What do you expect? It's PR. Every company focuses on the positives.

Let's not say the numbers or that we were second, let's comemorate the numbers that rose mainly because we screwed last year may...

MS have been spinning NPD for like 18 months;

Who has ever said their NPD numbers? And why say "we're second" if Sony already said they're first?

Lol you're reaching. 81% growth is something to write about. Doesnt matter if its because Kinectless XB1 was coming. Its growth.

For be correct, when the XB360 was the dominator of the US, they always said the numbers.

Looking the NPD of December 2012, or January 2013, or February 2013 ecc... even in November 2014 when the XBO massacred PS4 Phil said "1.24 million XBO sold in the US"

 

That's say, i don't see problem if MS don't say the numbers, because not even Ninty or Sony say the numbers, unrless are super good (like Nintendo in February with 3DS at 395k).

Ya if sales are down that low than something is really needed to boost sales in the summer, perhaps releasing the smaller "New" model could give a decent 1-2 boost but that's not really a long term solution.


Well game wise they've pretty much exhausted all their IP on the 3DS, not sure what they could release now that would boost sales in that sense. Metroid is the only main Nintendo IP not really accounted for on the 3DS and that's always been a franchise more on the niche side. 


Hyrule Warriors: All-Stars, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer should each sell pretty well but from a system selling perspective none will probably do a whole lot considering they are all spinoffs of games that have already released on 3DS.

Perhaps a new IP with a huge marketing push like Splatoon could help move systems, perhaps Yokai Watch will be as huge in the west as it is in Japan (I doubt it), maybe an official price cut in late summer/early fall? 2DS-$99.99, New 3DS XL'$149.99.

Who knows, maybe sales are better than we think, after all that number we currently have is the minimum it can be for May.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I..don't see the spin here. They give a percentage of growth every time there is growth.

Lol so you expect them to release some depressing PR statement?

That's just bitter. Its not enough that PS4 won, you want MS to belittle themselves too.
