So they are saying selling 1,000,000 is no different then 400K in a week? And then they are saying the Xbox 360 was THE MOST DOMINANT CONSOLE OF THE GENERATION?
No, they said "one of", which it was as long as you were talking UK or USA. More CYA.
A click bait piece if I've ever seen one (and apparently we've seen plenty over the past few months)
What is there to read into? It sold a million units in 24 hours, it will sell another million in Europe next week, and another million after restocks before the end of the year. That is a larger userbase in a month than the Wii U has accumulated in a year.
Are they trying to tell me mobile phones are going to replace my console still?
No, what they are trying to tell you is that
a) MS will (no matter by what metric) have a successful launch this week
b) MS could still lead the generation
This is honestly what they are trying to say here. Not quite sure why.... but yeah...
