Someone needs to tell Microsoft.Kinect has not been abandoned.
/salt because they packaged in what amounts to a paperweight in terms of gaming utility.

Yeah I meant plus. Well with deals like that...if Xbox one doesn't win, that will be extremely telling.PS Now is a rental service. Maybe you mean Plus?
I do realize I'm losing out on PS3 Plus titles, but I'm still getting Vita and PS4 titles which matter to me more. I also like that Microsoft is competing on that front, and at least I'll be able to keep my free 360 games.
Both WiiU & Vita still has more life time sales than Xbox one. If you check the charts regularly.. PS4, WiiU are holding its place. The stay within a 5 spot range. The $399 Xbox one SKU, started at 40 and dramatically fell down to 100 spot. The $499 Xbox one has been in the ~150th spot for almost 3 weeks.
It could mean that Xbone troubles are much bigger than people are assuming. If May NPD numbers come out and we find it sold in the ~20K range, it will be a disaster. 3rd parties will start bailing out, which will compound the problem.
In a sea of dumb posts, this one takes the crown, congrats.
I keep thinking I should buy one soon, but for what? There are games I would play on it, but sunset overdrive, forza and Halo MC aren't out until fall, this thing can only get cheaper until then and they could even do a bundle. I need to wait for that sweet, sweet bomba.
I am hoping for a white model!I doubt they'll do any bundling until the master chief collection. Summer is typically slow anyhow.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to buy a XBoxOne even at that price. You are still getting a system that's blatantly inferior to the PS4 and any games advantage the XBoxOne is enjoying ATM is going to be reversed very soon. Only reason I could think of would be if you are a Platinum Games fanboy but Bloodborne makes that a poor reason.

Naw, I wait till the game's I want appear. I love UC (my favorite series of last gen) and GOW, so I am looking at waiting till late 2015 to even consider PS4.
No way I wait till the end...that is just silly, imo, if you love games.
Quantum Break, Halo 5 and that Platinum game. There, I gave you three!
I don't think he legitimately believes the Xbone sold ~20k, but if the Xbone were to start selling less than what is does now, you better believe publishers will take notice.
And do what? It's not like it will suddenly make them start supporting the U.
Publishers will do what they did when PS3 sales were incredibly dire, they'll keep bringing the games and hope sales pick up.
The competitive FIFA players use Xbox as the main console.
Also Legends is still exclusive to Xbox for Ultimate Team, which is basically fantasy soccer, is extremely popular. The Ultimate Team community uses Xbox.
Xbox will see a spike in sales as I'm sure PS will just because of the timing where more people will buy consoles later in the year rather than now.
Where will 3rd parties bail to? PS4? Its not lighting the charts on fire either. As a matter of fact at this point in last gen Wii has outsold all three new platforms in the same month for the same period.

Have you seen Bloodborne?

lol at the comments in this thread. People are convincing someone else that why isn't it good to buy Xbox One. At least try hard people. But Xbox at the end of gen to play all the exclusives? Playstation would make most sense in this regard since most of the exclusive are single player centric. Infamous, Order, Uncharted, God of war, Last of us etc. Even though some of them has multiplayer, those are the games known for their awesome campaign.
On Xbox you have Titanfall, Halo, Gears, Sunset Overdrive , Crackdown etc. Buy it at the end of the gen when the community is all gone? The most fun I had playing games in years was when Titanfall came out. Everyone was so hyped and talking about it. And I was playing it with them, I was in that hype. It wouldn't be half as fun if I would have bought the game right now let alone end of the gen.
What I am trying to say is if you like it, get it. And have fun. The console will be bundled with one game by the end of the year, so u end up saving 60$. But on the other side, you end up not enjoying xbox for 6 more months.
Loooool so what do you call being the top current gen console seller every single NPD month expect for one whilst outselling last gen. Even Mrx doesn't say something so silly.
He posted on this very page of this thread. He no longer can give such exact insights for fear of possible backlash
Square, Atlus, Capcom, Sega and so many pubs are in dire situations. PS3 days were far different from where we are today in the industry.
Do you think Disney etc will really care if Xbox is around or not ?. When you think of publishers it is not just the big three EA/Activison/Ubisoft. Lot of other games like Metro are published by small pubs.

