Xbone can't have good news. People don't even grant that system the dirt under their fingernail...

People, it says more than double. Why are people just multiplying may and saying that's it? June will also have a week of poor sales leading up to the price drop.

Just food for thought.

Not to mention this exact situation happened in July 2007 where PS3 got a $100 price cut and sold 159k NPD while 360 was closer to 200k. But no, doom for X1 as usual.

And how did ps3 end in the US? Pretty far behind 360. The only reason PS3 didn't end as a total disaster was Europe.

Those are great news! 144k might not be the best number ever, but it's much better than nothing!

These numbers are pretty bad. Spinning it any other way is not looking at what April averaged before the price cut announcement.

April had around 29k/week with $499 SKU only.
June looks to be around 32k/week WITH both $399 SKU and a full month pre announcement delayed buyer bubble.

% change from May as a spin attempt is pretty shady but likely the only way they could spin it.

Poor sales in April were part of the reason that they went back on the 'never an xb1 without kinect' promise to begin with, and now it's already back to April numbers (with a 10% boost probably accounted for purely with buyers moved from May to June).

It's so thin it's see through. And saying oh ps3 did crappy in 07 isn't a comfort, ps3 lost NPD what, 30+ months straight? And lost the USA market by massive tens of millions? Yeah great success there. If European countries didn't love PS there wouldn't even be a ps4.
