I can't believe some of you guys are hating on this.
I like to read these stats and MS publishes them every now and then. This is not a weak counter to Sonys sales numbers at all.

But there MUST be a battle, right?


it's not really a battle of anything really, just a company coming out with a press statment about numbers that their new system is doing, you would tend to expect more than "how many rotations the combined fans in all the units have spun since launch" or "how many spins of the blue ray for forza has done in the drive combined" there really isn't much of a point to them.

Especially given that things such as miles driven in forza is just going to be wrong, not all the systems are connected to XBL so there are thousands of uncounted miles, means it's just a completely incorrect arbitary number.


So, because one company announced sales numbers the other company is not allowed to publish statistics for their games, even though they are doing this for years. Got it.
DAMN YOU MS!

*sigh*


I'm just saying that like everything else of news that appears from gaming, where did these numbers come from? how do they know how much driving and shooting was done on offline systems?

if this was wiki my [Citation needed] finger would be over worked :D

Exactly how many people do you really believe aren't online with an Xbox One?

And how many consoles sold?


This is a thread about what people are doing not console sales.

This is a site about sales + a PR statement boasting the early success of XBox One, sales would be more appropriate. If they can track the nr of miles driven in Forza, surely they can track how many consoles have downloaded the day 1 update and how many copies of each game are responsible for those stats.

Sony: We sold 2.1 million consoles since launch.
MS: Our users killed 3 billion zombies since launch.

So every thread on this site has to be shifted to sales?  WTF?

That's not what I said. Complaining about a sales question on a sales site is the weird part.
How are launch sales not relevant when boasting about launch activity.
An average per user would put these stats into perspective.

Meh. Nice playful PR. Either way looks like Xbox One and PS4 enjoyed great launches.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

100 Million paid for release day dlc

So you can randomly place sales questions in any thread and that is considered "On topic"...  WTF???
