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  

Too busy paying extra for Ubisoft games

¯_(ツ)_/¯

You Mean Watch Dogs ?, the Attach Rate, that Ubisoft, made isn't about User Avarage Spend money ?, they don't know how much Xbox One, sold, so they pick the Total number of their games sold in each plataform, and see who paid more for Micro-tranzactions, and DLC, per player.

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.

Because they are buying Ubisoft games instead?

EDIT: Damn, I wasn't fast enough, Roronaa_chan beat me!



130k is quite bad. Microsoft needs a price job asap.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

They can only cut so low.

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.

But aqua is doing her best to still get the numbers out there. Surely this is almost as bad as releasing the numbers herself. If she wanted to make sure she didn't get any backlash, wouldn't she just stay clear of anything NPD related. Being extremely vocal about it doesn't sound like somebody trying to stay under the radar.

Price cut isn't ALWAYS the option. Price cut sometimes isn't a option. Pick one of those.

Am I the only one who realizes that a Gaf ban had more effect on NPD's numbers disclosures, than their NDA's?  That's pretty funny.

I'm guessing it will go down to $299.99 in the coming months.



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

The Xbox One's price parity with the PS4 in the U.S is clearly not working for them and I think a $50 price reduction to $300 is in order but not this early in the year as the impact will be negligible given that is is the off peak sales season. Perhaps the second half of this year would have a better impact moving forward.

It would have to be lower. There is already a bundle at $300.

Not officially.
