imo MS stop sharing the numbers 'cause since X360 numbers are so small using the xbox family won't help to hide how behind Xone really is from PS4 in terms of shipments. |
they "hide" them, because ms and shareholder only care pheripherally about xbox shipments. espcially after the new approach of the gaming segment
only internet fanboys, consolewarrior, gamer and some salesjunkies care about them.
ms care about people getting into theire ecosystem, using live, spend money on games and ohter stuff.
they just change the providing indicators. form xbox units number to xbox hardware revenue and xbox live users (xbox live user are not only xbox one and 360 user). they also provide game revenue and live revenue
that is so much more and better information for shareholder.
only people complain about that are the ones, who desperately want to compare units number with the competition
the only damn thing ms should have done is an operating income between the 4 subsegments in the more personal computing segment instead of lumping them together.
look at samsung. they don't give phone units numbers, no1 cares and every1 know they're doing very well. sometimes the promote salesmilestones, but its not the general performance indicator
