| fatslob-:O said: Negative press amongst game journalists and forums means nothing about real world reception of the said platform plus Japan is irrelevant for the most part seeing as how all consoles are doing sub 10K weakly including the WII U. I wouldn't put a whole lot of trust either towards vgchartz numbers so I don't see why the WII U would do better in europe than X1. |
Really? So all the negative press that the X1 saw during it's initial reveal has done nothing to hurt it's sales? The 360 had MASSIVE momentum heading into this gen in the US, it trounced the PS3 in the NA market! Fast forward to this Gen, and that massive momentum that MS had built has shifted into Sony's camp! Sony was able to erase a massive gap in the NA market now currently holds top spot while small it's still absolutely huge change in momentum. This is largely do do with the massive amounts of negative press from forums and game journalists. I am not sure how you can completely dismiss that! I can walk into any store and see far more X1's on the shelves and even software than PS4's! Wal-mart is constantly sold out of PS4's (last 3 times I have gone) while X1's remain on the shelves. This was a MS stronghold last game, many people I know who were also MS fans last Gen were turned off the X1 because of the bad press and switched. MS is suffering from it all you have to do is look at the sales.
