Man this is so sad this is what passes as good news for the xbone relative to the ps4. They might win an npd in nov and or dec at best, and a few weeks in the uk which is a tiny fraction of the overall european markets total numbers. I guess whatever makes people happy enjoy these small victories cause after the holidays its just gonna go back to the way it was the first 10 months except microsoft will eventually run out of price drops and free games to artifically boost their sagging numbers.


Is there a point to this downplaying? Its pretty sad.

Yep sounds like a few people here are upset as they were expecting their console of choice to cruise over the finish line unchallened.  And given the amount of resources MS have poured into their most recent effort to reinvigerate its competitiveness in the consiole race (just beacause they can) it seems to have made some folk even more itchy...

If after all they have done they cant win consistantly globally then its not a reinvigoration.  Its just losing by less for a small seasonal period, and then regressing back to the mean.  Which after the cuts and holidays is the scenario that will most likely happen if not i will admit i was wrong, but i wouldnt bet on anything close to a comeback not with the margins we have seen thus far in the US let alone europe and japan.
