Selling better than they thought doesn't equal it selling nearly the same as the Slim.
My point stands.

Novembers NPD tracking period was October 30-November 26, 2016 so no FFXV numbers yet.

Yep. If MS hadn't come out with the Slim(along with UHD Blu-ray playback + HDR), they would've lost those months, I think.
Or at least lost one or two of them.

what the hell are you talking about? when MS won NPD for the first time in a long time it was also return of the king...as was months 2-4 of victories lol

Obnoxious OP aside...cool. Got a pro out of this so I feel included and obligated to say something lol
And leave Sony to rule by themselves with an iron fist? I hope not.
That said, there are tons of things that the Xbox platform needs to improve upon to be really competitive against PlayStation, and Scorpio's 6TF isn't the only answer.

Nah everyone says returns of the King. It's why the phrase has lost all meaning.
i think the issue now is to convince existing ps4 owners to upgrade which was their original goal. the way to do that is to show more pro enhanced games and make sure there are no bad patches and performance issues for the pro. Hope it is just launch issues and going forward pro enhanced titles show noticeable difference with less problems.

Let's try this:
"Microsoft just released a new console. If there was no XB1S Sony would have probably won their Nth month in a row. It's still amazing how Sony managed to maintain dominance in the US and only be beaten due to a new console release."
See how easy it is to spin things?

Anecdotally, the Pro was sold out for few days last week in the largest Prisma department store in Finland. A large local electronics store Verkkokauppa had its stock nearly depleted shortly after the launch, and increased the price from 429 to 439. No idea what kind of numbers they sold, but the Prisma clerk told me the demand had been high.
They need to be more global. They can't keep relying on the US and UK. Especially when you are losing both markets. The PS4 is roughly a bit more than 20 million units ahead WW on the XB1. It won't even reach 80 million sold even with the scorpio launch at this pace.

The S is for Second Place. they're good.
Eh the deals were comparable. People just look at price. And both could be had for $250. BB had a great PS4 deal.

Ouch!

I'd say he had a point for at least a minute or two.
Um, no. This isn't true. At all.
Madness will remember this post for December NPD.
Was expected. Killer ps4 slim sales coupled with Pro launch. Xbox One S couldn't outdo it. I wonder what the Slim vs Pro breakdown is.

why'd they separate hardware and software again?

The lack of world wide appeal is due to the original, awful, xbox one idea. I wish the scorpio was an actual next generation. So we could get a clean cut.
What about the Wii U?

For that, we just play taps.

But have you seen Knack 2?
Some may disagree, but I think the severe lack of Japanese titles is a huge blow to them. There are tons of Japanese titles coming to the PS4, the PC, and if we're being honest, sooner to the Nintendo Switch that will be sorely missing from the platform. Those titles really add to the diversity to the competition's game library. I guess they see no value in securing Japanese partnerships like they did on the OG Xbox and 360, which is a shame because Scalebound looks damn good.

I haven't picked up a pro yet. But is the pro UI faster than OG PS4?

It should've gotten Knack 2. Kick the handheld wars into gear again! Lots of opportunity there. Destroy the third pillar!
It's so quick you're back at Gamestop with the trade-in before you have even collected all 200 feathers.
Yes. It has an extra GB of RAM over the PS4 solely for the UI.

Much faster IMO and also quieter
but the ps4 was also very quite I swifer them every day
I think even then that wouldn't be a great move. Announcing a new console gen would upset a bunch of people. Especially with the Slim launching this year.
