I made a poll (wooh!)

I said retail game because with digital included I think Overwatch would easily take it. I could be wrong though $:-\$

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 24, 2016, 01:26 AMYou know, there's a strong correlation between playstation sales dominance and how much I post here... the time I stop posting xb1 tops NPD and while I've been away its won every NPD and been top in the UK. And now I'm back PS4 is (should be?) back on top again. God I'm such a fanboy

That is definitely how this works. 100%.

Its crazy to think that it was a year ago when I was really into BF sales and I was updating this thread hourly with the amazon charts

Maybe your magic will help Amazon return to being a reliable predictor of the winning console, too

Exactly, so I'll just stay here and Sony can thank me later

Oh yeah I saw that its gone off. These last few months of sale have been weird. In my opinion a lot of that is down to the pro. Amazon being off, because pro pre orders are distorting it and xb1 winning because people are waiting for the pro. If NPD reveals the pro hasn't sold that well then the ps4 might be in a bad shape.

Xbox One S has gone down a treat. I think this is because they're really trying to make it look like an advanced new model. Naming it like the advanced iphone models and advertising it so. I guess that its a slight upgrade and it has the 4K drive so maybe they're right in doing this. I saw on game.co.uk that, in the console drop down list, xbox one and xbox one s have their own sections while the ps4 section covers base and slim. MS have played this one really well.

PlayStation VR set to eclipse Rift and Vive sales in the UK | Games industry news | MCV

QuoteEarly UK sales of PlayStation VR indicate it is already approaching the combined installed base of HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Initial PlayStation VR game sales are also positive with eight or nine boxed releases featuring in the Official UK Top 40 games chart (week ending Saturday 15th October 2016).

I would also put my bets on Overwatch being the best selling game of the year, not like we're likely to find out though.

Kerotan · Nov 24, 2016, 04:03 PM

Yeah psvr is just so much more appealing to the average consumer. and the Pro is sold out on amazon Japan again.

Really tough poll if we exclude Pokemon.

Uncharted could win with bundles.

Yeah I'm leaning towards pokemon but I think Overwatch could still easily take it.

Uncharted 4 would be an incredible achievement and its about a 0.1% chance imo

thats a massacre. it seems PS4 already whipped out any gains XB1 had in the last two months. it outsold it by roughly 75k in the past two weeks alone.

Yes... the last month XB1 sold more than PS4 by a small margin.

BTW it is the biggest week for PS4 excluding the original launch... crazy.
