You do realize the fact that you keep track of all these people speaks more ill of you than it does of them, right?
VoodooProject's link is a failure b/c NPD results for Nov 2016 aren't even out yet...And like @butchertroll said, over 90,000 was October's Xbox One margin
@Doctor_MG "Especially in regards to games like Minecraft, Rocket League, and even Gears of War 4. These games are much more likely to be downloaded digitally than purchased physically."
Minecraft & Rocket League are more likely to be bought digitally more than physically, but thats only because both games started out digital only. But I doubt you can find any credible source that will show over 50% of Gears of War 4 sales were digital. (if you can please li...
@Imp0ssibl3 "I think this year Microsoft exclusives have been better so far, with all the delays."...."with all the delays"???? Are You Serious?
Are you seriously using PS4's delayed games as a reason why Microsoft's exclusives were better??? Now its fine if that's your opinion that Microsoft had better exclusives in 2016. (nothing but respect for your opinion)
But the "with all the delays" part is ridiculous. ...
@FITgamer "Yeah but Cyber Monday doesn't count towards November NPD, which ended on the 27th. Those sales will go towards December." -- Your absolutly right...But PS4 Pro preorders (the preorders prior to Nov 1st) also don't count in this report either.
Wow...And none of this includes any PS4 Pro preorders? (Or I guess the Pro preorders from Nov 1st - 9th might count...But none of the pre Nov preorders)
Yeah its looking pretty good for all platforms... But there is some new (new as of the time I'm writing this comment) info that PS4 did 50k better than Xbox One (in UK) for the week of Black Friday (link: http://gamingbolt.com/ps4-s... )
Yeah...Sony's doing good things now...The hardware is sick & the software is sicker
Also: PS4 did 50k better than Xbox One (in UK) for the week of Black Friday (link: http://gamingbolt.com/ps4-s... )
Yeah...Sony doing BIG things...Great 2016 line-up...Even better 2017 line-up

Wow...PSVR "on track to outsell the combined sales of HTC Vive and Oculus Rift". And all I kept hear from the haters was "PSVR is a FLOP". Well I don't see how the market leading product (which is set to outpace the combined sales of the other major home VR solutions).....is a flop
@xDealtwithIt -- "sparse line up from Sony" -- ROFLOL...(ALL OPINIONS OF GAMES ASIDE)How many RETAIL Exclusives did Microsoft release in 2016??? How many RETAIL Exclusives did Sony release in 2016???
@xDealtwithIt -- "Damn, it's already looking bleak for Scorpio with devs worrying about parity from the Pro.
I hope devs make the scorpio the lead platform and then work their way down to fit the PSpro." --
ROFLOL...I WISH people would read the article before commenting. It would at least make them look like they knew what they were talking about!!!
Here let me help you read Paragraph 1, Sentence 2...It says:
"But eve...
@Lennoxb63 -- "Even if the Pro is $300 by the time the Scorpio releases, it still won't look odd for it to be around $500."
In your scenario, you don't think Scorpio would be hurt by a $200 price gap? Were you gaming back in 2005/2006? PS3 was destroyed when they were $200 more than the 360. It was only after they dropped their price that they started gaining ground.
@whitesoxfalife1976 & All Others Who Think Scorpio Can Survive Being $200 More Than Pro: Do me a favor & read this article of how Microsoft Execs reacted to PS3 being $200 more than 360: http://www.ign.com/articles...
[For the majority of consumers] PRICE will be the biggest comparison factor between Scorpio & Pro. ...
@moldybread -- "PS3 sold rather well and that was $599 ten years ago" -- PS3 did get off to a rocky start (and actually coined the phrase "Wii60") & when it did start selling better it was during WAY better economic times (compared to today).
"After all exclusives on the PS4 that are system sellers are few and far between. People act like Sony has all these exclusives but software sales show only a few per year actually matter to the mass market...
@bruce755 "The game does suck though. It got pretty low ratings all around."
Adr1ft's average score is 64 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ). If that game sucks because of its low ratings all around then what do you say about Recore - avg score 63 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... ) or Ryse:Son of Rome - av...
It does suck that not everybody can play this game. I guess this is yet another example of why gamers should own multiple platforms. But what's even worse are the people who have to claim the game sucks just to justify their hurt feelings.
Neither one is all that secure. I don't keep credit cards on file for either of them...Trust one or both if you want...NOT ME
@moldybread -- "If the Xbox One S is $249 when Scorpio arrives then $399 looks like a premium price."
If premium was all he said, I'd agree with you. But Phil also said "high-end consumer" & that has never correlated to a $399 console. He did say it wouldn't be priced higher than "recent" consoles. But "recent" is a subjective term (what might be recent to 1 person may not be for the other) . Vanilla XB1 is definitely ...
@BizarroUltraman "Leave him be.."
Really? Leave him to spamming a comment section 10 times with the exact same opinion? I got a novel idea: If you don't like how your treated...Start your own website!!! Then you (and like minded individuals can talk about whatever you want, without any negativity that you don't like). But spamming a comment section is pathetic
