Imagine that; people want to play GAMES on their consoles primarily, not use it for multimedia, cable-tv, voice recognition crap.

Shocking revelation.

 

Xbox One actually has had more retail releases for 2014 than Wii U. So you can play GAMES and use it for multimedia, cable-tv, voice recognition crap.

Shocking right?

That's not how it was originally advertised and presented at E3, all the focus was on what you COULDNT do with it rather than what you could do. Too much DRM, pricey, too much focus on multimedia. They really missed the point of a gaming console and gamers haven't forgotten. 

I was an Xbot last gen, absolutely hated Sony and made my point clear on various forums (and got banned for it). I was 99% certain I was going to buy XB1 before E3. After E3 I immediately recanted.

Sony is winning this gen because former Xbox owners are converting in droves, myself included. 

Lol what? The last 2 E3s have been games.

I find this funny because didn't last week Microsoft say that the X1s were flying off the shelf?


That was Gamestop. And they were right, Xbox One is the highest selling console in North America this week.

Unexpected.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

So much energy spent arguing about numbers that are probaly wrong.

PS: Was the PS4 adjusted down? It´s at 8,1mi for the last two weeks IIRC.

Given Japan and US NPD I just find it difficult to think WiiU is outselling XB1.

Told you, the kinectless One would not change anything.

A little more sell for this week, then it will be under 50k again.
