Call it 305k.

That is so bad. And PS4 was less than that, with a price cut? Sept and Oct have been so bad. Is this the beginning of this gen's downfall?

How the fudge does PS4 stay static month on month with a price cut!?!?!?!?

[Aura7541]

That.... is not good....

PS4 did 297K last October and it sold less than 304K this October....

Oh geez, yeah this is going to be annoying after all. Tons of heckling coming our way, NDC 9th, Halo 5 1st, X1 1st and most people won't have the patience or interest in searching through a huge Gaf thread for leaked exact numbers, especially since a lot of the potential hecklers hate Gaf.

I'm tired I'll be out soon.

October saw a modest growth in console sales, up just 3% over the same period last year.

XB1 up a large amount, so others will be down

If PS4 does 2 million in November NPD, the industry is not dead

Upcoming bundles in November and at least one popular bundle in September (Destiny), plus MGSV should have still sold a decent amount of PS4s.

True, XB1 went from 168k to 1.2m last year. PS4 could do similar with how well November is going. One can only hope.

To be fair though, Europe is still huge for ps4. US always seems weak in comparison

Yeah but this is not a good YOY performance these last two months. Nov and Dec will have to be huge to make up for it

[Aura7541]

I wonder how many of the 304K XBO sales came from the Halo LE bundle?

Halo 5 physical < 1.5 m
Halo 5 LE bundle < 304K

Yeesh...

current-gen consoles saw an increase of 12% which offset last-gen consoles, which saw a 66% tumble in sales compared to the same period last year.

XboxGamer22 2 MINS There were about 1.5 million X1 consoles sold in October of last year. 81% increase of that is 2.7 million consoles sold. HOLY crud!!
