Hey the WiiU outsold it! German gamers have seen the light!


But that's a gap that will close over time.


Yes, I also read it wrong...

Lose lose.

They cut price they lose more yet barely up the sales, the don't their sales are as irrelevant as they are now.

There just no patching the sinking ship that is X1 in mainland Europe.

The average German game console consumer is a lot smarter than the average US one. That makes it harder for MS to stay relevant there through marketing and giveaways alone when Sony provide better games, hardware, and services.

MS could step it up a little, but the only -really- strong thing they could do is better emulate Sony's creative role in the industry.


The average german game console consumer is smarter?

Services, microsoft provides more, look at xbox one features vs ps4. LOOK AT UPDATES, please. 

Hardware, goes to ps4. 

Games, really? BETTER games? Halo MCC, sunset overdrive, Forza horizon 2 beat driveclub, how does ps4 currently in this season, have the better games? 

Anyways, i think microsoft should focus on US and UK. biggest markets. US alone accounts for more than the rest of the world COMBINED. 



MS should just concentrate on dominating the US and forget about every other country, make X1 the number one thing in America and outsell the PS4 3:1.

'Murica!!

The arrogance of some Playstation fans is just amazing.

hahaha, as a german, I doubt that's true, people will surely gladly show you some of the german PS4 launch gifs ;)

although many of those individuals shown there were selling it on ebay afterwards

MS doesn't have a good name here and most gamers grew up with playstations, those probably are the main reasons for the PS4 doing this much better here.



Ah, and the thread transforms into a seething pile of stupid generalizations and dumb counter-generalizations. Good job to those involved.

Its not even a debate, the X1 has the better exclusives at the moment. That could change over time, but that's just the way it is for now.

MS should do whatever they can to move more units in all of Europe. They basically enjoy same types of games and American gamers anyhow. Perhaps they need to be more competitive with pricing.
