PlayStation 4 on top in November next-gen console sales, according to NPD

http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/12/playstation-4-xbox-one-november-2013-sales/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000589

Confirming what we already suspected, sales tracking firm NPD reports that the PlayStation 4 outsold the Xbox One in North America during November. As of latest numbers, the Playstation 4 is in 2.1 million homes compared to the Xbox One's 2 million -- a great start for both consoles and a paltry sales difference. Sony released a statement from SCEA head Jack Tretton, which said, "Demand continues to overwhelm supply, but we're working hard to get PS4 units into the hands of customers throughout the holiday season." The full statement is just beyond the break. Xbox One, meanwhile, was apparently November's "fastest selling console," with around 101K sold each day of availability (November 22nd through November 30th). Since the PS4 was available starting on November 15th, and the Xbox One went on sale starting November 22nd, the Xbox One caught up in sales so quickly because of higher demand. Or as NPD puts it, "When looking at sales on an average per-week basis, Xbox One led PS4." Last month's Xbox One launch was also Microsoft's most successful console launch on record, which Microsoft's assuredly enjoying. Finally, we have Nintendo reporting a 340 percent increase in Wii U hardware sales since October. The folks in Kyoto haven't put an official number out there, but NeoGaf forum users have calculated a total based off past numbers. According to the best estimates available, Nintendo moved about 220,000 units last month. It's a low number compared to the industry's newcomers, but at least the 3DS closes the gap a little: between the 3DS, the 3DS XL and the 2DS, the company sold almost 770,000 handhelds in November.

PS4 on top for the month of November.

Sony Promises 'Epic' Announcements, 'Can't Wait for E3'
Some "stuff still under wraps," Sony says.

n response to the news that the PlayStation 4 had the "largest console launch in history," Sony responded to fans, saying "epic" announcements are coming.

Guy Longworth, senior VP of PlayStation brand marketing, said that Sony is working on supplying the PS4 with games, and that the company has some "epic stuff still under wraps." Longworth said he "can't wait for E3 now," according to the PlayStation Blog.

"We're working on lots of exciting updates and features which we'll get to you as soon as we possibly can," Longworth writes.

Sony recently teased a new Uncharted title at the PlayStation 4 All Access event, and a series of Tweets from the trailer's voice actor shed a little more light on the project.

The PS4 was the top-selling console in November, although the Xbox One launched a week later, and outsold Sony on a per-week basis.

I gotta give the PS4 this. Today I was playing Madden on the PS4 and a fuse blew. I lost power ... had to check the fuse box.
Thought to myself "No chance the PS4 reboots to the exact spot where I was playing Madden." It did. Blew my mind. NBA2k14 doesn't seem so rejoin your game friendly, but Madden 25 ... right where I left off. Couldn't believe it.

Don't know exactly off hand because I haven't unlocked a ton. But I am just looking for normal gameplay stuff. Special footballs, boots, jerseys. I don't use the boosts and am never online playing. Beggers can't be choosers though so I will take anything being gifted because at my rate of play I'll never amass the coins at a fast rate.

Gifted you a bunch of stuff, wouldn't let me send anymore so I'm assuming there must be a daily limit or something, I'll try again tomorrow see if it lets me.

Was this online or vs the CPU?

I would imagine vs the cpu. If you turned your console off it would immediately disconnect from the session.

Dave had me confused with the NBA 2k14 doesn't rejoin the game friendly. As if playing a friendly online. Would be nice to give a 60 second window for that.

Sorry, haven't been on VSN all day. Just noticed this. Like Twigg surmised, vs. cpu.

I'm finding getting online games in a pain in the ass because everyone here plays in a league.

I haven't used my PS4 nearly enough. Feel like it might hate me
