Words such as amazing should be reserved for the market leader which is way ahead. I'm gonna stick with only especially when you consider the firesale. 

you will do anything to downplay the results, I imagine they are very disappointing to you.

Yeah some people must really hate this news especially coupled with the fact that MS made a shit load of money..... again.. time and time again..Sony could only dream of making this kind of profit. Great result really.

Wow.

 

My gaming satisfaction is not altered by ms having their millionth successful quarter in a row. You really think I'm at home playing my ps4 and sweating it out over this? Some people are too caught up in all this. Glad I'm not one of them.

Yeah man I'm not convinced of that. I think you are one of those people lol! as a PS4 fan you spend way too much time on these xbox related threads arguing with people, especially when there is something remotely positive to talk about. Admit it lol u do care a great deal. I mean crickey look at the points you have racked up here. I actually can proudly say I have racked up a heap more in my gamer/ achievement points than I have talking about it Here. Don't get me wrong I do love this site but I'd much rather be playing a good game then rubbishing the competition all the time. 



Xbox 360 and Xbox One

Speaking about a healthy company
Xbox down like expected, surprised by the Surface numbers. Amazing that a company getting so much hate on the internet is that successful - they seem to be doing a lot of things damn right.

That's my assumption too... Likewise, as celador said, i expect Sony do it to hide the Vita's poor numbers.

The whole thing strikes me as rather silly though.

Indeed. MS are gonna have to update eventually and they're always gonna be behind, just a matter of fact. Though knowing MS, I can see them only talking about US figures and never mentioning WW sales (in any capacity) ever again lol.

Grrrr.

I suppose on the bright side both Sony and MS will be forced to present clear numbers once the PS3, 360 and Vita are inevitably discontinued. Hopefully, anyway :p Maybe we'll start getting X1 + Surface or PS4 + TV figures instead lol... (though i don't think either will actually do that).


Sony doesn't hide behind the PS3 anymore. Last quarter they started giving is the PS4 numbers and the PS3 numbers separately.

How do you get the $399 for manufacturing cost?! I guess you are quite wrong here...


I think he is using the data from the teardowns. If my memory isn't failing me, it costed US$ 470 with the Kinect, that costed around 75 bucks, so the kinectless model would probably be almost US$ 400, but they would have to include retailers margins and transportation costs + replacements, etc.

However, it's simplistic too look at the Xbox one profitability just from the hardware standpoint. It doesn't matter if you lose on the hardware (something both Sony and MS seems to do in the base unit, but by a much smaller margin than previous gens) if you are selling software.

Edit: all of the above supossing that the teardowns are precise (which I think they are, since Sony and MS stated in several ocasions that they just neet a PS+/Live subscription and/or game to break even) and based on the launch units, so any revision or manufacturing improvement can drive the cost down.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

M$ shares down a whopping 10% today for some reason



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Baryonyx on 27 January 2015

Personally, i am tired of all this, Shipped and sold. I rather wait until it's revealed some real numbers... They gotta come soon, cause the shipping to me seems like a smokescreen, but they should reveal it at E3, the XB1 did better then 360, even though Ps4 did better, it should count for something

Apparently MS' outlook is disappointing.

I talk about the big 3 in terms of sales equally.  Stop making things up. And why the hell would these numbers bother me when the ps4 has done better WW and is comfortably ahead in practically every region? You should stop assuming things about me.
