Kinect Sports Rivals launched.

This. Why the sudden +15% in UK and +12% in US ?

That 15% boost adds up to ~1500 consoles.

With hardware sales happening at many major retailers and a new game launching, a boost like this isnt really surprising.

Not really. One or two deals, thats about it.

The main boost comes down to Kinect Sports Rivals. Its the first real Kinect effort on Xbox One, so the people who enjoyed Kinect Adventures/ Sports on Xbox 360 will look at it as a system seller.

Expect it to have great legs.

Right now, from what I can see online, XBox is sold at great discounts in the UK;

Zavvi has solus package at GBP 349 (equaling the price of PS4)

Base.com gives you a retail copy of Titanfall for GBP 385

Game gives you Titanfall bundle along with retail CoD Ghosts for RRP of 399

Amazon.co.uk has Titanfall bundle at 349, a wonderful deal.

Basically, if we presume about a 750,000 unit surplus at retail warehouses (and about 150,000 of those in the UK approximately), it seems that retailers are having a massive stock clearance sale on XOne.

And sure, it will definitely drive up sales numbers, putting it ahead of PS4 for a month. At this rate, it will take 10 weeks for retailers to get rid of excess XOne stock, pushing it well into May. PS4 might get a bump from Watch Dogs to make May close, however.

But I seriosly wonder what this means for Microsoft's shipped number!? How many more units can they ship to retailers at this rate. They were successful to unload stock in March due to Titanfall bundle, but without any new games, I think it will be a huge accomplishment if they are able to announce "6 million shipped" at E3.

So you are conveniently ignoring the fact that the X1 is also lacking good AAA exclusives, and that could be the reason for Titanfall (X1)'s huge sales? This is the definition of hypocracy.

So why just downplaying I:SS sales and saying only good words for TF?! When it's the same case or even worse.. the game is bundled on a console also lacking AAA software with a userbase that loves shooters (did in the past), in a country that loves shooters and supposedly Xbox...

@underlined: i would believe that, if PS4 didnt have more games. but wait, it does. 

Don't spin it. You were clearly praising Titanfall and downplaying Infamous. Btw you can't call any game average unless you play them. Infamous 1 was decent and 2 was good while Second Son was incredible (clearly the series needed the power of the PS4) so calling them average doesn't make it a universal truth.

Yeah... I don't want to know what the week before MK8 will look like. Its scary that the baseline might drop to 20k or below. The week before MK8 should drop lower than that because people waiting a week to pick up the console.
