No more VGChartz, no more NPD leaks and now no more MS shipments...

I can fell your pain, bro.

We still get NPD leaks...

realy?

I thought they vanished from Neogaf for the last 3 months or so. No more Pie.

MS even reported a dismal failure of mobile phones decreasing 40% in sales. I can only imagine the debacle that XBox consoles are when they are not willing to share the numbers.
No wonder, you make a underpowered overpriced console with so many restrictions that even Kim Jong Un starts shaking his head in disbelief, to expect anything else but an abismal failure would be optimistic.

They tried, they've been trying for 15 years, and the best they could achieve is being dead last or close to it. Time to give up the failure.
Maybe they can do what they did with Project Spark - cancel it, appologize and give everybody their money back. The least they could do. Just give everybody $350 back and gift a Roku for TVTVTVTV stuff.

Next quarter: "No more active account reports. From now on we report the number of Bing searches. #1 search term - Google"

Hopefully Phil Spencer will be able to find another job after he gets fired soon, he seems like a nice guy, it's not entirely his fault his product is a failure of epic proportions.

Although it's unlike that MS will ever make much of a dent to Steam, they are definitely trying to strongarm early adopters of Windows 10 and late users as well by locking anything that comes from them to windows 10 only which I feel is not really that great of a tactic since really they are locking out windows 7-8 users and generally giving a bit of a muddled message, yes they want to commit to PC gamers but they are honestly going about it in the wrong sense. They don't need to become top dog and it's very unlikely that they ever will in the PC market, the best they can do now is just sell their software to as many as possible, sell to mac, sell on Steam, GoG Origin etc because frankly the whole PC market is unlikely to abandon all the other clients and vendors to flock to MS's Windows 10 only store that only sells a few of their titles.

They shouldn't exactly go 3rd party but as they are currently their store is incredibly lackluster and will be for quite a long time with the slim picking of late ports to come over, meanwhile Steam has a ridiculous amount of titles on there (well aware of some duds, every platform has them) as well as their own which are still popular to this day, Blizzard has their own Battle.net client and while they only have a few titles they have largely remained faithful to the PC scene and of course they make their money via merch, WoW and their multiple shops in some games. All I can see MS offering is gears, a console based sequel to an RTS we never got originally, a 3rd and 2nd party late ports and a mixed hybrid MOBA along with FL which I don't see doing amazing either, those offers don't really stand up to what other clients are offering, the whole "oh don't you worry this is the start of them supporting PC", if it was they'd mention an absolute plethora of titles coming to the platform, make mention of exclusive studios to get better ground on the market they once left behind and they are very unlikely to do either.

Yeap...

Focusing in a metric shared between 4 plataforms that means nothing for anybody is a better solution lol

At least shipment numbers were Xbone + 360... now these Live Accounts are Xbone + 360 + PC + Phone... everything to hide how bad they are doing with Xbox brand.

I wouldnt like to see the Xbox division going away, just for the fact that even tho they always end dead last, at least they lit that fire under Sony's ass that makes them be better.

Ehhhhhh.....for some reason this doesn't bother me lol. It is what it is...as long as I get a Lost Odyssey 2 then they can do whatever they want! LOL!

So, basically, it's there way of saying "we cannot keep up with the PS4 and we cannot keep on trying to find new spins each month".

Well it's management 101 to boast about being successful when you are successful. It excites stockholders, and while Microsoft (parent) is doing extremely well; the lack of shipment numbers is a tell all sign that they aren't that impressive. If they were they would say so.