Makes no sense. Buy the games you love but far far cheaper. End of gen wins.
The thread is about.
Has Xbone turned the corner. Is sales picking up ?.
The answer looks like NO. Xbone sales have dropped significantly. It just sold well for 2-3 days, now it is languishing in the 90th place of gamestop best seller list.
Microsoft still has work to do. Either it can be price cut, announcing more exclusives or cloud tech. They need to do some thing to get xbone in the top 40 like other consoles (PS4 & WiiU).
Don't forget that super hot Borderlands 2 Limited Edition PlayStation Vita Starter Bundle that's currently in 18th place! Damn, Vita future here we come!!! Perhaps you should take a step back and not focus so much on gamestop bestseller lists.
Then waitI keep thinking I should buy one soon, but for what? There are games I would play on it, but sunset overdrive, forza and Halo MC aren't out until fall, this thing can only get cheaper until then and they could even do a bundle. I need to wait for that sweet, sweet bomba.
Checked gamestop's list yesterday and the PS3 and Xbox 360 were higher than their successors too. Guess current gen is doomed.

Yep at this point I'm hoping for a nice 1tb model bundled with a game or two for $400 holiday 2015 when shit gets real.

Are SE really in a dire situation?! And listing Atlus and Sega is kinda redundant. ;pSquare, Atlus, Capcom, Sega and so many pubs are in dire situations. PS3 days were far different from where we are today in the industry.
This makes perfect sense to me. Everyone is always trying to point to that one big system seller exclusive title, but it really seems like the days of people buying consoles for exclusives are coming to an end for the majority of people. It's the big third party games that sell systems these days, and where people get them will be determined by where the better third party games are, and where their friends are playing. A new Halo is going to do more in convincing someone to pick up a secondary system than it will to convince someone to get an XB1 over a PS4. As long as people believe that the PS4 is the better multi-platform console, then no exclusive is going to convince them that the XB1 is a better buy unless their friends are already playing there.Yeah, I can't post the exact inventory numbers, though, those exact numbers stopped being as dramatic or really interesting once consistent shipments were readily available for both systems. Now it's more the trends I see looking over the various districts.
And, as far as I can see... The Kinectless bundle has sold some systems, it's selling. Just like the Original and TF bundles sell, just... not a lot. We've seen definite interest in the MC Collection, though it seems like most of the people pre-ordering it (and there's been quite a few), already have an X1. It hasn't been generating a lot of "Now I *have* to have one!" Maybe Halo 5 will be that big seller, but we're just not seeing like, a resurgence of potent interest, it's not accelerating things much, at least in the 5-6 districts I did a scan of.
If you're just getting it for exclusives, smarter to wait til the end of generation and get it at fire sale prices. This is the easiest gen ever to wait since you have to buy online for it.
First time ever I'm not buying all three day one and I'm free!
Damn this became an Xbox Doom thread quick last time I checked it everything was all good.
They give a good general view of what people are buying.Love the trend in here of using online retailer best selling lists to forecast overall sales for a console. Great stuff.

I personally plan on eventually getting an XB1, but there isn't any one exclusive that is going to make me get one. I buy a system for multiple games, and since I have no intention of ever playing a third party game on the XB1, there has to be a lot of exclusives that I want to play in order for me to be able to justify the cost. Part of it also has to do with the fact that not only do I need multiple exclusives to play, but I need the time to play them. Based on the flow of games coming out from September through Spring of next year, I probably won't end up getting an XB1 until next Summer when I will have time for it, and by then I will also be able to get the exclusives that I want at a much cheaper price.
Friends. My son asked me about preordering FIFA 15, but he isn't sure whether to get it on PS4 or XB1. He liked FIFA 14 on PS4, but more of his friends are likely to be getting Xb1s this autumn (they mostly had 360s before), so he might get it on that instead.
