I think its just over 8 milion.
Keep in mind the PSP sold over 80 million.
This makes me worried that The Division will suffer from the same issue. Looks great on debut, but heavilly downgraded on consoles.
In the US I can see MS closing the gap but catching up? Not sure. Worldwide though? ... No
I can already pick up an Xbone with Kinect and TitanFall for £349 or €399 and there still isn't a thirst or demand for the console.
Losing the gimmick gives it less value for £349 in Europe
It is certainly a closer race in the US now. Sony will still dominate Europe and Japan.
However, the TitanFall bundle which lowered the price of the Xbone, and gave the game away didn't make it outsell the PS4 in April. Will this price drop mean a sustained lead month on month?
Also, What game is out next on the Xbone, in terms of exclusive? I see the TLOU selling well, and multiplats doing better (at least in the beginning) on PS4. The real "con...
Given the developer pedigree, I think we are in for something special with this game.
How many years I have hoped to see this game.
Now I just tell my self it won't be there. This way I can be pleasantly surprised.
Come on Sony, you said it's still being made. Please give us a glimpse.
Same price for weaker hardware.
MS did it because no one was buying it. Cudos to them for changing it.
But they did it for money and NOT to give us choice. They will sell it this way.. For the fans, for the people etc. Marketing 101.
MS is not just marketing the console to gamers. They want to make this the "all in one" device. This obviously is failing, hence the reversals, and the new face of the XBONE. A gamers device now, done for gamers right?
The many faces ...
They've listened to their shareholders and declining sales.

The Party has just begun!

Wow.. The way MS is talking is like they did this for us... They did this for the same reason the DRM and always online was removed... It wasn't selling. But they'll say that it was done for us, to give us choice, and that they're listening.
The way MS was talking I thought Kinect was the 2nd coming of Jesus.
#NotBetterWithKinectAgreesMS
They've listened... Not for us gamers though, but $$$ and total sales/orders. This is being done because the console isn't selling well.
A complete back track on everything now. How can they save face and go up on stage?
THE ULTIMATE 180. Plus a price reduction.
Bravo for competition.
The means to use them on your TV is at no price. So on your Xbox it should be the same. You shouldn't need Gold to use these, nor should things like an internet browser be behind a paywall. You bought the device already.
Games behind a pay wall have existed since the 360 gen started on consoles... to play online you need a subscription. This is now true for PS+, but Apps that you pay for already have always been free to use. Why lock this away, when you already pay for it? That's the discussion here.
And what games behind a pay wall? The PS+ games? Sony gives 5-6 games a month across three devices for PS+, Quality games too... Is this seriously a complaint?
The issue...
Hmmm... Whats this I see in the link below? confirmed by Ubi? In two weeks we will know for sure. Then We'll know who lied, who made a mistake or if it was a clarification.

Maybe all the claims on Sony lying, without questioning whether it COULD have been a mistake, should have a read at this article. We will know in two weeks.

Edit @ above.. .Sorry Didn't see you posted this link already :)
Putting apps that you already have a subscription to behind a paywall was wrong in the first place.
@AussieBadger
Wow... Where did I say that they didn't lie? I'm questioning why people are jumping to the conclusion that is was a lie and not a mistake first and foremost.
The game is being released in two weeks, and will be subject to scrutiny and analysis... Logic dictates that it was a mistake. Why would you lie, if the truth will be out there is 2 weeks? I guess hate and fanboyism trumps logic.
Another thing, any way you look at ...
So what about people who still have the Kinect connected? Will their games not perform as well, will they get a lesser experience?
This isn't a positive unless it works for all.
