So, basicaly there are still XBox Ones in the market that were shipped before the end of March??

That is incredible!

Microsoft shipped at least 5.8mi by the end of June and 7 week later it barely reachs the Q1 shippments (20 weeks)?


Significant overtracking and overloading of the channels/distribution.

I've heard friends deployed in Germany that they see Day One X1s on sale with two games taped to the box for 399!

So we're talking a LOT of unsold X1s out there stuffing up warehouses and retailers.

So, why no generalised price drops and promotions?

Amazon.de has all sku at full prices, and Amazon.it has only the Kinect blundle with a 11% discount.

Based on NPD we have the XOne sold 1.1mi units by June in the USA, 1.6mi for PS4, adding another 200k and 250k respectively for July .

And with Japan as a dead zone for the PS4, if we have more than 3mi PS4 for Europe alone!!! 

If Europe is realy a 3 to 1 situation we should expect 1mi XOne until the end of June.

That is a total of 2.6mi XOne sold this year. 5.6 life time. (ignoring other markets). 

The only explanation is that Europe is realy, realy pissed of with the XOne... and I don´t see a way to change that, unless a massive price drop.
