There's no Xbox family anymore. They haven't been on speaking terms since thanksgiving.

i never get tired of the masterful pR
Lol they could still be using it in mid 2016 till whatever big marketing deal\exclusive they have in fall launches
Did they have exclusives of any size in March? For retail I mean.

Thanks! They didn't mention beating 360 2nd March, but I doubt XB1 sold less 199K this time.
Oh, okay. Possible.
You want better spin? More creative? Lets not kid ourselves, part of the entertainment in these threads is the way MS PR tries to obfuscate poor data and make that data look better than it's (for those not in the know about the wording of PR statements).
What we all want to know is da gap this month.

Even that would not surprise me. Apart from Ori there was nothing of interest. And Ori is niche.
They still had the 1-year-old AssCreed Bundle as the top flagship out there...
Just Screamride I believe.

So if sales are down does that mean another xbox price cut coming? I sure hope so. I want the dev mode (for emulators) and a price cut. Surely that's not asking too much is it lol.

Officially announced release date? Halo 5?

So is this going to be 2014 all over again? I mean PS4 winning NPD every month except for Holidays? That's pretty boring. I want surprises! Shyamalanesque Tweests! 
I guess we'll have to wait until E3 or Gamescom for stuff to get real. Microsoft will surely counter with something big, no?

That's actually a fair point, since you would expect them to at the very least be 20% up compared to Feb by virtue of it being a five week tracking period. Them dodging the question of this month's hardware sales outside of a LTD comparison to the 360 does suggest March was not kind to the Xbone.

State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition in April 28, 2015.
They won't give you another pricecut till fall even if sale s are in the toilet unless Sony announces one.

If there is a price drop + star wars bundles and marketing with PS4, it won't be losing any month this year.
Halo 5 in terms of a game with a release date. I think Forza Motorsport 6 will come out before it though.
There's supposedly a few other exclusives releasing before the Fall though I would be surprised if they are retail games.
Edit:
Oh -- yeah. Forgot about this.

"Best selling console on Amazon. Most watched minutes on the Netflix app. No consoles fell. Bloodborne helped sell Berserk."
There you go /s
Cumulative.
Microsoft are saying that total sales of Xbox One from November 2013 to March 2015 are higher than those of Xbox 360 from November 2005 to March 2007.
That gap is somewhere in the region of 1.6m as of Feb 2015.
PS4 will lose october for sure
Oh yeah, aware of that. Someone was just asking for comparisons sake
You mean the tweet? ...I suppose it'll appear soon.

ah yeah thats right, forgot halo was October
Haha, yeah I guess it's possible.

Depends. A PS4 + Bloodborne + TLOU + The Order for $349 can do a lot of damage.

Eh... Sony would need to be quite dumb to let MS run away with the holiday season again... but you're probably right.

I agree. They are too well-behaving. A little teasing would be nice. The Mayor would surely do this. Come on, Boyes (or whoever takes care of this).

3 old games vs a new game which happen to be one of the biggest games of year? Halo 5 will win easily.
