I'm fairly certain they all bought Ouyas.


I would bet on PSP go.

So it should have increaesed but VGChartz shows Xb1 also down compared to PS4 in shipments.


They are to satisfied with their X360 so they didn't open the boxes so VGC didn't count the X1 sales.

Because we were all busy thinking ioi don't like Sony and was undertracking and forgot the bigger picture.

But ioi must decide how they will count the changes from PS4 to X1 (actually I think several people would gladly change Destiny PS4 or X1 for Halo MCC bundle if they could).

Those people will be only Halo fans who mostly alreay bought XB1 because they can get Halo there only, but not regular gamer who plays all games wont do that as they need it. Also all the Halo games are remasters not new games so its not important for regular gamer other than Halo fan. Lets see the sales of Halo MCC and how many are intersted in remaster other than new multiplatform games we have now.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

600k.. 1.5 or 2 weeks of sales?

More seriously, what are your sources for this calculation? or how did you come up with the number?

and nobody returned the XB1 bundles?
