I have to say that NPD is boring with out TigerSuperman lol!

It really is, his banning has actually become a disservice to the board

Microsoft is going to kill holiday season

And the PS4 will also sell well during da hollydayz.

And the PS4 will also sell well during da hollydayz.

Sure, but less. Closing the gap in USA

@FastRobby: will it close the gap enough to counter the rest of the year where the ps4 widened the gap further though?

@misterpmedia:

Who the hell is still buying Minecraft? I guess all the hand-me down 360s in the states... But why does it sell better on the bone? Makes little sense. Unless the bone is owned by more 10-14 year olds do to them associating xbox in US last gen with most popular..

And why the hell is nintendo spouting off about stupid Amiboo sales... you people are still buying those? Personally, I don't see the appeal. I grew out of action figures 30 years ago... but to each their own. Also shouldn't that be in a toy sales chart, not game software and hardware sales. Should sony and ms push masterchief merchandise and lbp plushies for software sales too? jeesh..

1 - What was the % rise last month for the Xbone?

2 - 7 million Amiibos!? My god almost all Wiiu users have one.

3 - Shocking all over the board - Gears lost to Madden and Minecraft , Rare lost to Lego , Dawn lost to Rare and Batman lost to all of them...oh and COD if anyone cares.

Sure, but less. Closing the gap in USA

I think MS has to be a little disappointed...they are trying everything and still can't get ahead. With that said, I think they will take the next 4 months.

I don't think they can take september with the Destiny and MGS bundle that was release. The Oct-Dec is a toss up for sure. We don't know if Sony will drop the price for the season.

I hear TigerSuperman is predicting that the Xbox One is going to win September.

Ha.....kind of anticlimactic here without him though....

Sort of a boring month, results-wise. Congrats, Playstation 4. Again.

PS4 will continue the momentum from winning E3 2015 and subsequent NPDs

Closing a gap by a little in less than two months is hardly killing it.

Last year November, December combined they outsold the PS4 by 600k... So that's killing it. If they achieve the same this year, they will have outsold Sony in 2015

@Zero_epyon: The only reason I added September is because the XB1 was the #1 trending topic on Yahoo the other day lol....not very scientific but the last time I saw that happen it won the month :P

Right now the PS4 is 800,000 units ahead of the Xbone.

Which number is larger?

PS4 is ahead in TOTAL. I'm cleary saying on a year basis. Sony isn't 800k ahead in 2015, they are 800k ahead counting since November 2013.
