Haha. That pretty much nails it. The situation for MS must be *really* bad if they can't find any way to spin it whatsoever.
However, unlike a lot of people, I still think they can turn it around, and I'm looking forward to what they'll do to make that happen (because, ultimately, gamers should benefit).

I think this is Reggie's actual quote btw:
"In the two weeks prior to the launch, versus what we've seen now following the launch, we're selling at a daily rate four times higher than where we were before."
That's actually more specific than I expected. When was this quote actually reported by Reggie? Which publication did he report this to (in case someone needs to look this up)?

Well, Larry was watching the game. He was too busy to write something better.

Eh, it's only up 95% in terms of revenue. That's good news, no doubt, but it's not gonna be quite as good as you think.

What the hell.
Do you need a hug?
I didn't say increase in that post.
Edit: I checked back earlier in the thread and I had a 400% increase slip. But all the calculations are done with 4x => 48k per week

Unless he means: "Xbox One is off to the hottest start in Xbox One history....We look forward to the next chapter of the new generation."
In which case he's probably right.
Phil knew this would have happened when he announced the new xbox one price. maybe june npds might be better...

hottest start dude!!
Of every hot start of every console, Xbox One is the hottest of all of them!- How much hot?! eye-melting hot!!
It's not as high. Was 1% two years ago and supposedly grew significantly faster than anticipated, but I don't think they have more than 4% market share. Just thought it was interesting that it continued to rise for two weeks after the game launched. I don't think the absolute numbers can be deducted in any way or shape from those charts, but it might hint at trends. And it seems to match what Reggie hinted at I guess, so... maybe?

It's funny how their releases always HAVE to include some kind of superlative phrase. Hottest! Fastest! Leads Software Sales! FAMILY
Lol you post in theses threads every month. You know Sony doesn't put out PR.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Thanks Banana and Shinra - the mix-up was confusing at first.
Thank you for the clarifications.

Ho boy! Really need to see those XBone numbers now. Must have been horrific
Oh snap.
Oh okay, so we'll get a better idea of what effect MK8 had when June NPD rolls around. Wonder how much 3DS and PS4 sold?

Next chapter means:
"We're really looking forward to closing the book on everything that fuckwit Don Mattrick did because we're tired of getting our asses kicked up and down the street."
The price drop helps them begin to compete in this new "chapter," but it's not enough.
How often does Sony even report NPD numbers?

Hardware revenue or overall revenue? If hardware only, that'd be better with lower priced SKUs. If overall, yes, it's not as good.

At what point do we expect the Xbox 360 LTD during the same period to match the Xbox One?
The Xbox One was obviously very front loaded with its sales.
