When they tipped from distant second to ever-so-slightly less distant second?

Anyway, if Xbox is doing great, it's time to share that worldwide sell-through figure

22 millions early september, 14 in USA.

Geez, why did it take so long for the curtain to finally be lifted?

That is the computer in question. It is absolutly horrid to use. It can barly run a web browser without issues, let alone 3D modeling programms for machining, and building airplane parts. I don't think the company could have made a more asinine decision than these, but I guess that is what they get for having a contract with Dell as your soul supplier of PC equipment.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Yeah that IS pretty bad. CPU power is way better than X1, but depending on integrated video, with only 4GB of ram and a 500GB (very low areal density = slowwww) is terrible.

They're savable at least. Replace HDD with 960GB SSD (about ~$100 each) and Nvidia 950 (about ~$140 each), combined with a 16GB DDR4 kit (about $65 each), and you'd go from horrible to blazing fast.

Someone needs to be fired for choosing that config, 4GB is inexcusable in 2016.

My company also works with dell, but I haven't had problems gettign a adequate machine, not sure about people who use it for design.

They really took a step forward this year. Really makes you wonder what an Xbone at launch with these guys at the helm would have been like.

Full unified platform with PC?

And yet my XBONE collects dust.  You can call the best games this gen, but they all seem pretty meh to me.  Hell, i've been a huge fan of Halo since forever and even I think Halo 5 turned out to be a box of rocks.

Where did you find this? The US numbers look accurate, though those worldwide sales are lower than I expected if true.

Those were before the brief XBOS boom and before G4. Assuming they were at least as fast, being slightly higher now doesn't seem that bad.

If i remember, it was for the Windows 10 event, or something like that, don't remember the official name : D

That's why i said Vgchartz numbers seems not too bad for Xboxone.

But it's probably the last numbers we will get from MS, Spencer said after all they will not talk about sales anymore, but "active users", "hours played" , etc.

They actually changed numbers for revenue, namely since investors have been telling Satya to discard hardware. Now that their divisions no longer report any actual numbers and instead report revenue only, those same voices stopped complaining, since the numbers ruin the good impression the revenue and purchases give and distort investor perception. 

Or, in speakeasy, because investors might compare them to Sony and they know they will not catch up soon...

I didn't know this either! If Playground does make a Twisted Metal game, then I will write them a letter and send them Sheep Dip solely for that!
