I think they could do $400 with Kinect, the device has some value (looking at how popular V1 was on 360) but... im not even shocked. Something was clearly up when they dropped the TF bundle prices a week after launch.
Phil has got a big job ahead of him.

I gotta say, I REALLY didn't expect this result. As most people, I thought X1 would take March (with TF releasing, hw bundles with the game, price "drops"), and would close the gap between the machines to ~150k (about half of what it was).
However, I kinda knew something fishy was going on when Kevin Dent started going crazy about NPD on twitter, though.

Yup, I thought they were trying to soften the blow. Keep people talking about how PS4 still leads overall and one month doesn't matter.
Instead it was part of a 1-2 combo punch just laying into MS. =)
No but I mean, they'd have to implement a comparable manufactured hype around the game. They spent literally tens of millions of dollars promoting Titanfall. They said it was THE next-gen game experience. They said have you seen Titanfall. They plastered it in the corner of every fucking PR piece they had. Microsoft wanted Titanfall to be the reason to own an XBO, and hid the 360 version to do it.
Do you think Halo 2 Anniversary is going to receive that sort of treatment?

Sold to retailers...
Yeah, the sell-thru to sell-in comparisons are about to be very strong.

About a million away from the Wii u in less than half the time. Not bad Microsoft.
"Sold-in to retailers"? As in… shipped?
It didn't.

Of course it's a parody.
Legit surprised. Microsoft pulled out all the stops for the X1 version of Titanfall to drive hardware sales and it still wasn't enough to top the PS4 for the month.
Gives me a little faith that aggressive marketing and money doesn't guarantee anything in this industry, but where do they go from here? Price drop? No kinect? Bigger marketing budgets, buy up more exclusives? Play it off as no big thing?

I think the DRM debacle angered people more than we thought. They certainly didn't respond to a price drop and a game bundle like we expected. It is like they are numb to Microsoft right now.
