The question is how "dead"?

And super-boring PR from MS:

Quote from: Microsoft PRAfter a record-breaking holiday, 2016 is off to a great start with continued growth in Xbox Live on the strength of the unmatched lineup of games available on Xbox One. In January, the total number of hours spent gaming in one month on Xbox One worldwide surpassed 1 billion hours. Looking ahead to this spring, fans can enjoy more great games with the upcoming releases of 'Quantum Break,' 'Rocket League' and 'Tom Clancy's The Division.' We can't thank our fans enough for their continued support and passion for Xbox, and we're looking forward to bringing more of the games and experiences our fans want most in 2016." – Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing, Microsoft

I know PS4 will up and Xbox One down.
Last year Xbox One had a crazy deal in January coming from December.

Oh lol, just checked PS4 january on the chertz, what the hell happened there?

Otherwise there's nothing really exciting to say about this months NPD it seems, hardware looks to be standard and there have been no retail releases either as far as I know.

What "record" did they break if the PS4 outsold them in everything?

Let's do maths...

Last year total: ~410k

This year...

PS4>192k
Xb1<153k
WiiU<48k

Assuming Xbox One did 150k and Wii U did 45k.

PS4 needs to be at minimum 215k.

That means PS4 is up at minimum 12%.

I expect more... cose to 20% and that will put Xbox One around 130k or less.

And so, the GAF thread has turned into a "What if" debate...

How about "What if the genius mods at Gaf didn't go ahead and ban their source for NPD numbers?"

The VGC thread is hilarious. "not good numbers for PS4. I expected this much" Someone else, "It still could be that much" The first person "I doubt it."

The salt is real... PS4 is up
YoY by over 20%... that is great.

What did he expect? 300-400k in January?
