I await my ambassador game.
stahp... I appreciated those ambassador games ;P
I await my ambassador game.
$399 with Kinect
Its not Xbox One though.....
Its "Xbox*"
How much did MS pay EA for the Titanfall deal?
Who does MS think they are tricking with this PR? Basically NeoGAF deciphers the NPD results and dishes out the message for the rest of the industry anyway
I await my ambassador game.
I was in Costco the other day and I couldn't believe how many XBones they had. They were stacked 7ft high 7' x 7'. Try we're selling for $475. I did not see any PS4's.
Kinda sad really.
Titan Fall almost convinced me to get one, but then I remembered I'd need to pay $60 a year to play it. I'll stick with my PS4 an wait for TF2 ( hopefully )
It'll get a bump, but I'm not sure it will pass PS4 numbers. People seem to forget that a lot of current X1 purchases will have been made with Titanfall in mind, not every potential buyer is sitting waiting until the 11th.
More like 4-5 million, people expecting this to do better than the likes of GEoW right out the gate are setting themselves up for disappointment.
They won't do that. They'll double down on mobile and micro transactions.If Destiny takes off and Titanfall flounders then it'll be another "fire everyone, then reinvent company as a wonderful, experimental gaming company" routine for EA like they did in 2009.
People should check the link on the OP. Dear Lord! It makes my head spin!
Weve seen over 740 million hours of fun on Xbox One across games, apps, and TV.
Our top apps showcase the diversity of entertainment enjoyed on Xbox One, including TV, Upload, Internet Explorer, Game DVR, Netflix, YouTube, Skype, Xbox Video and Blu-Ray player.
People are seeing the benefit of Kinect, with over 685 million speech commands used to navigate Xbox One, including 20 million commands of Xbox, Record That alone.
Xbox One connects families and friends in unparalleled ways. Over 1 million people have launched Skype on Xbox One, discovering the brilliance of large screen communication every day.
Guys. Why do we have to rush to play the xbone is doomed card? The ps4 could very well be in this situation in a few months time. It is selling great now but do we really expect lets say around 500k na sales each month? I dont think so and more importantly i dont see any games releasing in the next six months to even sustain those kinda sales. I think it is people who are even still embued with hype or early adopters who havent been able to pin one down over the holidays really making up the brunt of these sales. Id love to be wrong though but we really cant crown either system champion yet.
Supply contrains and all that but im not convinced that the ps4 can sustain these kinda of sales. In fact, i think it is wishful thinking on many of our parts because we want the industry to be healthy. Precedent shows that a generation is anyones game and it just takes one game or concept and your fortune can change. Hell, the ps3 made many many more plunders outta the gate and still sold 80mil.
Chill with the arm chair analyst knee jerk shit. Reads likes that slowtaku comic in here.
That said, im sure microsofts shareholders are not pleased with this at all.
If Destiny takes off and Titanfall flounders then it'll be another "fire everyone, then reinvent company as a wonderful, experimental gaming company" routine for EA like they did in 2009.
Also guys.
Over 300 thousands units first Jan is almost Wiilike sales. Really really big for a home console, and astounding for one that's already broken 2 million units in two months.
Well I guess we got our answer to whether Xbone would drop off a cliff after Nov/Dec.
It's almost eerie how similar is it to Wii U, except on a more successful scale.

I actually expect Sony to have a near insurmountable lead in the USA by the end of the year. One might be able to equalize with PS4, but by then Sony will have an appreciable lead in MS largest market.
I bet IGN picks it up, and posts it as is without any analysis.Who does MS think they are tricking with this PR? Basically NeoGAF deciphers the NPD results and dishes out the message for the rest of the industry anyway
Ohhh, Xbone will get a Titanfall bump for sure. Most likely will surpass PS4 for that month.
That is some quality spin.Xbox One Leads US Game Sales in January, Nearly 740 Million Hours of Fun Since Launch
its better when you put what they wrote.
You're missing only the lengths at which MS is willing to go to spin. They know some game media websites will just read the headline and make conclusions. The guy who tweeted to us that PS4 beat Xbox One sales for January also said Xbox One sold the most software in January. He made that conclusion off the press release. Mission success, no?
I await my ambassador game.
Microsoft consistently has the most godawful exclusives in the industry apart from halo, and now even that series is mediocre. Considering that it also runs every multiplat worse than the ps4 due to spec differences, there's no reason to buy an an xbone if you arent interested in the multimedia features.
And that is a horible position to be in for MS. You can't make a system that isnt suited for people with gaming as their highest priority and expect those same people to support you at launch.
PS4 will have a boost from Second Son so don't count on it.
Amazing. And it doesn't seem to be really software driven- I doubt too many people would argue PS4 has a killer app.
To me it appears there was a huge market for a new system after such a long generation, but that market is big enough for one platform and Sony is getting most of those customers.
They're are a lot more PS3's and PS4's out there than when any of the GeoW launched. EA seem pretty convinced this is the next CoD, so I think 4 or 5 million is definitely on the low side.
I think people should rememeber this is still their strongest XB launch EVER. They aren't doing bad, far far from it. The PS4 is just doing more incrediballs.
Congrats to Sony. This is honestly what Microsoft gets. They made so many bad management decisions in the last couple of years and it has finally caught up with them. I'm saying this as an Xbox fan that this can be looked at as being a good thing as Microsoft will have no choice but to start getting aggressive again, something they have not been doing for the last few years they were on top imo. But again, congrats to Sony for making all the right decisions this past year.
I need to see how the rest of the year plays out, but if they maintain or exceed this level of interest through the year Sony will zoom past Nintendo's first year Wii sales. Meaning the industry might not be doomed!Amazing. And it doesn't seem to be really software driven- I doubt too many people would argue PS4 has a killer app.
