when it's going to be released?



“On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” - Satoru Iwata

Is this reliable? http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/npd-group-ps4-outsells-xbox-one-during-march-2017-while-switch-takes-top-spot-40187#6TjrG14IfxEvOqSO.99

Edit: I guess it only has MS PR, everything else is "speculation"



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

NNID: Slarvax - Steam: Slarvax - Friend Code:  SW 7885-0552-5988

Switch > PS4 > XB1



So, more than 500k? I wonder how much more.

Switch should be at least 550k-600k, they would need that much from the US market to hit 2 mill WW.

Neogaf is using it right now. Other than that - no clue.

Thank you !

 

MS PR time.


So far only Microsoft has come out with a public statement regarding the results. Xbox Corporate Vice President of Marketing Mike Nichols shared the following:
 

This past quarter, from January to March 2017, we saw record Xbox Live engagement with 1.1 billion multiplayer hours logged globally, a 14 percent increase year-over-year. Looking ahead, we are excited to share more about our plans for Xbox One, including launching the world’s most powerful console – Project Scorpio – alongside an amazing lineup of new Xbox One games. We are thrilled with the incredible response we have received to date for Project Scorpio, and look forward to sharing more about the Xbox One family of devices in the coming months.





MS couldnt even use the this month when comparing YoY improvements even in their rather meaningless xbox live activity scale. their PR is really hitting the bottom of the barrel.



Interesting that when talking about hours played on Xbox Live Microsoft isn't talking about just the month, they're talking about the entire quarter. Amount of hours played in March down YoY?

really, other than MS's PR team, who cares?
