Xbox brand is weakening. No wonder MS dropped the "Xbox" naming from its music and video apps.

Why even type that?

Front loaded gen and X1 is down yoy despite being 150 cheaper. It doesn't bode well for the console.

I'm back mutherfucker!!! :P
Sorry if i was online, but now i'm here. XD

What is happen?

EDIT: 1,600,000 XBOX... humm... i have predict 1,400,000 with XBO at 1,000,000 and XB360 at 400,000...
So, maybe 500,000 for XB360 and 1,100,000 for XBO?

That is some like:
XBO: 13,100,000
XB360: 87,400,000

(?)

1.6m Xboxes, so massively down from the previous quarter.

Well, the massive dropped is because the XB360, and seem legit, a 9 years old console...

XBO last quarter was at 1,200,000 shipped, now is probabily at 1,000,000 to 1,200,000.

Decent numbers, hopefully summer will see significant growth YOY, that is where the X1 dropped to terrible sales that triggered the $349 price drop. Q1 last year was solid.

Witcher 3+Batman+Elderscrolls online and for the moment Left4Dead. If the price drop didn't do much, hopefully those games will.


You know something I don't know? When was L4D announced?

Woops, meant Dead Island 2, was scheduled for summer but I just checked wiki and it now says late 2015.



Xbox revenue down 24% is an increase when it was down 20% last quarter. The XB1 will likely see yet another price cut that'll eat into this. It's unlikely Xbox will see profits this gen like they used to in the past.

The thing is though, you are so wrong and don't even know it. The XB1360 numbers are down mainly due to the fact that 360 is 9 years old. XB1 was practically even. Also naming their new browser spartan, adding Cortana o Win10, and bring XBOX live to Win 10 sure is distancing from xbox.

How are you arriving at that number?

With upcoming 1st party games coming out over the next few years, that is when xbox will have the highest revenue. Halo 5 this year could generate $300 million in revenue.



I'm not sure why the people say that is low numbers... what the hell did you expect when we already know that XBO is down YOY according to NPD and XB360 is a 9 years old?

Happy now? Take the name dropping bit lightly, but the Xbox brand is weakening, no doubt.
