Damn the drop of sales talk turned Rex into a communist from the USSR.
Lord MAU please save his soul.
There is no communism. There is no USSR. There is only MAU. Our glorious Chairman MAU.
Might not be too late to substitute for digital!At this point it's more I had a past tbh.
The company should disclose profit margins and sales for its cloud and hardware businesses, Microsofts former chief executive officer said.
Its sort of a key metric -- if they talk about it as key to the company, they should report it, Ballmer, who is the companys biggest individual shareholder, told Bloomberg at the software makers annual meeting in Bellevue, Washington.

Can someone fill me in on what the hell MAU is or link me to where this started?
Thanks
Our Father, MAU,
Who art selling Services,
Downloadable be your games.
Thy Services matter,
Though thoust hardware sales splatter,
Except for in the US and UK.
Give us this month,
An active user,
And ignore the other metrics,
As we ignore those who are not monthly and not active.
Lead us not into low margin businesses,
But sell us thine Services forever.
Amen.
Do you guys think the Black Friday sales of XB1+PS4 will grow at a similar rate as UK (~14%) this year? I feel like it is likely to be less for Black Friday specifically but significantly more for the whole month of November thanks to the release of big AAA games with bundles in the weeks before BF.
Blasphemy! Those of us who truly saw the holy light of MAU know that sales are nothing more than lies by corporations to conceal the truth about what really matters in the industry.MAU: Monthly Active Users
I believe everyone is mocking Microsoft for dropping the use of console sales numbers in reports to instead use monthly active users. This is widely believed to be in an attempt to hide the growing discrepancy between sales of the PS4 and XB1.
I was "whutting" the 2.2 million in November.
I mean... That's super low.
If PS4 Will sell only 1 million in Nov NPD, which is almost a given in My opinion, this mean the US sales are over 45%.
We shoul Know that's impossible.
PS4 sales should be ~3 million or more in November most likely.
Here here!! I already sent a 666 page letter to npd of why they should stop spreading these sales lies and focus on what's importantBlasphemy!

Edit:
Oh, and because Microsoft can't just come out and say that they are switching to MAUs instead of sales to hide how badly they are losing, they have to overhype the importance of MAUs in relation to sales. That comes off as an incredibly bad case of PR doublespeak. So now that PR doublespeak is being sarcastically exaggerated and treated as if it were true. It also doesn't hurt that MAU is a funny sounding word and sounds like the first name of Mao Zedong, the former Chairman of the Communist Party of China.

The one thing that I find interesting about Microsoft's new sales metric, MAUs, is that about a month or so after they make that call, where they are only going to report MAUs, they have that $1 for one month of Xbox Live Sales.
Now I know that getting these people in for $1 a month will open up Microsoft to some potential users that will spend money, or open the door back up to past users that could spend money again. Thats great! I just found it convenient that they have this best deal on Xbox Live you can find, about a month after making the change.
Another reason they switched to MAU is because it basically let them double their XBox numbers. Remember, Mehdi just said they had nearly as many active users on Windows as they do the consoles.
Another reason they switched to MAU is because in a few years, they'll have 10x the users on Windows, as people say, "You need my email to play Solitaire? Okay, whatever. Details, details … blah, blah, blah … accept, accept … FINALLY!! YES, login automatically …"
For the great price I couldn't pass up on this item. I have a PS3. I've never played the Uncharted games but it's from the makers of The Last of Us and that game was one of the best games I ever played
Sales is console war without bloodshed while console war is sales with bloodshed.
Console war can only be abolished through console war, and in order to get rid of the controller it is necessary to take up the controller.
Sales power grows out of the buttons of a controller.
I mean its a given. Which is why i think uncharted 4 will have big success. Coming off the high that is the last of us, first uncharted on ps4 with a collection be bundled in with many ps4s add to he the fact naughty dog is touting nates last adventure and ps4's 35 mil install base(should be) Uncharted 4 is looking at really good MAU numbersI just read something interesting on the Amazon's reviews of the Uncharted PS4 bundle:
The Last of Us really built some insane reputation for Naughty Dog. People are willing to play Uncharted (even if they're not particularly interested in it) just because they know it's from the dudes who made The Last of Us.

When do we expect the press releases to start coming out?
I'm interested in knowing how the Xbox lineup did across the last few months, especially the community metrics for Forza Mautorsport 6.
NPD for nov is next Thursday ? I hope Sony says something during PSX this sat. Everyone has been quiet lolPretty much anytime. They could tip their hand on performance on BF alone, the month of November, domestic or WW, etc. NPD releases next Thursday afternoon.

when do you think ms will react?

React to what?
He probably means the 2 week price drop in Dec, people are waiting for the other shoe to drop (MS).React to what?
I thought infoscout, best buy, Amazon. and the UK suggest PS4 took BF but by a small margin.It may be quiet because no one is sure who won.
What are Amazon charts looking like right now?
Mk8 WiiU bundle is doing work right now on the hourly. I wonder if this will be sustainable throughout December?What are Amazon charts looking like right now?
If only you were in the MAU.

Church of MAU is the fastest-selling spiritual movement of all times.I found this with a google search, there is a small MAU community that is growing.
