You guys are BRUTAL.

Anyway, congrats to the One. Hope the boost continues through the Holidays. :)

Seems many still have problems with last generation where PS3 was not set to dominate and especially didn't. Now everything has to be killed before anyone could even possibly think of anything positive regarding the competition.

Or they are just looking at it a little more objectively. This has nothing to do with PS3. Bringing up the PS3 in this thread is damage control at best. Nobody cares what happened 7 years ago in a different gen with a different console from a different company.

 

Let us just assume for the moment that they are in fact back to April sales rate. Due to that previous sales rate (April) they chose to effectively kill the Kinect by dropping it from the XBox One. They did this to increase sales from the April base line.

If the best the Kinect less SKU and $100 price drop did was basically keep it where it was in April (before the price cut announcement), how is that good? They might be right back to the sales that initially spurred the price drop and ditching of Kinect.

 

Is it doom? No, but it isn't anything MS is getting all giddy about either.

NPD will give us a better idea. Only a few hours to go.
