Around the Network

Actually the Kinect-less X1 isn't available until Monday the 9th it should give it a halfway decent boost. A very good lineup of games at E3 will give it a much bigger boost.



For what it's worth, I live in New York and our Hockey team made it to the NHL finals. Watched game 2 of the series just now (screw the referees btw) and I've seen the commercial featuring the Kinect-less Xbox One at least 6-7 times on NBC. And I am pretty certain it will air quite often tomorrow during the NBA finals. Hopefully it puts enough eyes on the console.



The impact will be quite underwhelming. It will be bigger at first of course, nothing substantial though.



Excited to see how this affects sales!

Seriously, there is about 85-100M xbox and ps3 buyers/fans out there. They will more than likely purchase in the future. There really is no rush to buy the new systems. Killer Instinct is great tho. Bring on the new characters.



With $400 price drop, E3 buzz, and no Kinect as a plus

I don't see why it couldn't creep up from the 100-150k monthly global sales to something like 300k or tiny bit higher. I think really depends on E3 a lot more than just going Kinect free as a plus.

Last time i checked the xbox one outsold the ps4 several times on several weeks and it was still $500. I have been checking the sales every week and i  saw the xbox one selling more. The ps4 sometimes outsold it on several weeks also. It is pretty amazing how the xbox one outsold it even after the higher price tag so that tells me once the new sku rolls out then the xbox will be back on top or very close. 

I was under the impression that the only time it outsold the PS4 was December and that was due to stock issues... so not sure how you got that it sold more on a weekly basis other than that? unless i missed something.

(Please dont tell me you used VGC weekly data to state that it sold more over the course of a few weeks in a month and then got outsold by the PS4 when it was all tallied up).

On the subject, I think the person who mentioned summer/world cup.. that will have an impact, probably less USA so than rest of world, but gaming always dropped off at this time, so unless MS have some big - AAA game is out in June/July... sales wont go up by much imho. I think this is why Sony will have a few HD games coming out in the next month to counter this before the September spikes come along. No suprise that TLOU is rumoured to be coming in June, it's a dead month for gaming usually.

Rumours that a RDR or GTAV port would certainly help MS's cause if its in the summer and exclusive to their platform for one or two months. That's effectively what they need to do if they intend to close that gap. I mean in Titanfall month the gap was what 60k... that's crazy.

I'd like to see your numbers and your sources saying the ps4 has been outselling the xbox one every single week starting from this year. The charts have been saying the xbox one sold more than ps4 and vice versa. Please state your sources for claiming the ps4 sold better every single week starting from this year....i am waiting.


Have you tried checking NPD? http://venturebeat.com/2014/02/13/january-2014-npd-playstation-4-extends-its-lead/

I'm fairly sure NPD has shown Ps4 ahead every week. if you can find sources that show NPD(not VGC) showing ps4 wasn't ahead every week please do.

If you're gonna provide me sources please make sure the links work. All are "not found"



I have dibs on the possible "So, Kinectless-SKU didn't move consoles" thread

They worked just fine. Google any article for NPD from those months. That's my bad tho. There is an unintended space at the end. Just delete it.
