No surprise here. As many already expected.

VentureBeat:

The PS4 was the best-selling home console in the United States in November, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Sony Interactive Entertainment’s system got a boost from the release of the PlayStation 4 Pro, which is a 4K-capable upgrade that launched November 10.

Wish we had numbers

 

[Trago]

Back to PlayStation domination.

 

[Rellik]

Yeah, expected.

 

[jmaine_ph]

THE KING IS BACK!

 

[sense]

Return of the King!

 

[JeffZero]

Well, there it is.

 

[chronic_archaic]

I'm eating crow for dinner I guess.

 

[Electret]

Wish we had numbers

Indeed. Might have to wait until January, supposedly.

I'm betting XB1 > PS4S, but since PS4P + PS4S > XB1, the Pro did pretty good numbers.

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

But is it a beast?

 

[jiggle]

 

[RPGamer92]

Should win December as well with the $249 price.

 

[Ray Down]

Xbox was keeping the seat warm for the winter.

 

[Athreous]

XB1 just outsells ps4 when ppl already have a ps4 actually...

 

[iMax]

 

[adamsapple]

The Pro-effect.

 

[Vitanimus]

 

[gundamkyoukai]

As expect with pro coming out that month .
The question is will Pro also help them win Dec .

Yea I just want to know the gap between the two

[ShaoranWright]

Nothing stops this beast!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Up or down YoY?

 

[dragonzdogma]

Sony , dont slack off now,
I bought a pro- get those patches happening , call developers-
no excuses checkerboard every single title ever released - pronto amigo.

 

[Trojan]

Expected, but by no means a given since MS usually has a strong Black Friday presence. Grats to Sony.

 

[Theorry]

No surprise really with releasing a "new" console in that month.

 

[Kyoufu]

XB1 just outsells ps4 when ppl already have a ps4 actually...

what

 

[Dovahking]

Who won Black Friday ?

 

[thekonamicode]

And this happened BEFORE the Knack 2 announcement. I expect a repeat for December.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Heh.

 

[alr1ght]

They both had fantastic bundles this year.

 

[LastGamer84]

 

[Boke1879]

MS is dropping the price starting the 11th as well. Both consoles should see a boost.

 

[Jonboy]

They had some great sales this holiday and the PS4 Pro had to have helped as well.

Slight aside...

I ended up buying 3 PS4 Pros...only kept one but with the all the holiday sales, I kept finding a better deal. The weird thing on the last one was I bought it from Target and they actually had a lower price just a few days later. They couldn't do a price adjustment over the phone for the order. I actually had to buy a new one and return the one I bought at a higher price. I wonder if retailers force them to do this to inflate the numbers?

 

[dragonzdogma]

I don't get it

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

Nothing stops this beast!

Except the Xbox for the past three months?

It would have been absolutely embarrassing for them to lose November. This is expected. December will be interesting.

 

[Sjefen]

I wonder if Sony will release a press release this time

No because when you return it it'll just subtract from next month's numbers.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Knack 2 announcement broke MS streak.

 

[WaterAstro]

Everyone was waiting for the PS4 Pro.

 

[pixellated_man]

Return of the king.

 

[illmatic22]

King ain't going nowhere folks.

 

[StereoVsn]

It will be interesting to see how big is the gap. For all we know it could be like 50-100K or less which would make it pretty insignificant for Nov. I am guessing it's going to be a bit more but who the heck knows.

 

[xxracerxx]

Knack 2 announcement broke MS streak.

December announcement travelled back in time to sell PS4s.

 

[StoveOven]

It's obviously people buying it for The Last Guardian

 

[LordofPwn]

Up or down YoY?

I thought Sony Said this black friday was the consoles best one yet so i'd have to imagine it was up from last year. don't remember any great deals last year either.

 

[Jawbreaker]

PS4 is a beast.

 

[Jonboy]

Right. It was still weird to me though. Happened with 2 retailers, both Amazon and Target. Maybe they (Amazon/Target) do it just to boost their holiday numbers?

 

[PR_rambo]

Your reign on top was short like leprechauns, MS

 

[pager99]

And this happened BEFORE the Knack 2 announcement. I expect a repeat for December.

Lol December will be a landslide

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I think the 50 million sales number release is the only thing we will get
