Very very impressive given several factors:

The online negativity about the console, the $499 price point, and the weak market for Xbox in Europe.

They're really not too far behind PS4 likely (Sony announced 2.1 m in 16 days, whereas this is 2m in 18 days I believe).

In revenue terms for the same time period MS is likely way ahead due to the 25% higher price point.

I am sure PS4 is still more popular, XBO stays in stock longer. However I wonder how things would look if XBO was 399 like PS4.

this also proves the longstanding GAF FUD campaign about huge yield problems with XBO was nonsense, and what little credibility CBOAT had left has been shattered. I honestly wonder if MS could look into suing Neogaf for libel, given they conduct an orchestrated campaign against Xbox. Probably not.


Seriously any stick MS gets on neogaf is all of their own making and deservedly so for the way MS conducted themselves and Sony got similar stick for the ps3 launch, gaf just calls it like they see it there's no agenda there

nonsense, cboat has the most bitter hate imaginable for xbox and it shines through every post he makes. as does many of the posters on neogaf to be fair.

 

he said for months and months that xbox was suffering horrendous yield problems, the forum and even the wider internet to some extent took it as truth, it turned out to be a complete lie and fabrication, just as microsoft said all along.

 

oh well, at least i hope everybody realizes guys like cboat have zero credibility when it comes to bashing xbox in particular going forward, that's the only positive to come out of them being exposed so many times in recent weeks.

 

the ps3 bashing was never anything close to xbox bashing at any point. i was on neogaf in 2006. i would venture to say the majority defended ps3 in that time if anything, this idea ps3 was harrased in 2005-2006 isn't really true. it took some lumps but the scale was so much less.

 

i dont really think ms can sue a forum or a forum user for libel in this case, but the neogaf stuff was so egregious it almost becomes something to think about.


I read neogaf alot there's rabid fanboys on both sides and yes ms get alot of stick but it's to be e expected given how they conducted themselves and quotin. Cboat as neogaf is cherrypicking
