I'll say it again....PS4 sales at the end of 2015 will have surpassed the combined sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 for the same 26 month period. It is literally abliterating last gen sales patterns.
Looking forward to seeing how it fares in the black Friday sales. Not long to go.
Why don't you do weekly sales charts or pre order charts like you used to? It was the main reason I came to this site.
Awesome! :D Thanks.
Ps4 numbers so wrong.
PS4 up or down depends on how you cut the month. If you start the 2014 month on w/e 4 Oct and end on w/e 25 Oct then 2014 wins but you miss out on 6 days of Oct sales. But if you start the month on w/e 11 Oct and end it on w/e 1 Nov then 2015 wins and you only miss out on 4 days of Oct sales. Whichever way you go you get sales from Sept or Nov bleeding in to the official Oct sales, and you exclude sales from Oct. But what I can't get is a 13.5K difference. on a 4 week month you either get a 37K YoY drop or an 8K YoY increase. And of course if you make Oct 2014 a 5 week month and 2015 a 4 week month you get a much bigger YoY drop, but that's an unfair comparison.
