Yeah, I realized that after reading a few comments here. The clearance sales for the phat XBox One was the reason for this surge. I also hear that the winning margin was quite small; about 7K to 10K.
Next month they will probably win again due to launch of Xbox One Slim. It will probably cool down a little after that. Once the Neo launches, PS4 will be back on top again because of new hardware launch.
Well, it might be by a small margin and due to all the dirt-cheap deals but a win is a win. We have to give credit where it is due man. Damage controlling only makes one look like a fanboy and butthurt. I am saying this as a Playstation fan.

Lol. Yeah, I forgot to type the word "fan" at the end of the sentence. :P
It looks like the author wrote and published this article before Sony announced the Playstation meeting for September 7. The article is meaningless now and there is no "deception" involved.
I thought graphics and resolution did not matter for Xbox fans for the past few years? Fun was everything so why do you feel the need to gloat when Scorpio has superior specs? If you are not a hypocrite then it should not matter to you which console is more powerful.
Secondly, gamers do not buy PS4 because of resolution although I agree that it is a part of the of several reasons to a certain extent. Gamers buy PS4 because it has the best performing multiplatform games and ...
This! A lot of people do not even know about FoV. FoV is of utmost importance in FPS games where a wide field of view can prevent motion sickness and provide a greater view of the world. However, since it takes up hardware resources, developers on consoles often limit it to just 60 or 70 degrees at best. Some games like Metro have a FoV of 45 degrees only which makes the game very nauseating and severely limits your vision. Developers need to pay more attention to FoV when making games for co...
4K is the new HD and now everybody is trying to get their share of the pie. However, I am doubtful that it will be successful. 4K content requires massive storage space and internet bandwidths/speed for a consumer to consume. The improvement in visual experience and the benefits of 4K are also minimal for the average user. There is very little 4K content available to watch and 4K gaming requires massively powerful hardware that needs to be kept actively cooled. Finally, a good 4K TV that feat...
It might seem like a mistake but MS has too much time on their hands. They can bump up the specs too by December 2017 if Sony can do it by November 2016. It would have been a mistake if the time period until Scorpio release was much shorter. Then they would not have had the time to bump the specs. I am afraid that this new model will lead to a specs war between the two consoles which will not be good for gamer's pockets because latest or even just good specs do not come cheap.
Dude, if he is blindly gushing over it then you are blindly hating on it. Both of you have not played the game so nobody knows if it will be excellent or mediocre or bad. Let us wait for the release please and be positive in the meantime?
Some people really hate this game and want it to flop really hard. I have been waiting for this game for 10 years and I am right there with you when it comes to being excited for this game. I counting days until September 30!
On topic, anyone noticed the size of that Adamantoise!? Noctis is smaller than his eye!! O_O
I guess those alleged 10 million "sales" figure were just users afterall. Anyway, those are very good sales for a new IP in just over 2 years. Its release on three platforms including Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC definitely helped. Especially Xbox 360 which had an installed base of 80 million and the PC version which was being sold for just $10 including all the DLC. The EA Access's vault also helped a lot to achieve those numbers since it has been available for free since June 201...
I knew it was a fad but never expected it to be such a short one. The first couple of weeks everone is playing and people are mobbing public places. Share prices are skyrocketing, fanboys are gloating and articles tiltled "Pokemon Go is taking over the world" are being published.
A of couple of weeks later share prices crash, community collapses, people are demanding refunds, fanboys go silent and the bubble bursts. FAscinating tale of Pokemon Go; it was the textb...
I can support that too. Nintendo fanboys are the most rabid bunch. You criticize Nintendo or one of their beloved exclusives and they immediately get their pitchforks and mob you. They send you hate PM, insults and threats. They even remember you and call you out and challenge you weeks after the initial arguement. I once pointed out the underperformance of a certain Nintendo game and they immediately started attacking me personally. I forgott about the incident but a few weeks later I happen...
The game and its cloudpower were all just smoke and mirrors like Project Milo. They just wanted to prove that they were not lying when they said cloud power will make Xbox One 3-4 times more powerful than PS4... by lying some more. Furthermore, they wanted to generate hype for the console to stimulate sales. Now they have nothing to show and know that they cannot keep up the charade any longer. Hence teh silence even though the game was shown three E3s ago in 2014 for the first time. Nobody h...
Hmmmm, that is a very interesting notion. It never occured to me that 6 TF might be the combined processing power of CPU and GPU. It is entirely possible given MS's track record with PR spin, lies and smoke & mirrors. The purpose of that announcement was to take out steam from any potential PS4 Neo announcement and it is very possible that MS used a spin to make it sound better than truth. A 6TF GPU in a console still seems too expensive and the amount of heat it will generate will be...
