yeah thats right, the series s must have made some movesSo
Nintendo > MS > Sony in unit sales for December.
It's a surreal day when December NPD thread, the most important NPD of the year, does not get much attention
series s you mean? I think it was probably the majority. I don't think we have the numbers to guess the percentages.The fact that MS beat Sony in unit sales but lost in total dollars means the Switch sold most of the Xbox units.
That was my interpretation of it, too. Sounds like more of us green rat army types!series s you mean? I think it was probably the majority. I don't think we have the numbers to guess the percentages.
it did come out on December 8th, have a F2P section and was on GP, maybe thats a factorHalo infinite doesn’t crack top 20 for 2021 all platforms, and is #7 on 2021 for Xbox platforms (between Forza at #6, and AC Valhalla at #8).
Call of Duty ranked as the best-selling video game franchise in tracked dollar sales for a record 13th consecutive year.
lol yes, the series s.series s you mean? I think it was probably the majority. I don't think we have the numbers to guess the percentages.
They'll sell it on other systems, but they'll give it out like Skittles on Game Pass.Glad to see a healthy US video game market where all three seem to be doing well!
And soon to be an Xbox console exclusive. Wow.

Probably my fault. I bought an oled switch in December.So
Nintendo > MS > Sony in unit sales for December.
Well it is a good deal, especially if you don't care about 4kThe fact that MS beat Sony in unit sales but lost in total dollars means the Series S sold most of the Xbox units.
No they won't. People thought the same about Elder Scrolls and Starfield and look at where we are at. If a single game in a franchise has sold over 30 million (Skyrim) and MS makes future games in the series exclusive to Xbox, there is no reason to expect them not to do the same with COD. I'm sorry, but in the near future if you want to play COD you'll need to buy an Xbox.They'll sell it on other systems, but they'll give it out like Skittles on Game Pass.

Could have still under performed given the gulf between typical call of duty and second place is as wide as an ocean, but it beat halo which isn't exactly small potatoesI was assured Vanguard flopped. Where do I go to refund that bullshit take?
Or people just need to stop buying that overpriced under powered Nintendo Switch, but seriously does the mass market not read all these internet forums.Next gen stock issue needs to end asap

If Microsoft never acquired Activision Blizzard it'll be a success.. Neogafs logic...
i see some of you in denial lol.And soon to be an Xbox console exclusive. Wow.
i see some of you in denial lol.
I'm sure people predicted a console storage years ago. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that is clearly ignoring facts.These threads used to be hundreds/thousands of posts long, with “BEAST!” being shouted in every other post, along with much gloating. What happened?
just like Minecraft lol Microsoft ain't taking cod off the bigger userbase they aren't stupid. no amount of game pass subscribers will make up for the loss of the sony userbase.Microsoft likes money, so they'll release COD in a way that maximizes their long term money, which is why it will only be on Xbox and PC once any contracts are up

I assume you meant shortage? Also not sure why that matters. What facts are being ignored?I'm sure people predicted a console storage years ago. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that is clearly ignoring facts.
Lol there’s more pressing news this last week is allThese threads used to be hundreds/thousands of posts long, with “BEAST!” being shouted in every other post, along with much gloating. What happened?

We know Sony can produce more consoles than MS, and we know that December is always the highest selling month of the year so they want their product on shelves then. People speculated for months that consoles were being held back for December. People also said repeatedly that no one was buying the Series S since it could be found in stock in some stores.
It’s just funny the difference in these threads when the results are Nintendo #1 and Xbox #2. I’ll probably get banned for saying it though.
is was a lie from the beginning. they never fool me that's for sureI remember posts saying console sales don't matter. What happened?
just like Minecraft lol Microsoft ain't taking cod off the bigger userbase they aren't stupid. no amount of game pass subscribers will make up for the loss of the sony userbase.
They don't matter, but it just casts aside any doubt that most people that "care about console sales", only care because their side is winning.I remember posts saying console sales don't matter. What happened?
People can't say "it doesn't matter" and then talk about how their games will attract players to the Xbox platform.They don't matter, but it just casts aside any doubt that most people that "care about console sales", only care because their side is winning.

This is what happens when people try to go with two different narratives.
You're proving my point.
PlayStation consoles are still having stock issues and that's why it's not higher on the NPD charts.
You can ignore facts all you want, but this is the truth.
So Xbox series #2 for December but all of 2021 for #2 best selling console is PS5.
You're saying they don't matterWhere are my two narratives? I don't care if COD goes exclusive because I don't play COD, and already play all my 3rd party games on Xbox anyways so the only way this acquisition affects me is through Game Pass becoming way better. I'm just saying logically COD going exclusive is more likely to result in more revenue for Microsoft than keeping it on Playstation, therefore I expect Microsoft will make it exclusive unless Sony agrees to Game Pass on Playstation (which is almost certainly never happening). Hence why Bethesda games are all becoming exclusive once contracts are over, and why Xbox isn't porting games like Halo or Forza to Playstation. The Xbox/Game Pass ecosystem is worth more than any amount of sales they could get on Playstation (even for something like Call of Duty)
Everyone is having stock issues. That still doesn't change the fact that Sony ships more units worldwide which means less stock in certain regions.And Xbox is still having stock issues too. Sony can produce more PlayStations than Microsoft can Xboxes. They both have stock issues, that’s not an excuse.
You need to try find a new point because that one doesn’t make sense.
They don't matter, but it just casts aside any doubt that most people that "care about console sales", only care because their side is winning.
You're saying they don't matter
You're also saying MS is attracting people to the MS platform by making games exclusive. That means sales do matter.
