How are PS4 sales at 2.57 million rounded down to 2.5 million, while Xbox One sales are rounded up from 2.26 to 2.3 million and 3DS sales are rounded up from 1.47 to 1.5 million?
Another poorly written article William
Everybody knows he's a incorrigible MS fanboy, most articles prove that.
On the title it says PS4 2.6M? and Xbox One 2.3M?
Lol, rounds PS4 down but XBO up. Seems legit xD
Not that it was even close but why is this comparing Wii U's OCTOBER numbers with XB1 & PS4's NOVEMBER numbers, also 3DS, Vita, PS3, 360 & Wii are these November or Octobers numbers? A little confusing.
I think it was a typo
It says those Wii U sales were for October. Was that a typo?
How appropriate, we round up our consoles of choice while running down all other we tend not to care about.....
So XBOX ONE gained no ground on PS4? If things return to "normal" the XBOX ONE will have an even greater hurdle to climb next holiday season.
I'll wait for the official numbers from NDP or from both of Sony and Microsoft.
Damn!!! That PsVita Sales! =( Sony needs to do something fast!
Best thing they could do is it kill it everywhere besides Japan
Thanks for taking the time and posting the totals.
Even though I might be slowly turning into a PS4 fanboy. I'm taking the high road. I'm not like the other guys.
So the Wii U will be over a million or close to 2 by the end of December?
