Remember that Microsoft has a marketing deal with NFL for Madden, a marketing deal around $400M...

Yea, the investors probably aren't too happy about that deal, now.  $400M, and for what?  The PS4 to still outsell you in the month of release.  They aren't really netting much of anything from that deal.  That's why I've been saying I think 2014 is going to be the last year you really see these BIG moneyhatting deals from Xbox.  After this year, if things keep going as is, investors are really going to be breathing down their necks about all the wasted spending.

$400 million is mostly for NFL to use and showcase Surface tablets, and to have logos plastered everywhere. Very little to do with XBox altogether.

nearly doubled = software?
such confusion


I like the question on GAF..."you would think they would clarify"...LOL...yeah, like they "clarified" Tomb Raider's exclusivity?  These guys at MS are lying scum.  Nah, that's insulting to actual scum...they are typical PR guys...about as trustworthy as your average politician.  (and I don't care if politicians are insulted)

How times have changed. Microsoft were always happy to shout from the rooftops (as well as that polygon numpty) about 360s success month after month.

As soon as XB1 outsells PS4 for even 1 month they'll shout it from the rooftops again.

A lead that sony will close in a month, regardless of how long they wait to release the PS4 in China!

Xbox One is going to be second place confirmed. PS4 is 1st, xbox one is 2nd and Wii U is way last. Not surprising. Now that Microsoft released in new territories and with games like Destiny for September , Microsoft will do very well in September.

Um.  No, they wont.  PS4 isn't launching in China for a while, but you can expect the PS4 to dominate China, just like they are WITH EVERY OTHER SINGLE MARKET they are in, including North America!
