Why would someone preorder a console that's already out? I realize this version is new, but I think anyone who didn't jump in doesn't need it DAY ONE. I feel like preorders tell a lot less of a story in a case like this. No preorders for a "game of the year" edition if games way after the fact, for a reason.

Hellz ya, Titanfall 360 ftw! (See I made a snarky joke into a super cereal observation on your part) |
You're right. Now we know why they held that version back. Plus it now explains why XBone sales dipped after the release of the 360 version.

Exactly! See someone understands ;)
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Someone better tell MS to cancel the 360 version of Project Spark then.

Its only been 2 days. Give it some time. Most people don't even know there was a price cut.

You know, gamers who don't need to feed their habit of anonymous validation online :) Furthermore....why preorder when you could just, I don't know, walk in to a store any buy it June 9? |
That's just not true. When it was announced, "Kinect" was a worldwide trending topic on Twitter. Meaning millions of people were talking about it. If you were interested in getting an XBone and just googled "Xbox One", everything on the first two pages was about the Kinect-less XBone. On Facebook, in the top right corner (under where you get notified for events and birthdays) had "Xbox One" as a worldwide trending topic as well, and Facebook has more users than Twitter.
Not all gaming news is limited to the "forum goer" audience. On social media, you need millions upon millions of mentions of that topic to be trending. The fact that "Kinect" and "Xbox One" were mentioned by several millions of people when the Kinect-less XBone was announced means that more than the "forum dwellers" know about it. It's safe to say average gamers know about it. Unless you think "forum goers" make up all of social media

Regardless nothing is going to change till after E3 and most likely not until fall when holiday sales kick in and games worth playing are actually released. It will sell very well this holiday. I expect it to outsell PS4 in NA. |
It's right we can't judge on preorders.
But even if it should increase sells, I don't believe it will sell very well : they failed to build the hype and make 360 owners in NA go without 2nd though to the xbox one, and I think the damage is definitely done. Now, they are facing Sony without a 1 year lead with a bigger user base, without price advantage, without a positive hype and better multi-platform games, so I don't see any reason to outsell significantly.
