Alot of downplaying in this thread I see.

And I'm shocked -____-

OT: Congrats MS, looks One is heavily undertracked here. 


It's not undertracked by much.

1) they're not at 10 millions yet, and they won't be probably until end of december.

2) 1/1.5 millions on shelves near end of december is plausible, it would mean 2 millions/2.5 sold for november+december, it would fit with Vgchartz numbers (who is mostly accurate with Xbox numbers, compared to sony and nintendo...)

3) Vgchartz is two weeks behind.

 

So, what does this article mean ? Well, nothing at all, except that sony win october NPD by a large margin.



My daughter will be four years old by late February. By then, she'll be almost five, more so than she is now. Maybe we should just just claim that her fourth birthday is her fifth birthday since she's that close. So this is what they mean when they say children grow up so fast. And, yes, this is on topic if you haven't figured.



"Soon they will sell in to retail 10 million consoles...

Please be excited and wait."

Yeah it is kinda pathetic how they are annoucing shipped numbers that likely includes holiday figures this early. I guess you got to get that semi-positive PR out there however you can.

Gotta drop that 10 Mill spin before Sony drop that 20 Mill shipped at PS Event!

From Gaf :


- Hey Major Nelson, I saw your tweet about selling 10m xboxes in the US. That's amazing, well done!
- well..actually that 10m is world wide, not just the U.S.
- oh. Well still, selling 10m is a great achievement. That's a lot of happy consumers
- well..we haven't actually sold them all to consumers yet. We've shipped them into stores ready to sell to people.
- oh. Ok I'm sure those shops will sell them soon. Still, shipping 10m out to stores takes some doing, eh?
- well..we haven't actually shipped 10m yet. We will soon though
- oh ffs.

 

 

 




Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Of course its possible for the X1 to sell millions in a short time, people forget China!

Come on, you guys have little faith.



Well, It's holiday time, so for Microsoft is spin time..... nothing new.

If Xbox One is reaching 10m, probably they surpassed 9'5m shipped until now. Considering is already November, around 2-1'5m on shelves is probable (not like in September I think), so probably Xbox One is 7'5-8m right now. 7-7'5 m probably 2 weeks ago. VGC shows 6'3m...., so it seems XBO could be around 750k or 1m undertracked here, and I think with PS4 is even worse.

Considering they're saying XBO is the best 8th gen selling console in the last 2 weeks in USA, they basically have admited PS4 sold more than XBO in October too. Microsoft did a good job with the bundles and discounts, but I think Sony is going hard for BF with GTA V bundles. November NPD will be very interesting....

are you for real?  first tweet length, and now saying it could be a typo?  you dont need to defend a PR rep.  I can see defending microsoft and your console of choice, but trying to stand up for a guy who gets paid to tweet what he said.  Just face it, he did what he is paid to do.  He spun news to look favorable for microsoft.  this isnt rocket science.  He made a tweet that walks to the line in truth, and easily gets a misleading narrative out there. 

Trust me, I'm more critical of Microsoft than the vast majority of Xbox Owners. Just earlier today I was criticizing them for their current European strategy as well as the Halo:MCC matchmaking issues. I just don't see anything here to criticize. It's one tweet from one Microsoft employee. The official article from Microsoft themselves that he linked was sound, it specified that the number was shipped, not sold. It just seems to me like some of you guys are looking for anything you can to criticize. 


then you are being delibrately blind if you cant see it,  and simple way to check is to go read other social media, and you see people shouting from the rooftops that its sold close to 10 million, while others are trying to get clarrification, while others yet are smart enough to go read.  the thing they know is, most people on twitter are fucking retarded(pardon my french) and they wont click on things, or spend any time actually researching it aswell.  you can run into the same morons on facebook lol   That is why he made that tweet, and worded it the way it was.  its a tweet that when read without further research, one would believe hes talking about 10million units sold.  that is why its misleading.   

Sure, everyone here is going to instantly know what it all means(well maybe not everyone.. lol)  but when it comes to the casuals, they will just hear triple and 10 million and run with it.
