This gen was so bad for them, that they actually killed their box, to boost their expansive strategy of being on every device.
Op says that he keeps seeing turn around threads. Theres only one recent thread.
Op says he keeps seeing turn around threads. Uses Amazon which is unreliable for hardware sales and also uses suspicious image sources with no direct links.
Op says he keeps seeing turn around threads, uses fake image of a Minecraft bundle price that doesnt exist. The cheapest Minecraft bundle is $235 for a discontinued unit sold by a third party seller.
Thus this thread is fake, mods will be notified, and this thread will be hopefully closed.
I captured the image yesterday it's real the price just went back up but you can still get a NBA 2K19 bundle for $5 more
Nothings fake here buddy Xbox One S & Xbox One X sales are low right now & most likely will not pick up unless the discless Xbox One is really cheap like $99 - $149 cheap or bundled with a lot of games with great marketing ,

It's amazing how stupid you are. I call out your BS, you insult my intelligence by saying "you" took the screenshots yesterday like If I can't trace the source of the picture, and then prove I was right anyway.
"Minecraft bundle $250[discontinued]"
As I said in my post, you not only got the price wrong, but it's for a discontinued unit. So how was I not right?
Also you didnt address the other 2 points either. Theres only one recent thread, you saying "I keep seeing" is exagerrated junk. Also using Amazon for hardware info in general has for a long time been disapproved by this board.
You never made any point in this thread just pulling some BS to produce a troll thread. Not very healthy for the community.
Unless you can show me that current Xbox One S model for $219? If you're not lying surely you could find it again? You're OP had an active model for $219, where is it?
Oh I'm stupid because you're not smart enough to realize that the $219 bundle sold out? lol
Time to lock the thread, title is a lie, picture is a lie, using Amazon. As a performance indicator for hardware, using discontinued model for a fake argument, and the original claim of $219 cajt he produced
Amazon is in the title I make it clear that this is Amazon but you can also get a Xbox One S with a game for $219 at Walmart right now

Phil got more money from the Cloud Boy last year, the money in part is to get all the Xbox users over to digital so eventually they can offer all the services in the cloud. The marketing/pr is being used in a big way to help keep their customers until all the cloud services are built so they can transition them over.Microsoft are burning up revenue and profits just to pretend theyre even relevant.
That's because the PS4 Fifa bundles & 1TB PS4's are sold out right now
This is why I was confused about the discless S rumor. Make a cheaper discless X (relax, Shackles) as that’s a system people probably want to own more than an S.
I love how you get any 'positive' related Xbox news, and a small group of users simply have to 'prove' it wrong, at all costs.
Hopefully next gen Xbox can recover some of its lost steam and get back to a 360 level.

That’s what we call a mic drop moment.
Yes how dare someone post any positive Xbox threads on NeoGaf, how ridiculous of him. And victim mentality?, i'm a PC gamer, check my post history.This is disingenuous.
Kain has posted at least 4 legitimate clickbait MS propaganda threads in the last 10 days. That’s not “positive Xbox news.”
Drop the victim mentality.

Its not about Xbox per se, its about all natively Microsoft processing - they want to move it to the cloud, generally speaking. All the services are not completed yet.
I love Xbox, and do sometimes sound a little too on their side. But I own and enjoy all consoles. I do have a preference yes, it I have no horse to back. As long as good games come, I’m golden.
That said, oh man... I hope to god that next gen MS comes out swinging and totally wipes the floor with Sony, just to see the salt all over the Internet. It will be glorious. The meltdowns will be glorious. I mean threads like this exist purely because of a single threads positive MS news... How sad...
I agree with you on that. All this talk of investment in xbox is a ruse to keep people invested long enough in hopes that they migrate to the xcloud/game pass. Its worth mentioning that Brad Samms and some other MS insiders said Gamepass isn't performing very well. Xbox is a dead platform propped up by a trillion dollar company. The market has spoken but Microsft doesn't care and I fear of the long term damage they will do with them buying up studios and what not.
I'm shocked that the console in 3rd place is the least popular on the largest online retailer.
This post is super enlightening.
If it ain't now, it certainly will be soon.Xbox is 2nd place, when did it become third?
Who cares at this point really. PS4 ran with it ages ago. Beating a dead horse now. Next gen is around the corner so let's look forward to that.
#AtLeastItStartedAConversation (About meaningless Amazon metrics that don't reflect the realities of the industry)It's worth talking about. We can have discussions on multiple things at the same time.
Why do we keep getting these false stories of a Xbox One turn around & so on when it's lagging behind worse than ever even when you can get it for $80 cheaper than the competition with a game bundled in?
There's gotta be some kind of through-line here. Conspiracy? Collusion? Corruption?But guys, I have sales stats from Babbage's that prove all of this wrong. However they don't align with the stats from Sky City, Roses, & Brendles, so I'll have to get back with you once I figure this all out.
The ops literally lying about the $219. While lying about xbox performance using limited quantity third party sellers. Even backtracked to Wal-Mart where he once again used limited quantity third party sellers to act like to shows nationwide performance.
Never had you down as a fanboy onQ123 (still don't) i've seen you say some positive things about Xbox i think from memory, but this thread don't look good.
Getting a bit sad now. Lock it down, boys.
This is why the xbox One discless version will flop. No one wants that console performance.
Yeah sorry, don't know why i used fanboy term, maybe i was getting you mixed up with Demi perm or someone like that.This isn't about being a fanboy I give props whenever I see any console doing good I'm just pointing out the fact that PS4 & Switch are selling better at full price with no games bundled in vs Xbox One S at a big discount with games bundled in.
Most people don't really care about power that is just something you see people fighting about online . A discless Xbox One could go after the FireTV market if it's small enough & cheap enough.
Marketing is really important in this case.

Yeah this is the one.Gotta love fanboys like this dude always throwing out the term fanboys on other people like they aren't one.

Not sure how they fit a Xbox One into a stick device, guess I'm not seeing the FireTV comparsion, if we're talking streaming, yes, you could go with a thin-client design which is probably what Google will be releasing if I were to guess. A Xbox One slim even without a disc drive is still going to be fairly big, you might be able to shave 20-30% off with no drive as far as weight.
Not sure what one does with the HDD, even if you shrink everything else, plus you have internal power supply. (not sure what the power requirements are and whether you can run off a tv usb for power?)
