They couldnt be doing that? Would they? They didnt specify
Npd is tomorrow, all will be clear

Just want to remind you
November 2013
"Xbox is the fastest selling console"-900,000 in 9 days vs PS4 1,000,000 in 1 day,


So maybe they did, maybe they didn't do that.  
Either way, the company has had blatant PR twists.

MS kinda left 28th out on purpose lol

Oh true, I didn't realise 21st-27th is saturday to friday. Okay I'm starting to believe this more and more. Still, we shall see tomorrow. If these claims are true then NPD will be a disaster for them

Disaster in terms of what, though? Being down YOY? The XBO could have still sold well, but likely not as well as the PS4.

Their PR has been masterful.  Painted in just the right light to show victory.

Yeah if they are up just 22% up in bf week this year over the week before black friday from next year then they had a shame npd.

If they had a good npd it would be clear they didnt do that. If its sub 1 million, i guess thats what they would have done

People are suggesting they compared their sales to last year without using BF and claimed they were 22% up. If they were only 22% up on last year - without last year's BF sales and with this years - that'd be pretty awful.

Well we already know XBO sales were up 22% for the week in UK. That's a fact with no spin.

A 22% rise for the week in US seems reasonable. Makes sense XBO would be up YOY.


Plus the numbers make zero sense if Microsoft is excluding BF 2014. The math works out so that if BF is excluded in the 22% YOY increase, then in reality XBO had about a 30% decrease. Super unlikely imo.

A lot of Black Friday stuff started Thursday last year too.

Yeah it seems unlikely that they left out BF 2014. The numbers would have to be awful and they wouldn't be boasting.

Watch XB1 be #1 in NPD now... that would be crazy
