Those Xbox sales are epic.

I've said from the outset that all Microsoft needs to do is be competitive. They don't need to 'win.' They just need to sell a viable and large number of consoles. It won't particularly matter if 50% or more of them are sold in America, that market can sustain the console comfortably!

It matter for fans like me who see that they can't play with any real life friends online because MS doesn't try to sell their console to my real life friends in Germany^^

Also a reason why I still don't own an XBO but I will soon if nothing stupid happens.

Yeah fair enough I guess.

Still, my point is that to get all major third party titles, and to have an economic ability to secure exclusives, you just need a critical mass!



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Yeah, I shouldn't have waded into that mess either. When will I learn? Microsoft must be doing something right if they can stir up the hornet's nest that badly though xD

Yeah that thread is nuts. Enough salt in there for a lifetime supply of popcorn. Lol

Are the Halo servers down or something? Can't find a match at all now.


Same. I was finding matches normally earlier today within 1-2 minutes and I've been searching for 15 mins now with no luck. Might go back to campaign :(



One of the funniest things is Toastboy making a prediction, everyone thinking he's crazy, then he is proved right. 9 hours ago he posed the question of XB1 selling 7.5-8 million, and then MSFT releases these 10 million shipped numbers essentially making those sold numbers look legit.

well they said "shipped soon" which can mean shipped after Black Friday or maybe even something in December (but no clue, really). Question is why it seems to be a crime to say that you will reach 10m soon as as long as this is true and doesn't mean "June 2015" lol.

Xbox One Sales on the Rise

he past few weeks have been incredibly exciting, marked by a series of highly-anticipated game and bundle launches and the most affordable prices yet for Xbox One. We are humbled by the positive response to our new offerings and grateful for the support from our fans. 


Yesterday, we celebrated the arrival of the iconic Halo franchise on Xbox One, as Halo: The Master Chief Collection launched to millions of excited fans and an impressive Metacritic score of 89. Sunset Overdrive was recently named by IGN as the “Game of the Month” for October.  The new Xbox One bundles, which feature some of this holiday’s most anticipated games including Assassin’s Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Sunset Overdrive, hit store shelves with a limited time offer of $50 off any Xbox One of your choice. Starting as low as $349 in the US, the Xbox One is more affordable than ever this holiday season.

The response to this wave of blockbuster game releases and new bundles has been amazing, and sales have skyrocketed since the new price took effect on Nov. 2. Compared to the previous week, Xbox One sales in the US have more than tripled, which is exciting as more and more friends will be playing together this holiday. As we head into the busy holiday season Xbox One led generation 8 console sales in the US for the past two weeks.  Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles.

Almost one year ago, I had the honor of shaking hands with hundreds of fans at our Xbox One launch in New York City. We have listened to your feedback and have worked hard to deliver hundreds of improvements to Xbox One, celebrated the launch of amazing new games, and sought ways to offer more value for you.  As we reach this milestone, I remain awestruck by your passion for games and your support of Xbox One.  Thank you for an incredible year.

Yusuf

Toasty my friend, is it you?  

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Forza 5 seems to have the same problems atm. Damn, I think online gaming is much less stable on the new consoles as it was on PS360 and that with all the investments in this direction...

The days after Christmas when everyone will get their PS4 or XBO as gift will be horrible to play online^^
