First post in the Neogaf thread was a winner. Fake Kaz twitter predicted this over a year ago.

Sounds like Battlefront did okay in sales.

Just an incredible amount of AAA games this month. Tomb Raider got buried by them and exclusivity.

Yep - Tomb Raider is apparently an excellent game (86 Metacritic). FO4 was an 87 on metacritic. TR just got burried being on the lesser console and the hype of the other big releases.

Also the Console War this gen is over. PS4 is owning XB1 and this is "without any games" according to PS critics.

Ps4 will definitely best Xbone but the One is still selling well. Ms will make money too. There is room for two consoles and competition keeps the price down for us.

In Europe, Yes. The Europeans have always been whores to the Sony consoles.

In Japan, Yes. Hardly matters as console sales there are minuscule as everyone over there is playing mobile games and having sex with pillows shaped in the image of their favorite Anime characters.

In North America, Nope. Still too close to call. If Microsoft had not completely bungled it's reveal, they would easily be ahead in the US, even with a marginally weaker machine. They are slowly making up for their mistakes and do not forget that the 360 absolutely destroyed the PS3 in North America. They did have the most sales of the #1 game on this months chart.

Two consoles?

That's right, two successful consoles.
