Good or bad?

 

[FlyStarJay]

Good or bad?

good or bad?

didn't sony sell that amount to consumer in that period?

 

[Beer Monkey]

In before 'Xbox family' and 'LOL SHIPPED'.

 

[Innolis]

Good or bad?

Its not bad, its just not Sony good.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Good or bad?

Doesn't look good for 2 consoles.

 

[Mass Effect]

Alright sales-agers, do we have the info to determine the split?

 

[mcrommert]

Seems like a large improvement (100% increase on last set, and 360 had to have shrunk) but i'll let the pro's handle that judgement

 

[Miles X]

Good or bad?

Entirely expected. (good, for XB1 ...)

1.7m XB1, 700k 360 is about what I expect.

 

[plasmawave]

Xbox family and LOL shipped.

 

[SerTapTap]

Good or bad?

Bad for people who thought "28 new markets" would mean anything particularly substantial, otherwise seems tepid but not bad. Depends on the split of course which they're not going to tell us. Boring months anyway though.

 

[Miles X]

Xbox family and LOL shipped.

LOL it's an investor report and they only report shipments like the last 14 years. SMH

Why are they using September cumulative sales data for Xbox and comparing it to June cumulative sales data for Playstation and Wii/WiiU?

That's not Microsoft, that's the OP.

Something just flew way over your head breh

I don't do sarcasm, I've displayed that 3 times today already.

 

[2spooky4me]

[velvet_nitemare]

Can we expect the PS4 to have outshipped both consoles combined? I know it's the slow summer season, but that number doesn't look unbeatable

 

[FeenixRising]

edit: missed the joke, as usual

 

[Jaxx]

Good or bad?

As a company, the overall numbers are great. For the console, it's good but not great, especially compared to Sony's PS4. Pretty much the opposite of the situation at Sony where the company is a disaster as a whole, but the PS division is doing OK. Gaming isn't a huge money-maker for either company though.

 

[Gestault]

Xbox 360 sales rise to 84 million (June 9, 2014)

What's the highest official statement for PS3 sales?

 

[thelastcrusader]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

 

[jedimike]

It's good. 2.4M Shipped shows that the stuffed channels from the previous quarter cleared out and orders increased.

 

[OléGunner]

Decent sales...I'm really interested to see if the world wide markets take to X1 now that it's out in more places.

Surely a pure focus on NA alone is not enough for MS? They have to stem the tide WW as well

 

[vvise]

looks pretty good. thank you microsoft for not raising the price for us canadians.

 

[Frankfurter]

Difficult to make anything meaninful of that stuff, considering the Xbox family stuff and the launch in 28 markets (i.e. potential channel stuffing going on there).
I'm actually surprised that both MS and Sony get away with this. If I was a stockholder, I'd demand them to actually release meaningful data, not this bullshit.

 

[jem0208]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

It's hardly at Wii U levels...

 

[prwxv3]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

wat.

 

[Miles X]

What's the highest official statement for PS3 sales?

80m last November I think. They're neck and neck and we have no idea of what either are actually at :\ just that they're in the 84 - 85m ballpark.

 

[StealthGoblin]

It's good. 2.4M Shipped shows that the stuffed channels from the previous quarter cleared out and orders increased.

They did launch in more countries too. So we also have to consider that.

 

[Radec]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

Wat.

 

[mcrommert]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

????

i shouldn't even reply on these posts

 

[HighResTomato]

$23.20b revenue, thats more that Sony's market cap.

 

[retrogamer84]

Well it's certainly better than last quarter, but I would still call it okay myself.

 

[Graphics Horse]

In before 'Xbox family' and 'LOL SHIPPED'.

Xbox family and LOL shipped.

Very good

 

[Sayter]

LOL it's an investor report and they only report shipments like the last 14 years. SMH.

Didn't read a few posts above that, hmm?

 

[Guevara]

Last quarter they shipped only 1.1M (combined 360 & One), drawing down inventory in the channel.

 

[Miles X]

I wonder how close they are to WiiU now .....

Approximately Xbone's sales numbers?

Around 6 mil.?

Sell through yeah, shipments around 7m - 7.5m

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

Thanks for making me laugh though

 

[Conduit]

Approximately Xbone's sales numbers?

Around 6 mil.?

 

[backflip10019]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

Haha what numbers are you looking at?

 

[Raist]

Well, they launched the XB1 in 28 additional countries in September, so quite obviously the shipped figures for Q1 2015 should be way higher than Q4 2014.
That doesn't say much about sales though.

 

[Birgitte2004]

It's good. 2.4M Shipped shows that the stuffed channels from the previous quarter cleared out and orders increased.

Not necessarily, they had 28 new markets to stuff.

 

[blakep267]

Approximately Xbone's sales numbers?

Around 6 mil.?

is say 6+ ish shipped. and 5-5.5 is sold

 

[The Llama]

Seems to be a pretty decent number. Nothing amazing but not poor at all.

 

[Xando]

Approximately Xbone's sales numbers?

Around 6 mil.?

Should be between 5.5-6 mil depending on its ROTW perfomance i think.

 

[Webhead]

Its not bad, its just not Sony good.

Pretty much. I think this will be the norm for this generation. Microsoft will do really well with sales but Sony will almost always be one step ahead.

 

[valkillmore]

Considering the insanity of last year and their steady improvements since, i feel these are good numbers. I doubt, as an avid gamer, I'll be able to resist the Xbone in 2015. It is just not in the budget this year but I'm sure we'll see some fucking insane bundles for it next Christmas.

Won't be able to pass on Halo 5.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I still think that shipment is low considering the price cut, the removal of Kinect and launching in 28 more countries. They shipped more than 100k to China alone.

We know Xbox One has been lagging behind in the US and we know it is even worse worldwide.

It is good they've cleared inventory though.

 

[AnthonypUK]

So it was 5 million ended March


and then a max of 3.5m since then (360 and one) gotta be about 7 - 7.5 million shipped.

 

[bryehn]

Youch. Maybe it will just be Ninty and Sony by 2017...

Hahahaha, what?

 

[Miles X]

is say 6+ ish shipped. and 5-5.5 is sold

No. Was 5m shipped end of March, then 1.1m April - June (about 50/50 given 360's performance last year and the same % drop applied from previous Q.

So 5.5m.

360 was 1.2m last Q, probably in the region of 500 - 700k this year, so 1.7 - 1.9m shipped for XB1.

 

[jedimike]

I wonder how close they are to WiiU now .....



Sell through yeah, shipments around 7m - 7.5m

why would you think that? Of the 14.1 M 360 + XB1 numbers, you think half of the sales are from the 360?
