Yeah, I honestly didn't know how big PvZ was... well, I knew it was a big iOS game but I didn't think it would transfer over well to console (a la "Angry Birds").
When Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox One to $399 at E3, there will be balance in the world again. The United States of America will begin to turn the tide of this console war and help the Xbox One lead the way to the future.
Do you actually have any idea how much extra profit that adds on average, per box, for Microsoft? Having "only" a 50% adoption rate for a monthly subscription service that has very modest maintenance costs is spectacular. Even if they only had two million subscribers, that's a huge increase in the amount of income they're generating from the sale of those units. That's a ridiculously good revenue stream, and the promise of expanding that source of revenue is the main reason Microsoft has even continued to tolerate the X-Box division's pratfalls.
In all honesty a $399 Xbone with Kinect and a Halo 2 anniversary bundle could be a pretty killer deal this holiday in the US.When Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox One to $399 at E3, there will be balance in the world again.

Just wait, Sony will be running around in panic like headless chickens. I wouldn't be surprised if Shuhei Yoshida resigns and Andrew House just drinks himself into delirium. They have a world of pain incoming.Your posts of late + that avatar has been absolute GOLD
Xbox One is a killer deal right now. But indeed, a $399 Xbawx One with Halo would be killer even beyond just killer.In all honesty a $399 Xbone with Kinect and a Halo 2 anniversary bundle could be a pretty killer deal this holiday in the US.

If Xbox wanted to be Dexter they'd have to add back all of the always online DRM right near the end of its life cycle.Would you say it's the Dexter of deals?
No, you probably wouldn't; no one watches Dexter anymore.

I think the only way MS gets a spike in sales at E3 or later is a two SKU approach. They already put the $450 price out there to help move inventory for the Kinect bundle with a game and it's not catching on in Europe. That price has been out there for well over a month at every store but game stop. How could you expect to go back no. It would hurt sells.
I fully expect this to happen by or at E3:
$350 No Kinect core bundle.
$450 W/Kinect and a game.
The Kinect SKU will not sell if they sell two SKUs including one without Kinect.

5.1 shipped, so they may not have sold 5 mil yet?

That was by 31st March, so they might be at 5m now, depends how close they were to 5m sold back then (not that close I suspect) and we're getting towards the season were less consoles are usually sold?
It will be interesting to see if they give numbers on how many the Kinectless sku sold specifically although I doubt they will except for a few words on "increased demand" or something
The things that are going to move units this generation are, in no particular order:
1. Which system they can get more cheaply to play multiplatform games on.
2. Which system has superior ports of multiplatform games.
3. Which system more of their friends are playing online multiplayer games on.
These things are all massively more important than either console's library of exclusives. The argument of which console has or will have better exclusives is just for bragging rights; the difference it will make in the end is almost completely trivial.
Why do we have constant updates for PS4 sales, but not Xbone and WiiU? We seriously only know the Xbone sales up to March?

I believe MS wont outsell PS4 ever again in the USA, the shift has happened already.
Sales will always read that again always be close but PS4 will always edge it out in the NPDs from now on, their wont be a time where MS blows out PS4 in a blink of an eye, them days is dead.

Well ...
Possibility #1: Kinectless SKU in June => Will soon know (but this I doubt)
Possibility #2: HALO MCC => This is possible in my opinion.

Never say never. I doubt it will ever become a trend though.I believe MS wont outsell PS4 ever again in the USA, the shift has happened already.

Wouldn't they have said 2 million if it was amount sold to retailers?
If they're saying 1.2 million, these seem like amount sold through to customers.

That's what you get when your the company that people expect to have the most powerful hardware and you deliver an underpowered system, hope Microsoft is realizing that.I believe MS wont outsell PS4 ever again in the USA, the shift has happened already.
