We will see when Nov NPD figures will be available.

To add to Kahn's post, I really would like some DECENT discussion here.

Nobody can deny this is an interesting turn of events for XB1 on Amazon.

How much do you think MS shipped??

A crap load, MS are good at shipping lots of XB1's lol

I added a poll!!

Amazon doesn't carry much Wii U hardware, and still only carry the old bundles and overpriced, or they come from outside sellers listed. They also don't carry eShop gift cards. I think this ties back to a bit of a run-in they had with Nintendo over the OG3DS returns program.

So not much of a barometric measure, especially not when I think everyone already knows they can get the unit for 200-250$ with refurbs or BestBuy/NewEgg/Target/Walmart deals.

Predict XB1 sales week ending 8th!

2nd - AC Unity, AC Unity Kinect, Sunset Overdrive White (again) consoles all released
3rd - COD, COD bundle released

6/7 days of mega sales.

One thing I am curious of, are they pulling, effectively, a Sony on PS3? As in, I wonder how heavy the losses are they are sucking up on per-unit sales and lost software throughput to build up the install base and rebuild their image. I know the PS4, with its better hardware, is razor edge model on sales for hardware even at its current price point, I wonder how (if) negative the X1s are going to be for Microsoft.

I doubt its to the level of PS3 (>200$ lost per console) but its probably high.

They said they made a profit at $499 with Kinect. I've heard Kinect costs $70? So have to assume the $399 was making a slight loss, but at $349 it's break even bigger. ($70~)

Then factor in the free game, they're losing about $30 there.

So $100~ in total would be my guess.

$100 x 3m = $300m loss (for US shipements anyway) this holiday.

Considering the Xbox division made $400m last Q, I don't think MS need to worry.

That was around my guess on the per console sale loss, and they have the pockets to survive it.

They also sell enough Xbox Live and software to survive it.
