The actual percentage of what people explicitly pay for software at all on a mobile device (and it's bigger than you think, particularly when you include "ad supported" as a revenue stream and is not solely videogame related) doesn't actually matter as much as who owns the market that sells that software and the platform it is run on which is a much bigger ongoing battle, and notably one that MS is losing.
Like, I don't care how 'hardcore' the console gaming market is as a niche, the numbers involved are nowhere close to being comparable. It's really not a coincidence that basically every single manufacturer in the technology sector is both simultaneously focussing all of their R&D efforts on mobile devices and forecasting all of their growth in sectors related to mobile devices.

I'm very glad that this topic has stayed alive until the next NPD Preview thread. It really shows how excited people are for next month.
The next NPD Preview thread is going up sometime on Saturday.

Super late response, but no one is bias free. IGN as an organization does not have a Xbox, or PS4, or a Nintendo bias. Their individual members do. That will color how they report news and the language they choose to frame it. That is not inherently bad nor good, but human. If you spend enough time watching and listening to IGN you will know whose spin you trust and whose you do not. Giantbomb and even Polygon are no different. They are not "helpless" they are fucking people. And yes, I have a ABD in International Cooperation and Development studies.

Where is the PS4 on the Amazon rankings, XB1 is number 3 and the PS4 isn't even on the first page. I'm starting to think XB1 may actually win November.
What in the world would make think PS4 would win NPD AT ALL?
The BF bundle barely went live while the xbox one has been live for awhile now. Give it a few hours to see any changes on the charts.
I'm rooting for you!
The PS4's been outselling the Xbox One for a year. The last couple months have been nearly a 2:1 ratio.

Stronger brand greater mindshare and bundling withn GTA V honestly I expected XB1 to win but I wasn't expecting it to be the PS4 one Amazon currently by that ranking. The top 3 selling items for a long ass time were prepaid PSN vouchers with the PS4 itself not far behind.
but this is BF season I assumed the ripples would be much faster knowing well everything else.
Why would you expect the GTA bundle up there when it only went live literally like one hour ago? Amazon hasn't updated in a while
I wonder, what will be the next month thats going to be interesting?

Just setting up a narrative so that he can act pleasantly surprised when the XBOne sells more in November.

Primetime is when Aaron Greenberg says so.

It looks like nov could be a 2:1 month for x1. No way Nintendo or Sony can compete with a company that doesn't have to make a profit. I really want to see what kind of carnage happens when they unleash some Minecraft nuclear a-bombs + more price cuts next year.
2:1 is difficult. PS4 is a popular console.
$329 with $50 gift card and free games makes it easy. It's cheaper than ps3 and 360 nearly, lol.

A 2:1 month isn't going to happen.

Now that would be funny to see. The reactions would be nuclear.

For those who enjoy taking a look at the Amazon rankings, I'd imagine that tomorrow and Saturday's will be the most important, as those are going to take into effect the bundles and flash deals that are going on today and tomorrow.

Maybe. I think everyone has to admit that a $279 ($329- $50 gc) x1 with a brand new AAA game is killer. PS4 and even wiiu look really bad in comparison.
It definitely is.

Haha, that would pretty much close the gap that the PS4 has in North America. Definitely not happening this soon (if it ever does).

whoa now, let's not get too optimistic about Vita sales
what's the 360's price for Black Friday?

I can't remember the last time I bought hotcakes.
Well the Wii U is selling like them
Perhaps but people have shown all year they're willing to pay $399+ for a PS4. Factor in the whole thing of if person wants X thing then they will likely make sure they get that thing regardless of price.

I thought they were doing a $99 bundle.
I recently bought a nicely warm cake, just out of the oven.
