I've been looking for the opportunity to break out this gif somewhere, and I guess here would do as well as anywhere.

Yes, that means how many they sold to retailers not to customers. Go take a ride to any local electronics store, Xbox One's a plenty.

Sony released Infamous, that's hardly 'doing nothing'.

Omg I'm laughing so hard!
Actually it's awful for what was being pushed as the second coming, shit we had people in here telling us it was going to hit 400 - 500k.
MS has fucked up.

Congrats to Sony! E3 going to be very interesting. I would love to see an aggressive Microsoft come back into the fray. You know, the Microsoft that launched the 360.
Im happy to see both companies doing well. We're in exciting times.

Likely higher. 5 million figure is shipped, not sold-through to customers.
"Today, we congratulate our friends at Respawn Entertainment, and Electronic Arts, as Titanfall for Xbox One was named the number one selling game in March, according to NPD Group figures released today."
No. According to NPD Group figures released today, Titanfall for Xbox One AND PC was the number one selling game in March. Since we don't have the exact numbers, Second Son could have outsold Titanfall on Xbox One and the PC sales just pushed it over.

World Wide PS4 sales = 7 milion.
World Wide XBone sales = 5 million.
Microsoft has their work cut out for them.

Not really relevant to the sales data but holy shit that's a lot if true. Unless they count standby as on or some people are literally using their X1 24/7.

This thread will get out of control in 3, 2, 1.....
As for the numbers. Pretty shocking given Titanfall but ...then again with all the controversy the Xbox One has had had on resolution compared to the PS4 pretty much every month since it launched along with a higher price or on par price with the game included is it really all that surprising? Factor in the lack of Games with Gold on Xbox One compared to PS+ and then the issue that Titanfall itself while a great game is just MP only so its not a game for everyone plus the X1 version once again was drug through the resolution gate business. Given all that, is it really shocking that the Xbox One still was behind the PS4?
Following this news Phil Spencer has his work cut out for him.

It's 5 M shipped not sold.
lol amazing
Xbox One over 5 million units sold to retailers. I believe MS reported 3.9 sold to retailers in mid january. The gap between the PS4 and Xbox One is widening ever more. It won't be long till Sony has doubled the Xbox One's sales to consumers.

Whoa. That's really bad, right? Like really bad, especially for the month your flagship game comes out.
Yes, shipped and stuffed into warehouses, not sold to customers. It's a deceptive number by design for a press release.

So if Microsoft don't have the most gamer focused E3 evar this year... then I don't think I'll ever be buying an Xbox One.
I expect to be buying an XO shortly after E3. For less than they are currently on sale for

It's really not bad. Not sure why Microsoft refuses to announce it.
It's gotta be over a million if you include the hardware bundles and download sales.

5 million shipped by their first March is actually a traditionally good number. The PS4 is record breakingly good though.
Still waiting for TF numbers. 700k or bust.
BTW MS, drop the Kinect. You can't outsell the PS4 at a premium.

Repurposing this gif is upsetting to me.
They need more than just $399. They need something to get people back on board. Great games aren't doing it.
but then again Xbox is only sold in 13 countries compared to Ps4's 48.
Nope.
PS4 = 7 million sold to actual consumers.
XBO = 5 million shipped to retailers; significantly less sold to consumers.

And here I thought 50k was high

Wait, wait, wait.
So not only did Titanfall not push MS over the PS4, but it only boosted sales by around 60k compared to last month? Even with the free bundles and retailer-specific sales?
Yikes.

Wow PS4 outsold the Xbox One despite the Titanfall bundle and all those retailer price drops? I seriously didn't expect that, congrats Sony.

There is a reason why MS launched in only 13 territories. If the demand was there they would of launched in more countries then they did. It's obvious the bulk of the brand is in two major markets.
And it's 5 million sold-in to retailers, not customers. The lead is bigger than 2 million

I figured, they usually put chest thumping PR out a week after the launch, but then I figured around when the 360 version would launch, now at NPD time but still nada.
The theory about most of the potential Ttanfall buyers already owning an X1 seems to have rung true.
XB1 percentage is likely over 90%. Boxed PC market is very, very small, most people buy digital.
