbers/piecharts.
I wonder if we can get percentages.

230k would get rid of the gap in sales from last November. That's a good start.

Much appreciated. I still quite haven't figured out how to use the cached stuff on Google.
Since it's taken down, I'm guessing any more leaks out of him are impossible. Hopefully someone else steps in.
I have a 4 hour exam that starts at 6:15. I can't go 4 hours of missing GAF craziness.

but didn't the XB1 start off with the lead?
But the gif needs to show the Xbox guy taking steroids (Huge price cut) in the locker room to be accurate.

I'm sure the NPD ninjas have a tight watch on the GameCrate staff after they were taught leaking numbers on their site months ago.

Looks like a US banner in the rail or something
just to indicate this race is only for NAEdit. Anyone has a link of that video, i can' imagine how the guy actually losing must have felt xDU
We don't need Microsoft, we have people with NPD data.
And not winning but rather reducing the huge leap by 1/10th

Well, that depends on the perspective. Not sacrificing their 399 US$ price point cost them November for sure. Then again, there is no way in hell MS can go back to 399 US$ after what they did. If they do they will very soon realize that they failed to gain any momentum. And fail to win any other month from this very day on unless they are considerable cheaper than their competitor.

any guarantee that we'll actually get that information?

If the Xbox does win, props to MS.
The way they've managed to turn the console around is magnificent.

Sony was literally coasting, celebrating its victory, when at the last possible second, Microsoft, with determination and skill, snatched away victory.
