That is a shit ton of money... and on a related note I'm yet to see that being used to make X1 dominate PS4.

Microsoft probably cares more about making money than winning forum warz.

And that is something we have been saying for like 3 years or more, thanks that more people are getting onboard.

So overall xbox division is doing well and doing more than enough to justify staying in the market. Good job Microsoft. I just wish you didn't force Kinect at the begining because you would be doing way better if the console started out at 400 dollars.

The numbers are also in revenue, and considering the XB1 was cheaper this quarter, it isn't surprising.

But doesn't it say revenue was down due to lower pricing and sales?

I don't think sales where mentioned (they've been very coy lately).



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).

I doubt it. They were UP year on year, not down. It's definitely pricing unless someone fucked up.

Well the price was cut $50, so thats around 17% off the price of the console. Its not surprising to see revenue down, even if the console was up YOY (which we don't know either).

I'd understand it, though NPD says it was up (then again, NPD applies only to Murica. It might be up but down everywhere else)...

Oh I get it, that irrelevant remark is for the invisible people you argued with here 3+ years ago. Thanks.

It will be a mix of pricing and reduction in sales from Xbox 360. The division doesn't break the numbers down (and never have) so it is difficult to be certain.

Bloody it makes sense now! I missed the fact they are no longer making the thing!
