Very good 20 5.35%
 
ok 63 16.84%
 
meh 88 23.53%
 
bad 103 27.54%
 
horrible 36 9.63%
 
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM 64 17.11%
 
Total:374

Just a question, what do you think?

My estimate are XB360 at 500,000, and XBO at 1,100,000, that mean XB360 down by 37% compared to last year (800,000), and XBO down by 8% (1,200,000).

 

Opinion?



Around the Network

I vote for "meh".



Around meh to not good. Being in more countries + $150 price reduction havent done much for the console.



Well, it's not good, but we also have to consider that for the numbers we have from Jan 3rd through March 21st; the PS4 is actually also down yoy compared to last year, so I'm not shocked. It has quite simply not been a very good quarter, and this is exactly why I told everyone to hold their horses through 2014 as well, there was crazy talk about 20 million + PS4's selling in 2015.
The console market appears not to be as healthy as many assumed and both MS and Sony need to take action to gain healthy growth through the year.
And they will, MS have already done a fair bit but they are both still lacking their flagship software and there is still room for pricing strategies, I think they'll lower the price of both the PS4 and the One sometime in Q4.

For now though; things aren't as smooth as many would like and I still think we'll see normal growth from MS and Sony by the end of the calendar year, but nothing beyond that. This will be the year where the Wii shows how crazy fast it was selling when you align launches.

PS4 still has the same entry price. The XBO does not. Major difference.



They've upped advertising, curbed policies, cut prices, bundled, etc.

And the results are that they're either doing the same or worse, depending on how much of that count is the 360.

That's getting a "horrible" from me.

But ps4 had Bloodborne and The Order plus Japan for the full three months.  So essentially ps4 did terrible as well.

Maybe your right, but another important factor: no games VS Titanfall, and 150$ dropped only in the US.

But i do agree that is not looking good...
