Damn, where's a mod when you need one.

Anyway, numbers could be better. They didn't really have a system selling game this spring.

It's a joke.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

At least 1m on the channel is my guesses.

Yeah when they still have the AC bundle on the shelves, 1 million in the channel seems like a reasonable guess.

 

[ethomaz]

Do we know how many xb1s they sold in the NPD territory last quarter ?

661k

Edit - I got the PS4 numbers by mistake... fixed.

 

[Kayant]

Xbox Platform revenue decreased $471 million or 8%, driven by lower prices of Xbox One consoles compared to the prior year, as well as a decrease in second- and third-party video games revenue.

Don't think they used second party naming.

Xbox Live usage up 30%

So this is the April NPD fallback quote from MS.

 

[mcrommert]

Lower console units are part of the reason for lowered revenue. It's down YOY.

Exactly...i would have to think the margins on xbox 360 are really, really good by this point.

 

[Servbot24]

It's okay guys. Only the holiday sales and holiday games line up matters.


Out of curiosity do we know total PS3 sales?

 

[ZhugeEX]

Holy crap relax....It was a typo.

You don't make typo's twice.

 

[theprodigy]

1.1m Xbox One's / 500k Xbox 360's
1.0m Xbox One's / 600k Xbox 360's
900k Xbox One's / 700k Xbox 360's

Pick your poison

probably the first one, or maybe even 1.2m/0.4m (this is why I wanted 360 NPD sales!)

I expected Numbers to be higher than that, but this is Wii U Territory.

Didnt the X1 have a large amount of Discounts? What happend to that?

yeah uh...stick around to see how many Wii Us got shipped this quarter 2 weeks from now

 

[Conduit]

As an ESTIMATE I would place Xbox One cumulative sell in to be under 13.5 million units as of March 31st 2015.

Well, i think that sales gap is roughly 2:1 in PS4 favor worldwide.

 

[mcrommert]

Don't think they used second party naming.



So this is the April NPD fallback quote from MS.

I don't see why xbox usage is an issue for their financials. This would indicate more xbox live gold accounts (maybe) so financials there should be rising...but then again it might not be comparable

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Hopefully this means MS spreads out first party Xbox releases throughout the year starting in 2016.

 

[ZhugeEX]

~800k.

No it didn't. Where did this number come from?

Number is closer to 660k.

 

[Scientificreason]

You don't make typo's twice.

Yes I do, all the time. I know what the difference is, but my brain thought one thing, and typed another. Relax.

 

[MisterR]

I know everyone is excited to dance on xbox perceived grave

Remember this includes 360 sales which has taken a steep, steep dive

If it were only 360 declines then it seems like they would do individual numbers for Xbox One instead of Xbox family.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'm more than ready to jump in when they release Pro 4. Time to ditch my 2013 Macbook Air.

You won't regret it. Will have to see how much of an improvement Pro 4 is before upgrading, but I'll probably end up upgrading regardless.

 

[Zophar]

Called ages ago that devaluing the XB1 so quickly was a horrible idea. That's a very steep decline for a platform so early in its lifespan. It should be speeding up, not slowing down.

PS4 will be leading it 3:1 worldwide by the end of the year.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Out of curiosity do we know total PS3 sales?

Worldwide? Over 87 million. But that's not official.

 

[keit4]

Hopefully this means MS spreads out first party Xbox releases throughout the year starting in 2016.

Uh no, September - December is what matters.

 

[ethomaz]

No it didn't. Where did this number come from?

Yeap... I got the PS4 numbers by mistake fixed my post.

661k (233+276+152)... from GAF threads.

 

[Scientificreason]

Wow no way man.

 

[Pathfinder]

If you build the games, they will come.

 

[Silvard]

Remember this includes 360 sales which has taken a steep, steep dive

So has the minimum retail price of the Xbox One. Alone the drop in revenue would be explained, but staying flat (in the best case scenario for the Xbox One, assuming the 360 only shipped a paltry 400k) despite the price drop is quite surprising.

 

[Kama_1082]

Surface Pro 3 putting in work!

Damn fine tablet, best I've used to date. Success is well deserved.

If only i could stop the fans from blowing at full speed when plugged in and watching twitch.

 

[Kysen]

Yup they overshipped,1.6mil is very low for 2 consoles world wide.

 

[ElTorro]

Do they advertise the console in Germany?

Yes. I don't watch TV, but I saw Xbox One ads in movie theatres often.

 

[McHuj]

The summer months could be a lot worse, unless there's a slim plus price drop at E3.

 

[Grimgrillz]

We have to assume the vast majority of that is Xbone since the 360 is basically dead now. How are the results do you think?

Edit: Just saw the other slide, down 24% on revenue? That looks pretty damn horrible.

