This console might die early like the Wii U. Stop releasing next to PS, just give up already.

Chris said PS5 was down 4% MoM in Oct but it was still the second biggest month of the year by a lot. He implied consoles sales were bad tho.

What an asshole since Starfield came out

He should have specified that it was still a very good month for the PS5 despite the slight decline.


Otherwise, until now :

PS5 (678k) > X/S (312k) + NSW (342k)

Noone cares about MoM stats those are useless. YoY is far more important, this Dring fella always trying to spin it in favor of Xbox.

 

[historia]

omg how catastrophic.

4000 units down. Imagine that

 

[Danja]

Y'all turning on Chris lol. He's a good guy who is trying to avoid the constant online harassment. Nothing he said alluded to it being a bad month for PS5.

His tweet implied PS5 had a good month but Xbox dragged everything down.

Some of y'all really need to take a breather lol

 

[nongkris]

You should change your headline to the YoY stats @Gods&Monsters , don't let the hater control the narrative with his sudden usage of MoM. We all know sony held back stock for the PS5 revision.

I agree with you but using MoM% instead YoY% is just weird.

Months have different numbers of weeks and others factors that affect them.

For example October to November will always have % increase but that doesn’t tell nothing… a console can increase sales from October to November (expected) but be a lot down in November (that is bad).

MoM is just useless.
Usually November > September > October.

He said the full report is coming tomorrow where he'll reveal everything. He was just giving a quick update in his defense.

I did glimpse him saying YoY hardware is down 10% but guess we'll find out tomorrow, hopefully.

Sony drank MS’ milkshake, ate their lunch, shot their dog and fucked their mom.

What is this strange feeling? Agreement? With Ethomaz? On sales?

To me it's obvious he lost it and became full xbot fanboy like everyone else in the media. He changes the way he reports the numbers when it makes Xbox look too bad (MoM, no comparison with previous entries, digital split, no platform split), he was cheering Activision, made up numbers for Starfield (bigger than Diablo, biggest new IP, 12 days sales vs 3 days) and look at this. Playing dumb to defend Xbox as usual.



He's an idiot. Good thing Jim Ryan stopped making interviews with him. They saw his real agenda.

Wow I didn’t see this and he’s actually arguing with people in the comments “I don’t see EA or Ubisoft there either ”. I’m glad people are calling him out.

It's the usual deflection the ambassadors use to protect Xbox only this time he can't say "But Sony!!!" because Spider-Man is there.

 

[DForce]

It's likely Starfield is going to see a huge drop on the GSD charts. I wonder what Chris is going to have to say about it when the data is released. He's probably going to get upset at some people on twitter again.
