About what I expected. lol that MS PR spin though. Not its worst ever but still pretty lol
I'd be pretty damn shocked if Sony doesn't price the Pro at $299 next holiday season for when Scorpio releases. That along with all the bundle possibilities and MS is gonna have another steep hill to climb.

Can you imagine how lame the bookmark folder is.
Sure. The real deal is xbox one vs ps4 minus ps4 pro.
Last month ps4 vanilla sold alone 800k + 300k of ps4 pro. Could it or have sold better in december or ps4 pro started to gain share of ps4 vanilla?

Why do I bother reading Twitter comments? Is it too much to ask for civil discussion? "Gonna break pony legs!". Are these grown men talking?

Adult in age but mentally still children.
It's a PR about NPD in a NPD thread, no need to denote US, nice try turning into something it's not.
Didn't MS include UK in their NPD release a few years ago?
Not sure, but that's irrelevant at this time.
Not just any grown men though, but grown ass men with kids. Just smfh...

Ok I will rephrase :
MS: Xbox one is the best selling console in the second half of 2016 in NPD.
Sony: MS spin game is strong because PS4 is the true best selling console in NPD.
Probably still about 2:1.

Switch, sure. I don't know about Scorpio.
I think it was near 2:1 (talking ww), so far as we could tell, but not quite.
Now. It's probably squarely 2:1 or very, very close..
Which is why many are saying that the 360 is very likely ahead by now (launch aligned), with 53.4m PS4 sold (a 2:1 differential putting the XB1 around 26.7m vs 28m at around the same time for the 360.
But think about it now.
Worldwide... We are looking at the PS4 having sold equal or more than PS3 + 360 combined in the same time frame... Possibly (I don't have charts to compare).

Might even be a bit higher now. Sony is going to mop the floor in Q1. MS's strategy of "let's just release everything at the end of the year" is really not doing them any favors. Maybe if it meant they win in the holidays but that hasn't worked.

Sony's response should be
"I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you over the sound of another one of your exclusives dying."
In all seriousness, even the months the Xbox One outsold the PS4 were hardly significant. Whatever gains they boast about were at best ineffective and negligible at worst. They lost the two biggest months of the year...again.

Looks like Sony was correct in their predictions about the relevance of UHD drives.
LOL at that Greenberg tweet. Someone should ask him how much risk he takes when he tweets nonsense.

I'm not sure why some people said UHD means shit after this month's XB1 sales.
Not something change everything of course, but i don't see UHD end up means nothing.

Is the reason why they use "pony" only because it rhymes with Sony??

It means nothing in the grand scheme of things.....UHD is barely a thing right now. Most people have 1080p TV's still and bluray never really overtook DVD, UHD will do even less, streaming is taking over. It's niche.
Sony Pony is a common insult in these sort of topics.

It doesn't even make sense, at least come up with something clever, that's just stupid.
It's not like Microsoft had different predictions about the relevance of the format, they had wrong predictions about what Sony would do with the Pro.
If only they had known they would have gladly decided to keep a higher profit margin for themselves.
But it's too early to tell where UHD is headed, I think that it will never become mainstream and nowhere as successful as Blu Ray, but depending on support by movie majors it could still be a successful and active niche product for videophiles. Biggest problem right now is support.

But how is that even an insult? All I see are two words rhyming with each other.
Ehhh the insults are never really funny. It is like typing out M$.

It's not like XB1(S) doesn't support streaming, UHD is a thing that give people more option and add value, so it's something, even it's niche it still something helped it, just like many games labeled as niche games(by sales), but it still pushed for some people end up choose that console(yeah, mostly PS4).

And yet you ignore the fact that "hardly significant" was still more than the ps4 brothers managed in "the two biggest months of the year."
Ms should have just said....
Xbox had it's best month ever. Since the introduction of the Xbox one S, Xbox has been the number 1 selling console in America.
Nothing wrong with that.
As for WW numbers, I don't think anyone that lives in NPD territory really cares who leads WW. They haven't had any effect here in the USA ever if I look back to the first pong console I had as a kid.

Not arguing for some it's a thing, a nice extra feature. but the overall market? No it isn't not in any meaningful sales numbers.

You sound like you know how many people buy XB1S because UHD or not because UHD.
Please tell it then.
