XB1 software sales aren't wow wow. Surprised COD is still more popular on the XB1 though.

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).

Apparently the 50$ Price Drop did nothing for the Xbox One in the US.

The console is out of the Top 100 of Amazon right now, something that ive never seen before from a Microsoft console.

True but didn't some one post that comment from the gaf guy who mentioned to not put that much belief in Amazon this month due to it selling better at retail outlets. I don't know who exactly but someone was mentioning that X1 was selling better elsewhere.

That could be too!

I dont know about the retail stores because their web pages dont have a ranked best selling page, and because im not from the US i cant really tell how are things on their stores.

I heard there were great X1 deals on the gamestop stores right now.

Looks like GameInformer has received Microsoft's statement:
Even so, Microsoft is also hailing the success of The Division as one reason why global hours spent on the Xbox One are up 89 percent over last year. In addition, Microsoft is calling out Killer Instinct: Season 3 for its high engagement numbers; more than 6 million unique players make this March the best month ever for that franchise.

“In March, global hours spent gaming on Xbox One increased 89 percent compared to last year. Xbox Live engagement was driven by the greatest games lineup, including new titles released in March like ‘Killer Instinct: Season 3’ and ‘Tom Clancy’s The Division.’ ‘Killer Instinct: Season 3’ has seen record engagement across Xbox One and Windows 10 since it launched on March 29, making March the best month ever for the franchise with more than 6 million unique players.Last week, on April 5, we launched ‘Quantum Break’ to critical acclaim and it became the best-selling Xbox game around the world, and is now the biggest-selling new Microsoft Studios published IP this generation. We can’t thank our fans enough for their continued support and we’re looking forward to bringing more unprecedented experiences on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Xbox Live later this year.”
