What? I'm agreeing with you!

now you are projecting....

Im on my phone, so please dont give me anything else to moderate because VGChartz on mobile is bad enough without having to go into the toolset to find the 🔨.

Nice opening for both Disgaea 4 and Akiba's Trip in the US. Cool to see the Vita version of Akiba's Trip out sell it PS3 counterpart and Disgaea 4 had a better opening than Disgaea 3 (13k vs. 8k).

Everything else is to be expected so idk why you all are arguing.

I think what Microsoft needs to do is figure out what they want to do with the XBOX brand moving forward. For some reason, I feel that they have lost themselves in these past couple of months. When I thought of Microsoft in the past, I thought of the great interaction with XBOX Live or their Kinect motion sensing. When I think of Nintendo, I always think of their innovation along with family/fun orientated games.

Today, Nintendo still focuses on these ideals even though their console wasn't selling well. They stuck with their plan and didn't deviate from it. The main problem that I see with the XBOX brand is that you don't know where it is heading next. People don't want to buy your product if you seem to lack focus or confidence. They came out with the Kinect 2.0 but then shortly dropped it after a couple of months (Losing support of hardware...no confidence). They came out of the gate all over the place with all of the various things that the XB1 can do instead of what made them successful in the beginning (To me, this is lack of focus). Their failure, believe it or not, is simply trying to do too much. As I always say, keep it simple stupid. Gamers want games and new experiences, not another piece of hardware that can do web browsing or watch tv.

What happened to you man? You used to be cool. 

I agree, momentum does have a big part to play in Sony's sales; while I do think it has more to offer (me personally) than the Xbox One, the sheer slaughter it is accomplishing is indicative of more faith in the brand than exists for the Xbox One.

However, what both you and the, er, more rant-y gentlemen also quoted here failed to consider was the impact of the late 360 generation; it sowed seeds of its own that the whole DRM thing only intensified. But- and this is the important thing- the sales momentum the 360 achieved, and the fact that people who only plan to really focus on one console are less likely to 'switch' mid-gen, unless their current console breaks, allowed it to continue a strong, steady presence, winning in the U.S. and U.K. despite falling asleep on the exclusives front during the later half of the generation. The DRM thing killed the Xbox brand's momentum, outright, obliterated the pure brand loyalty of most consumers (except those who were actually pleased with the original policies, or who were REALLY loyal to the point of pure fanboy/Sony hater.)

So, once the DRM was reversed, those who didn't feel any pressing attachment to the Xbox brand took a closer look at it, rather than just jumping to the Xbox One for no other reason than they'd owned an Xbox 360. Which led to such things as; '....well, now that we're on the subject, WHY does Microsoft have all those ads?' 'Why did they just give up on developing new IPs for the last few years?' 'Why the heck do I have to pay to use the friggin Internet?' 'Wait, why is Sony getting all the indie devs right now?' 'An extra hundred bucks for the Kinect? But I don't WANT the Kinect.' 'AWRIGHT, TITANFALL IS... also on 360? Oh, okay.'

All these little details, these little nitpicks that, prior to the DRM fiasco, gamers just kind of shrugged and put up with, cause Halo. But after they'd already been turned away by one BIG annoyance, many found themselves less tolerant of the many, many little ones that had clustered underfoot during the 360 generation. Which is why over the past number of months, Microsoft knocked down those irritations one by one. Indie policies absurd and restrictive? New indie policies ahoy! Paying to use the Internet ridiculous? Bye bye restrictive paywalling! Don't like Kinect? New SKU time!

However, simply removing reasons NOT to buy the console isn't enough. For every one unit of something negative you had, (even if you remove it,) you need to add two units of something positive, so that not only do you draw the consumer away from 'I don't want your product at all,' but you also draw them over to 'I want your product soon! =D '

ioi trolling his own website, lol.

9.9 million and counting, right? What a joke. No wonder no one takes this site seriously

SMH. I would never say the estimates are perfect. But why are the chronic BITCHERS here?  Because they love to bitch, complain and whine about things that in the long run do not mean much for human existence and our own individual lives. chill pill?
