Support NeoGAF

*Xbox Family

What if its bad enough that even the xbox family looks bad?

 

[LegendofLex]

OT: The freakin US PS store finally got updated

Curious: does anyone notice anything to do with that big sale Sony was pushing that might have had something to do with the delay?

 

[fluffydelusions]

MS must be having a hard time spinning those numbers.

XB1 was the best selling Microsoft console?

 

[Graphics Horse]

it would be marvelous to see wii u over xbone. Neogaf would be dead for ever.

They're different gens and it's not a competitor, so doesn't count.

 

[ZSaberLink]

How is nearly 82.5K great? That's <100K. That's really bad.

Well at least when a game releases, the sales go up? It's still higher than like all but 3 months of sales last year right? (Sep 2013 price drop ~= 90K, Nov ~= 220K, Dec ~= 480K)

*Xbox Family

MS* Family.

*Includes Zune and Surface sales.

 

[TomShoe]

I hope everyone's ready to F5.

 

[Yoda]

MS PR taking longer than usual? Guess the numbers are extra hard to spin this month.

Outside of their competitor being supply constrained, they didn't have any reasons to be abnormally high this month.

[TheRealTalker]

MS is looking at their thesaurus as we speak

 

[TheBioLover]

I guess the Xbox* was the best selling console this month.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Those Wii U numbers are equivalent to a boxer opening his eyes during a ten count?

Get your ass off the floor Wii U!

also Bravely Default numbers are awesome!!

 

[LSWilson]

POST IF YOU ARE OK LARRY

Hahah

 

[Kriken]

So the 82.5K number means the Wii U is slightly tracking above last year's YoY number

2013: 57K Jan 66K Feb
2014: 49K Jan 82.5K Feb

Spoiler

Wii U saved lol

 

[SwiftDeath]

MS is looking at their spinsaurus as we speak

Fixed that for you

 

[kmax]

Everyone's working overtime over at MS PR department trying to come up with the slickest spin that they can get away with.

It seems to be an uphill battle, by the looks of it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

my noodle.

 

[Yawnier]

What if its bad enough that even the xbox family looks bad?

They can just do this:

MS* Family.

*Includes Zune and Surface sales.

 

[Nirolak]

I'm here one sec.

 

[DaBoss]

"We managed to keep the Xbox One's stock higher than the PS4's stock in stores. It doesn't matter how many are sold to consumers. What matters is how many consumers are able to buy the consoles, and we've had much more success in that regard. The satisfaction of consumers is much more important than being able to barely keep stock in the stores."

Spoiler

I hope someone laughed at this attempt.

 

[Foshy]

Maybe Wii U outsold 3DS? :$

That would be terrible. But also very unlikely.

 

[Hoo-doo]

So the 82.5K number means the Wii U is slightly tracking above last year's YoY number

2013: 57K Jan 66K Feb
2014: 49K Jan 82.5K Feb

Spoiler

Wii U saved lol

That's where the 82K number was calculated from.

 

[Uno Venova]

It would be amazing if after all this MS mocking they came out on top.

 

[Kosma]

Larry is using the extra horsepower of the cloud to type this months poetry

 

[TheRealTalker]

I'm here one sec.

aw yeah new thread

 

[lightning2k3]

Outside of their competitor being supply constrained, they didn't have any reasons to be abnormally high this month.

But it could be that their numbers are abnormally low. I bet the titanfall bundle announced in Febuary resulted in a lot of returned consoles and cannibalized sales.

 

[A_Gorilla]

They can just do this:

Pretty sure Zune numbers are in the negative right now.

 

[Toki767]

Xbox One is the most widely available next gen console.

 

[EGOMON]

Was wondering the same thing then again they have done a bigger sales before without a problem they did say the faced a technical problem the prevent them form putting all the contents in time

 

[SwiftDeath]

would be hilarious if so

 

[famousmortimer]

It would be amazing if after all this MS mocking they came out on top.

It be amazing. Which is why it's not really a worry anyone has.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Everyone, take a shot whenever Titanfall gets mentioned.

 

[BLKTMNT]

 

[TheRealTalker]

it is time

 

[Nekofrog]

What kind of world do people live in who call 80k for the Wii U "great numbers"?

 

[Yoda]

But it could be that their numbers are abnormally low. I bet the titanfall bundle announced in Febuary resulted in a lot of returned consoles and cannibalized sales.

Nah, I think most people who wanted Titanfall were part of the launch crowd to being with. I still think it will bump March though, but I don't think it will significantly contract their potential sales for Feb.

 

[Ape]

would be hilarious if so

No chance.

 

[B.O.O.M]

It would be amazing if after all this MS mocking they came out on top.

Yep I approve this message

 

[vinnygambini]

I don't have enough liquor for that. You providing?

 

[EGOMON]

ROFL

 

[A_Gorilla]

If they had they would already be shouting it from every rooftop.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Does Albert ever join in on this fun?

 

[idlewild_]

Everyone, take a shot whenever Titanfall gets mentioned.

No thanks, I'd like to live to see another day.

 

[Squalor]

What kind of world do people live in who call 80k for the Wii U "great numbers"?

A world of desperate Nintendo fans.

 

[Tripon]

82k Wii U?

Better than expectations. Still terrible.

Nintendo dug a huge hole for its console. Every inch they do to get it out of it still counts until Totoro makes them take a dirt nap again.

 

[SeanR1221]

Maybe Larry is too busy playing Titanfall duh guys

 

[Graphics Horse]

That would be terrible. But also very unlikely.

It might have got a bravely debump, but they don't seem to want to talk about it.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

What kind of world do people live in who call 80k for the Wii U "great numbers"?

Lots of promos were used to inflate demand.

 

[Ape]

Everyone, take a shot whenever Titanfall gets mentioned.

I only have one liver and two kidneys, no thanks.

 

[Oneothesedays]

I'm curious why it matters so much to PS4 owners to see weaker X1 sales numbers? Do you need extra justification for your console purchase or something?

You should understand that competition, mainly healthy competition, benefits all of us. We don't benefit from Sony or MSFT becoming the sole mainstream console provider.
