Still decent numbers for a watercooler.
Last Quarter 360 shipped 800,000 units. There is usually a drop in shipments between Jan-Mar quarter and the Apr-Jun quarter. Last year that drop was 23%. If MS had a similar drop this year then the 360 shipped 616,000 units. So X1 with those numbers shipped 484,000 units.
So Sony could be 2:1 world wide? Or am I wrong?
Sony: 7 million PS4s sold to customers as of April 6th. 2.9 million of those = US sales.
2.9 / 7.0 = .41 (41% of PS4 sales occurred in the US)
665k units sold in the US during April - June.
665k / .41 = 1622k
7000 + 1622 = 8622 (or 8.6~ million)
Microsoft: 3 million XB1s sold to customers in 2013. 1.8 million of those = US sales.
1.8 / 3.0 = .60 (60% of XB1 sales occurred in the US)
1101k units sold in the US YTD (2014)
1101k / .6 = 1835k
3000 + 1835 = 4835 (or 4.8~ million)
As a MSFT shareholder, I would definitely pull the plug on the Xbox console project and focus on mobile (high margins, growing segment)/PC gaming (complements their core products).
The forum is even shittier than the main site.
And this is why i doubt that they'll be able to introduce a white XBO bundle for SO, there are still lots of unsold units on store shelves... even day one units.
Because I guess he thinks the talk about sales there is more reasonable than here but that is not the case all the time (I was a 2007 member there).Why are you advertising a banned site? What's your agenda?
If only some of you guys would visit the forum at a certain banned site, instead of thinking of the site as a whole, you wouldn't be surprised by this news at all. Forget the main site, the guys over there are pretty savvy when it comes to reality.
These numbers don't surprise me at all.
And before I get the usual reply: FORUM, not, SITE.
They need to be at $349, or heavily bundled. $399 kinectless bundle still isn't the best value. $399 with Titanfall and Forza 5... ok, now we're talking. It's the same bundle they are giving to japan - that's the bundle they should be pushing worldwide.
Not my marketing slogan.And here the thread took a wrong turn. Bye.
News like this makes it hard to jump in. I keep thinking "well, what else will they sweeten the pot with?" Hell, by Christmas I might be able to get one for $400 with Kinect and like 3 games or some shit.
So yeah I agree. But I also think Sunset Overdrive might surprise us. Just a feeling I have.
So, basicly Microsoft shipped Kinect-less SKUs? Am I getting that right? If it hadn't been for the Kinect-less bundle the amount shipped would be decreased to near nothing, or? How will their Q1 look?
TomShoe said:I have a feeling it'll get blown out of proportion.
It's probably pretty close, but I doubt it's actually at 2:1, though my math might be a bit off.
Yup, I'm waiting for an MCC $299 Black Friday bundle.
Sounds to me like they channel stuffed those Kinect SKUs last quarter, and now they're waiting before throwing a load more into stores.
I expect MS will see some good numbers during the holiday season.
How is this good stuff is beyond me...

Well, not sure if this is accurate cause I haven't looked that deeply into the numbers in that regard yet, but if it were, it wouldn't be terribly surprising. They had tons of units already shitting on shelves and not selling particularly fast. So they wouldn't need to add to that stockpile.
I don't think that Sales Agers are surprised either, it's just that this kind of thread usually attracts people who don't follow sales closely normally.
They still can do OK with a killer slew of games in America, as long as they keep price parity.
But if they do have a sensible plan in place, they could profit off it a bit and come out at least with their necks in place ya know?
Lol, when i read that comment i immediately thought of this scene from ArmageddonIn this case it would mean "good" which is not the case here

I say the samething about misterxmedia.If only some of you guys would visit the forum at a certain banned site, instead of thinking of the site as a whole, you wouldn't be surprised by this news at all. Forget the main site, the guys over there are pretty savvy when it comes to reality.

Is it wrong if I feel like the master chief collection is going to come out and out all the naysayers to bed?
Xbox One shipments are low because Kinect-less demand isn't all that high after an initial spike. I'm sure it's lower than what Microsoft had hoped for, especially since Xbox One continues to trail the PS4.
For example, in the USA last month only 55% of Xbox One hardware sales was from the new Kinect-less SKU launch.
This has less initial pull than the Titanfall SKU (70% of Xbox One hardware sales in March were from the Titanfall SKU).
God damn it, MS. Now I will never be able to update this graph. :/
... really do to change how badly they're getting clompled in Europe, and of course Japan is dead for Sony, it's going to be super dead for Microsoft. The only place Microsoft can gain ground is in the USA, and even in the month of their biggest game (and one of the most marketed games I've ever seen in ...
Very smart. Much grammarWord of the Day, right there.
Not my marketing slogan.
Sega GT/JSRF/Halo/Splinter Cell with mine. Cracking deal at the time.
MS does have a great fall though.
Like everyone knows, there's no chance Microsoft can reach first, so it's a battle for how well they do in second. They still can do OK with a killer slew of games in America, as long as they keep price parity. And they do have a compelling lineup in the future, so I think it'll be a good second place system. Maybe 50 million by the end? I'm just throwing out a random prediction here, haven't really calculated any projections based on current trajectories or anything
Now that the price has dropped and Microsoft is going to have its comparatively impressive Holiday season of games, I think they'll do better going forward. Relatively speaking, anyway. Next year I mean.
Is it wrong if I feel like the master chief collection is going to come out and put all the naysayers to bed?
I mean, surely that should drive some sales
