Forums - Gaming - Xbox One is making a comeback homies!

Yeah its doing great but this is not a surprise. It did have a big price cut and comes with 2 free games plus many stores were giving it away with a $50 credit or a free game.

if it takes a price drop and holidays to make a comeback....

well you know ps4 will eventually price drop and holidays will eventually be over.

A comeback has to be judged at least in the span of 6 months i say

Homies... lol!

The X1 is doing much better than I would have expected and I'm glad to see it as a one console race (clear leader) results in less innovation and we all lose out!

Given that Microsoft have gone back on many statements that they made, such as the X1 will never be sold without Kinect and the radical price reduction of the console, it would be shocking for them not to have numbers like these!!

I am more surprised that Sony have had to do nothing to keep ahead...


Ignorance at it's finest...Nothing???? There 20 + studios, decades of being in the console business, building a brand, just released Share play, PS now, Morpheus is coming, 2015 is loaded with exclusives 2 in just a few months, with a big event this week with more announcements, made a platform that really attracts third parties...Doing nothing is an idiotic thing to say.

The hilarious thing is that the person doesn't realise that I am a Sony fan... and nothing was meant in the sense of no price-drop, no free games (in terms of multi-bundles) and no removal of features (being Kinect) to stay ahead!



I'd like to see them do well WW not just the UK and US.



It's certainly doing much better, but not quite near PS4 level. That's fine though, it went from being a disaster to being successful.

Who knows? Price is everything at the moment. What will happen when PS4 = $299?


this will take time, Sony can not afford to lose money

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

x1 is doing great.. Ms needs to keep doing a good job and not lose sight of the games.

 

BUt yes i agree :-p


Yes I feel the same and when Aaron Greenberg came out, i was like, C'mon. This guy needs to shut up. Phil Spencer has got the right idea, keep your head down, do as much as you can for the gamers. 

They need to continue with good exclusives, and keep a humble appearence, not allow Aaron to come out saying dumb shit or doing dumb shit. Don't know why but I do not like that guy.

To be honest, this is the only thing we agree on. Greenberg is such a loudmouth.



PS4 sales doubled in the UK on Black Friday as well. You left that part out.

XB1 isn't making a comeback. Microsofts current strategy isn't sustainable. It's a short-term holiday boost that is going to cost them any sort of profit this year.(on Xbox One)



a come back will mean it is selling over the competition and that's not happening it is not outselling ps4 by a large margin and the only reason why its selling a lot now is because of the holiday and the 200$ off plus 2-4 free games and 20-50$ gift cards when u by those bundles that will not continue after the holiday and it will drop hard afterward and also there has been no games mention for the next 5 months unlike the ps4 and then theres the playstation experience to let out a lot of goodies on games and special announcements. so in other words don't let a couple of months with deep price cuts call a comeback for the months to follow. (don't get ahead of yourself ) and also no one knows the numbers for blackfriday yet all we no sony won and if ms won by how many. 1,000 units, that is not a comeback and also x1 is only up by 185,000 for November so in order for ms to take nov in us they need to sell more than ps4 on black Friday or be under by 180,000 to take it by 5,000, and remember the same people who claim x1 won bf last year where wrong and by a tremendous margin. so they are not valid at all.
