Forums - Microsoft - Xbox Empire - New thread up soon!

MS shows again and again that they don't really care much about other markets if it comes to Xbox. There is always much talking but their investments in marketing, apps for the console, many other stuff or simply their price policy shows that they are like "we try to be successful in America and UK and in the rest of the world we accept whatever will happen without much effort"

Was hoping that it will change with Spencer but it seems as if he is even more thinking like that. 

That wouldn't be such a problem for me if that wouldn't mean that pretty much everyone buys Playstation here so that I can play my Halo or whatever else mostly alone or with people I don't know in real life. 

I mean, for me the strength of Xbox is especially multiplayer experiences and exactly this suffers most with low sales in a country.

Seems VGC was pretty accurate this month with XBO. 1.2m NPD




       

Favorite Rare IP is Perfect Dark for me too, though I've only played PD so I'm pretty biased. .

Also congrats to MS for doing well in NPD, almost spot on tracking by VGChartz.

Great game, have fun!



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

Yeah they do need to make the price more competitive in Europe than what it is right now.

What does VGC have for the month?

The tools section doesn't seem to want to work for me so I can't check

1.26m I think, so they only overtracked by 60k. 

No, that 1.2m is a very rough figure, could easily be 1.3m.

We hear you. Today was an NPD day and our US announce but we know Xbox fans are global and we need to focus on WW value.

About time, I know some guys who are waiting for a price cut here in Portugal.

Not sure why they have some 2014 games in the montage, but whatever xD

 

Yup, the price cut is now official. It doesn't even mention promotion.

Made for the holiday I imagine. No Quantum Break, Forza 6, Inside, Screamride, Halo 5 ect.

So hopefully in the next few weeks we'll see some cuts outside of the US. Xbox definitely needs to be cheaper than PS4 in most of the major markets at least, if not worldwide.

They should do a meaty price cut with new bundles (Evolve, Screamride or Witcher).
