April NPD will give us a true look at what the rest of the year will look like.
As Titan Fall and the effect of the price cut wears down, we will see the true demand for the console.
The PS4 will likely drop as well.

Kinect is about to get dropped like a bad Hobbit. But I'm not sure even a $399 XBone has a chance at this point.

There's only so much money to spend. I think hardware being up 78% can forgive software sales from being down.
Disgusting.

Me too. Surprised. Kinectless sku for 349 at e3?

If you're equating the five years of development hell of Infinite to Titanfall you're misinformed.
Infinite cost lots of money, that's why 2K killed Irrational, their dev cycles are too long and expensive for the money they are getting.

Watch out someone from IGN will think you are misrepresenting them.
You forgot more expensive (to make).
Christ, that is just bad reading comprehension. The gaming journalists way!
It's definitely not LTD. I think it's for the month.
Actually that brings up the question, does the Xbox One still have a higher software tie in ratio than the PS4? Or did the PS4 pass it with its recent sales?
Thank you. So there's a mix of downward seasonal trending in the with any bump from Titanfall, which put them at basically a flat weekly sales rate.

Is it possible the ps4 was still supply block even in March ?
Yeah, you can't do better than 1#. Respawn should be proud.

Man with all this going the PS4s way I hope they don't get sloppy over at Sony.
I love competition between these companies. Early price cuts and sweet bundles for all the consumers. Cant wait for E3!
Good on Sony this month.

There is no question about if Titanfall outsold ISS in the US. MS PR blog title explicitly states it.

Only 1.1 million Xbone shipped this quarter. Previous quarter MS shipped 3.9. Next quarter will be even less since there are plenty of Xbone on the shelves.

Just wanna say for the people saying the XO is in less countries:
In Belgium, the Xbox One 'officially' comes out next september. However since February you can find it in any shop (imported from Tier 1 countries)... and yeah it doesnt sell. PS4 is still hard to find by the way..

In the echo chamber of core gaming websites people were convinced Titalfall would have a bigger impact than it did. Plus there was the XB1 being closer than expected to the PS4 last month, people just assumed that would be an easy win for the XB1 this month. I really didn't see a clear outcome.

A substantial price-drop before the holiday's seems likely at this point. But price-parity wouldn't allow them to regain marketshare, they'd have to actually cut below what Sony is charging. Given the X1 is now starting to be viewed by common consumers as having inferior hardware it's unclear to me if this would reverse their fortunes. Also there are some cases where drastic price-drops negatively affect consumers view of the product. Perhaps Microsoft can be satisfied with having no main market? As long as the division isn't living off the companies more lucrative divisions it could be seen as a serviceable (not the right word a bit tired)? Either way I know companies don't care about who "wins" a month of sales, but the fact that they couldn't even keep week over week sales higher than last month with a price-cut, a killer-app, and lord knows how much advertising; Mr. Spencer really has his work cut out for him.
Can someone please explain to me what is a SKU and why it didn't chart in the combined SKU?
Only 146 million units sold to go

Thanks! Assuming 60% of Xbones are sold in US that means Xbone WW number is ~4.2 mil.

And what verifiable sources are there exactly? Why doesn't MS just turn around and say that they sold 8 million worldwide if it's so easy to get away with straight up lying? This is some conspiracy level shit.
They said over 5m. We don't know how much they've shipped yet.
Yeah that's a fair point too.
If you drop $400-$500 on a console you're probably not buying as much software.

UK is down YTD in software right now. Both in units and £. So we have to ride out the rapid erosion of last-gen and let new-gen really grow.
C'mon, Polygon.
