That would come under 'conjecture'. Why not post some alternative legit sources then and add to the thread, or do you just come to troll?

Either way it's fine. Peace.

Its always quite sad when people that have no real actual argument feel they can use pathetic redirection to make their case. It really makes it obvious how weak their original position was...

Yes I'm trolling :rolleyes: - just like making an 'innocent' thread about next-gen console sales when the last official values were announced a fair while ago - or did something magical happen with the VGChartz sales that you felt needed to be discussed? Remind me what vital questions you posed in the OP?!?

At least attempt to put some effort in and verify your source for this 'conjecture' - generally when a source extrapolates sales in particular regions because it has no ability to calculate them and then invariable gets it wrong and has to fudge them after release by using more accurate numbers from the likes of sales tracking companies NPD and Media Create it seems near useless data to make inferences from. This isn't some industrial secret...

[comment removed - that's enough of the bickering]

I don't know why people are so obsessed with console sales figures. If it was a case of one selling badly I might understand but both consoles are selling really well. The PS4 is doing amazing, but haven't both consoles surpassed sales expectations.

Somebody mentioned that this generation consoles were almost like last generation in reverse. Well I agree, in more ways than just numbers sold. This time round the Microsoft console is more difficult for developers to get to grips with. But just like last generation, games will be coming thick and fast for both ps4 and the xbox one.

Please feel free to use any source to share any info on any console. There is no agenda here. Post about PlayStation, Nintendo or Microsoft.

Yeah I agree, and your opinion on the sales is right both PS4 and Xbone are selling well, as sales talk always come up in other threads, thought it might be good to have a thread that all of that kind of stuff could be directed to. Like you said PS4 and Xbone are both selling well, much better than a lot of people predicted, as many thought console popularity was tapering off. Even though Xbone is behind Wii U, the Wii U has had a massive head start, so Xbone could overtake it at some point. Nintendo will have to keep pushing out quality games if they want to stay in the race..

And with that link you have just proven how wholly idiotic your whole viewpoint and general comprehension is - I keep giving you the chance not to have it spoonfed for you - please ratify your sources as they are making you out to be a bumbling fool.

I'm sure when hindsight hits you, you'll realise
