So over 160k then?


Over 154k. Could be less than 160, you never know!

115,000 for XB1 in April = 28,750/week
~160,000 for XB1 in June = 32,000/week

Big boost of 3,250/week? Woohooo!

Didn't it only sell 77k in May? Double would still be only 144k for this month :/

Regardless, it's still a big increase and good news. 77k is utter crap, 144k is respectable. Can't complain with that.


You've got to remember there would of been people holding off in May to buy at 399, plus this is a 5 week month. I'm not sure if it is that good.

5 week month, anything under a ~20% boost for the $399 SKU vs. April would be .. sad.

May can't truly be counted because everyone and their dog was claiming that people were holding off on XB1 so they could buy @ $399. That's why the sales hit the floor in May vs. April.

There's no way to slice it if the numbers are around 160k or less. The $399 SKU did virtually nothing compared to the lead-up to the price cut announcement.

OTOH, if the true number is closer to 200k, and they can sustain that over the next couple of months, that's not truly so terrible.

LOL at Ben V saying both consoles being very close to each other. I know Gamestop and all but it should be pretty representative of the overall market. And "more than double" means Xbone sold around 150k, which is awful. Xbone won't even be close to PS4 if it didn't even break 170k.

That's not good news, no matter what they are following.

A new sku dumping kintex and dooming what ever relevance it could have had. The new 399 xbox cost then dearly, To come second if not 3rd for the month is pretty telling of how bad things really are.

More than double (shhhhh ... May numbers!!)

By that metric, 77000 x2 = 144,001, basically. In a 5 week month.

Sounds to me like it's likely below April sales rate (divided by week to match proper sales rate).

Don't forget to carry the 1!




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

why are there so many people bad at math in this thread?
77 x 2 = 154, not 144...

Doh, yes! 154,000 :D So the ~160k sounds about correct.

This is your brain on severe fatigue :D
