Indeed, it's their job to paint a positive picture.

They're not going to put "well... they beat us again... maybe next month?"

I might be jumping to conclusions, but MS does not mention YOY growth for the XBone, so I'm guessing March 2014 > March 2015. Anyone have last March's numbers for Xbone?

yup. though id be surprised if it was lower than 199k honestly.

Yeap and it is already 1.6m ahead without March.

the last two months MS used " a record feb" and "a record jan" for Xb1. this month they didnt, its pretty clear its less than last years march. which is really bad considering its a full 150$ cheaper. 

Talking about Halo 5 already :/

Yeah, even for me 199,000 is too low considering that have sold 276,000 in February... any way, more than 199,000 can be even 400,000.

Well it wasn't better YOY so it means it did worse than last March right? It did have Titanfall. Does anyone remember what XBO did last March?
