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

I'm fairly sure I got that in people's heads somehow :P

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.


Gamespot is not representative of it at all, that where core hardcore go.

No way are walmart or best buy inline with them.  Thats where Ps4 is killing the xbox1.

If the number is around 160k I honestly think that is awful. Over the 2 month tracking period, that would mean it did an average of 119k a month.

wtf where did you guys go to school? 77+77? lol cmon you should know this (its not 144)

Thought I was alone when saw 77+77=144. :P

Either way, double, is double. May not be 360 levels, and it may not beat the PS4, but it did something.


Double a 4 week month with a 5 week month + considering May was widely regarded as a 'throwaway' month due to the VERY early pre-announcement of the $399 SKU, actually is pretty terrible.

Compare the weekly sales to April. If 160k is correct, nothing has changed beyond about ~10%.

If it also turns out that most of the bump was accounted for in the first few days (pent up buyers who waited out May for the $399 SKU availability), then July could be considerably worse. At or below the ~28k/week of April again. In a 4 week month, means ~112k.

If you look at my previous post, that's EXACTLY what I now expect of July. ~112k + or - a few thousand at best.

It seems insane to believe that the bump lasted more than a few days given the numbers we now have (and discounting May as a 'broken' month for XB1).

Really great to see a bunch of smug comments all without the knowledge of simple maths. Great sight.
