Man, Xbox numbers must be bad, but was anyone expecting anything else? After the price cut announcement we all knew they were basically throwing May away.

Doom and gloom is unwarranted IMO.

 

[Gator86]

Let me hear the spin.

These numbers must be devastating if MS isn't even bothering with spin.

[TomShoe]

This thread is getting boring.

 

[shinra-bansho]

I would assume that implies they're still up versus launch aligned 360 comparisons? Not on my computer so can't check where they were last gen.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

So Wii U is only at 60k this month? That's horrible.

Based on the PR comment from Microsoft, that might be good enough for 3rd place behind the PS4 and the 3DS.

 

[Paracelsus]

What is this, a choose your own adventure book? When does the next chapter start?

Anyway, when will we know if Vita made it back into the 5 figures?

It means exactly this:

Who cares, console war begins next month with the pricecut sales

 

[Aquamarine]

Let me hear the spin.

We all know that Microsoft would have had PR if the results were good.

Thanks for confirming it, "Xbox team."

 

[reptilescorpio]

Legitimate question : who does Geoff Keighley work for? It used to be Gametrailers?

He still works with Gametrailers.

 

[Shahed]

I didn't say increase in that post.

I may have misinterpreted. It seemed like the user I quoted was confused about the difference between 400% increase, and one of a magnitude of 4. I wasn't referring to you post even earlier

 

[Bgamer90]

Lol you post in theses threads every month. You know Sony doesn't put out PR.

I remember Sony/Playstation tweeting sales news in previous months. Just interested in last month's stats since I wanted to see if a huge majority of people who wanted Watch_Dogs bought a PS4 before the game released.

 

[Cornbread78]

NPD on Mon. Is just weird, I thought it was on Thursdays....

Anyhow, for some reason, I thought that MK bundle would push a lot more units...

 

[AvoidDaNoid]

So Wii U is only at 60k this month? That's horrible.

Not when you take into consideration that they nearly doubled their April figures and Mario Kart was only out for 2 days.

 

[viveks86]

Wow, that statement says absolutely nothing

No it says a lot

Paging a certain poster with a bronie avatar

 

[Jigorath]

Could XBO have finished under WiiU, 360, and PS3? It couldn't possibly be that low right?

 

[PJV3]

Chapter? 11?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Well that's what you get for demanding a statement.

E3.

 

[Raist]

Might as well say tht their NFL deal was a good idea because USA just beat Ghana.

 

[AlphaK]

Let me hear the spin.

Jesus.

 

[Chobel]

Let me hear the spin.

Not sure what hell is that supposed to mean?

 

[Cess007]

Wow, that statement says absolutely nothing. This is gonna be fun.

The statement says that June NPD can't come soon enough for them. And that seems they'll ignore May (which is a good thing to do; it was expected to be a low month for the XBOX with the price cut announcement)

 

[Ty4on]

Legitimate question : who does Geoff Keighley work for? It used to be Gametrailers?

Spike TV I think. He isn't an employee of Gametrailers.

lol, dat spin

That is some record player quality spin.

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Seems like I got a glimpse of the new PR strategy from Microsoft during the last Bonus Round. Patrick Klepek mentioned that Microsoft was saying something about the 'new Xbox' as though the console wasn't released last year. We might hear more of that type of language in the months ahead.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

So week 2 = 400% * week 1?

.......300%

 

[ascii42]

Not sure what hell is that supposed to mean?

It means Xbox One is still ahead of the 360 and original Xbox launch aligned.

 

[Michael Armbrust]

Legitimate question : who does Geoff Keighley work for? It used to be Gametrailers?

He never worked for Gametrailers. He was just contracted with them.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I need to go to bed but I can feel cream on his way any moment now...

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

I'm gonna be the obvious Big N guy and say I won't be completely disappointed in Wii U sales until June is a bust.

 

[jakncoke]

I'll take one hug please.

No, you eat your meatball subs with mustard on top the spaghetti sauce and put bunches of veggies on it.

 

[Loudninja]

That is some record player quality spin.

Not really sure if we can call this spin.

 

[Bgamer90]

Let me hear the spin.

That song from The Roots called "Don't Say Nuthin" comes to my mind.

We all know the SKU announcement impacted sales. I don't know why they are even giving a response... Especially one as pointless as this.

 

[AvoidDaNoid]

lol, dat spin

How so? Overall numbers are bad but a game being out for only 2 days and causing a 85% bump is not bad. Seriously. What did you expect?

 

[Finalizer]

Not sure what hell is that supposed to mean?

Absolutely nothing.

Which is telling when that apparently beats the alternative of even hinting at sales.

 

[Slashlen]

No it says a lot

Well, it's what it's not saying that's deafening...

 

[Yamauchi]

Wonder how well Mario Kart 8 will do this month. It seems to be selling briskly at the moment.

 

[Toki767]

Sounds like Microsoft wants a do-over with that response.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I need to go to bed but I can feel cream on his way any moment now...

Hehe....

[wsippel]

.......300%

4x is 400% or +300%

 

[SwiftDeath]

All right I'm going back to my show.

 

[hwateber]

Might as well say tht their NFL deal was a good idea because USA just beat Ghana.

USA May not always score the most but we scored the fastest

 

[Kuro]

What was the exact date MS announced the price drop?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

We all know that Microsoft would have had PR if the results were good.

Thanks for confirming it, "Xbox team."

That IS PR. Why do you think it's Keighley that has the quote. I think it stands to reason that the floor for Bone's sales are whatever 360 sold in it's first May. Anyone have those figures?

 

[Handy Fake]

Let me hear the spin.

 

[prag16]

Not sure what hell is that supposed to mean?

I guess xbone is beating og xbox and 360 launch aligned. Well, no shit...