Here in the UK, and across much of the EU 360 is still very popular. So popular that in some places in London there is about £50-£60 separating the 360 from XBO

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Wow no way man.

2.5:1 doesn't sound unreasonable though.

 

[offshore]

8.6 million Lumia smartphones sold last quarter.

Good quarter for Microsoft mobile.

I'm one of those 8.6m. Got my first Lumia... it's awesome. Windows Phone is brilliant.

I didn't think these constant price cuts would help them, and these numbers seem to back that up a bit. Xbox One desperately needs a redesign, rebrand and then unified price points that they can stick to for more than 5 minutes.

So like XBONE 16M, PS4 48M?
Sounds unlikely

 

[CTLance]

Whelp. That's gotta sting. Particularly with mobile and tablet divisions soldiering along just fine.

Gotta say though: my inner Nintendo fanboy breathed a sigh of relief. It's always nice to have company.

 

[DarkJedi24]

Hopefully this means MS spreads out first party Xbox releases throughout the year starting in 2016.

Quantum Break is already there, but I don't see anything other than perhaps Tomb Raider moving out of the holiday season.

 

[Rymuth]

Uh no, September - December is what matters.

Not according to Aaron Greenberg. It's November and December now.

 

[Nightbird]

probably the first one, or maybe even 1.2m/0.4m (this is why I wanted 360 NPD sales!)


yeah uh...stick around to see how many Wii Us got shipped this quarter 2 weeks from now

yea, i just remembered, Wii U is probably more around 0.6-0.8. carry on!

 

[Cess007]

Uh no, September - December is what matters.

I can't tell anymore who's serious with this and who's not.

Called ages ago that devaluing the XB1 so quickly was a horrible idea. That's a very steep decline for a platform so early in its lifespan. It should be speeding up, not slowing down.

PS4 will be leading it 3:1 worldwide by the end of the year.

Not gonna happen. Unless Sony found a smash Hit that it's exclusive to the PS4 AND also lower the price by more than 100dlls.

 

[BadWolf]

Sounds pretty low.

 

[allan-bh]

Q3 2014 breakdown was 1.2m XBO / 0.8m 360.

If 360 drop 50% YoY, XBO is flat.

 

[Portugeezer]

I hope it picks up. MS have done a good job turning the BS around but sales are still low.

 

[Xando]

Yes. I don't watch TV, but I saw Xbox One ads in movie theatres often.

Haven't seen a xb1 ad since evolve. If they're trying to market the thing they need to start doing it seriously.

 

[Obliterator]

PS4 will be leading it 3:1 worldwide by the end of the year.

Nah, Xbone should have a good holiday. It has Tomb Raider and Halo 5. Honestly it may outsell PS4 October - December

 

[ZhugeEX]

PS4 will be leading it 3:1 worldwide by the end of the year.

It will barely be 2:1 at the end of the year.

 

[Into]

If XB1 outsold XB1 last year, they would have referenced that "growth yoy" instead of using the word in regards to XB live usage. I am sure 360 sales have dropped but i doubt they have dropped enough to some scenario where XB1 is actually doing better. Makes no sense for PR to miss such a opportunity.

But really the price cuts are the real story for me here. As well as a solid campaign to repair the damage done earlier.

 

[tesla246]

Well - time to switch back over to PS4 and get rid of a soon to be paper weight.

It was fun while it lasted - looks like MS gonna have to release a successor sooner than expected. They are done at this point.

How I love these posts where I can't tell with certainty if its meant as either sarcasm or frustration. It can even be some hyperbole/drive-by troll!

Is it really that bad if XB1 is at 1.2 million like last year while 360 is at 400k

The problem I believe is that, according to these numbers, the XONE may be facing stagnation (if you expect the 360 to drop a reasonably 50%YOY, thus leaving 1.2 million for XONE, which is the same as last year).
Consoles always seem to hit their stride in the 3/4 year, and when the XONE doesn't show growth and sells as much as last year despite of all the price drops, free games and deals left/right, it may be an indication for future ''progress''.

 

[MisterR]

Nah, Xbone should have a good holiday. It has Tomb Raider and Halo 5. Honestly it may outsell PS4 October - December

Possible but unlike in the U.S. No way in hell worldwide.

 

[MikeE21286]

Down year over year after being out less than 18 months? Not. Good.

 

[Kosma]

Nah, Xbone should have a good holiday. It has Tomb Raider and Halo 5. Honestly it may outsell PS4 October - December

*in the us

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

This is absolutely terrible for the Xbox division, right?

 

[Portugeezer]

Nah, Xbone should have a good holiday. It has Tomb Raider and Halo 5. Honestly it may outsell PS4 October - December

I really doubt it will outsell PS4 worldwide.

 

[Scientificreason]

Worldwide? Not a chance.

 

[BadWolf]

Worldwide? Not going to happen.
