MS need to do something... getting 2 : 1 'ed in your strongest territory isnt good for your public image.

Not sure what it is that needs doing, but something needs to be done.

price drop to $300 and $300 bundles for all major 1st party releases and partnerships. If Microsoft think they'll get even close to the PS4 sales with all the $350 and $400 bundles (lol, $400!!!) they are delusional.

Maybe he got tired of being told how he undertracks PlayStation all the time!

Maybe,  I knew it would be up because of October price cut and Xbox One not having a price advantage but 100% up yoy on a $50 price cut should of seemed unlikely. 

 

On a side note this is the first time we can properly gauge the effectiveness of the pricecut without other factors coming into play. Seems a ok start and if the following months follow suit to form a trend, Sony will be happy.

Resident Evil Origins Collection - ~38k (73% PS4)
Life is Strange - ~27k (74.8% PS4)

Look at those results. Why aren't Xbox gamers buying these games I mean at most the PS4 should be getting 60% because of userbase advantage in the US. Something is missing from the equation for PS4 to get these windfall shares. I know Capcom is ultra unlikely to have another Xbox One exclusive with breaks like that.

I Think that Any japanese company is unlikely to make a Xbox One exclusive, after what Tomb Raider, did.

I wouldn't call that "doing okay".

Agreed.  it would be financially irresponsible.   Especially when you have compelling data like this.

And more to all the people: Stop asking Aquamarine and other "insiders" for NPD numbers. 

 

Smartest post I've read in a while. 

 

Only subscribers have access to NPD data and have to sign an NDA. They're not going to be posted on VGChartz.

Too busy paying extra for Ubisoft games
