Pre-emptive strike perhaps?

they also lied in the press release. X1 is not the only place to play FH2 and Ori

Nice Catch. But not just those two lies: "Xbox One is the only place you can play these games along with creative independent titles and blockbusters such as Assassin’s Creed UnityCall of Duty: Advanced WarfareDestinyEvolveGrand Theft Auto V, and dozens more."

You guys are BRUTAL.

Anyway, congrats to the One. Hope the boost continues through the Holidays. :)



I haven't even switch over to next gen yet cause still enjoying my ps3.But if I do it will be ps4 my console to buy



Around 160k at most. If thy were the top selling you would defiinely have heard it from them. Just trying to cover their arses before tomorrows results. Either way, saying it is more than double previous month is a pathetic thing to mention seen as the Xbox one without the kinect bundle was revealed more than a month ago so no wonder they did double. The announcement of the price cut practically collapsed May sales

Xboxone April 2014 total (4 weeks): 115K for a weekly average of 28.75K

Xboxone May 2014 total (4 weeks): 77K for a weekly average of 19.25K

Xboxone June 2014 total (5 weeks): ~155K for a weekly average of 31K

Xbox One is the only place you can play FH2, Ori, and AC Unity if you're using only one console.

Classic PR spin by MS, remove Unity and the rest can be done with a 360.  But you're right, with Unity the XB1 is the only console you can play them all. 

Edit - scratch that, missed Evolve. Still, good wordsmithing by MS.

People, it says more than double. Why are people just multiplying may and saying that's it? June will also have a week of poor sales leading up to the price drop.

Just food for thought.


Not to mention this exact situation happened in July 2007 where PS3 got a $100 price cut and sold 159k NPD while 360 was closer to 200k. But no, doom for X1 as usual.

There was PLENTY of doom and gloom for PS3 back in the day. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

So that's 2 of the 4 popular multiplats mentioned. What's wrong with that?



It looks like price drop needed to happen at the same time as a major release to give a major boost to sales. Hopefully for MS, the PS4 numbers are not too far head this month. If the PS4 beats it by over 50% (~225k) in the month of the price drop, it will hard for MS to do anything to boost sales before Halo. Time to start bundling software with the $399 version.

Seems many still have problems with last generation where PS3 was not set to dominate and especially didn't. Now everything has to be killed before anyone could even possibly think of anything positive regarding the competition.
