> No they weren't of course. Vgchartz fake sales numbers were as usual way low and have been updating them to something more believable.
Yep. The stupid fake sales site just had PS4 numbers that were ridiculously low just a couple weeks ago.
> microsoft should release a 300$ xb1 version including the kinect
There is no way in hell taking in 200 dollars less revenue per Xbox One is happening. With major Microsoft shareholders calling for Microsoft to dump the Xbox, the new CEO is not going to allow the Xbox division to rack up massive losses on the Xbox hardware.
The 200 dollar more expensive PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 every year in worldwide sales and the 360 ended up in last place last gen. Ass...
> Microsoft needs to offer a xbone w/o the kinect for 299.99
Offering an Xbox One with no Kinect would mean no one(or very few) would buy the version with it.
If Microsoft tried to sell a Kinect-less version it would mean that all third party developers would stop supporting it or at least put no more than a token effort into supporting it.
Dumping Kinect for Microsoft means:
# A whole bunch of people's careers are ove...
> Every day there would be someone would post "it can't possibly get worse for Microsoft" and the next day it would get worse.
They completely ignored the massive hate the Kinect Xbox One news as it came out from Xbox fans. That should have been a massive red flag for Microsoft that they needed to go back to the drawing board.
Microsoft saw the massive success of the Wii and thought they would be able to do the same with the Xbox One. They th...
"We should be motivating Microsoft to give their gamers the best experience possible."
The irony is that polygon.com is a Microsoft funded site that is doing damage control for Microsoft for doing exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting.
Never been a Nintendo gamer, but I constantly heard non-gaming and gaming people talking about the Wii years ago when it launched and for the first couple of years. I haven't heard a single person expect for online posts talk about the Wii U.
I stumbled upon the Wii U section while game shopping a couple weeks ago. Didn't even know the store had one. It was one tiny section way in the back with the a few random games messily piled on the shelf. Everything about the Wi...
Yeah, quite a letdown graphically. It looks like they pretty much just added some extra graphical effects to the last gen console versions for the PS4.
Too bad. Would have been nice to see what the game would have looked like if it wasn't targeting the lowest common denominator and could have used a real PS4 graphics engine.
Of course the big WTF is the Xbox One only being able to run at 720p. It is looking more and more like the Xbox One is closer in pow...
"So how does a company with the marketing power of a Microsoft standing behind a successful brand with a huge following of dedicated loyalists be falling so far behind the competition"
?
The first Xbox was a complete failure that just avoided coming in last place due to Nintendo abandoning the GameCube early.
The second Xbox came in last place despite being rushed out the door a year early, being 200 dollars cheaper than the PS3, an...
"Sony has plenty of good exclusives of its own, but none are system-movers like those slated to appear on the Xbox One."
Boggle.
Sony is 'moving' twice as many PS4s as the Xbox One in the US while being completely sold out in almost every store in the country. And Sony is 'moving' four times as many PS4s in Europe.
The article is a mix of whining about the Xbox One bombing with gamers and delusional fantasyland mater...
"Hardware tiled resources is going to hugely boost the graphics of the xb1."
This is the delusional technobabble that led so man Xbox fanboys desperately wanted to believe with the PS3 and 360. And after the seven years the PS3 absolutely crushed the 360 in graphics.
The Xbox One graphics hardware is so weak and poorly designed games like Forza had to have massive downgrades just to get it to run 1080p. The PC port of Titanfall is running an outdate...
"System Seller"
A must have game that can only be played on a system.
Titanfall on the Xbox One is a downgraded port of a PC game that no one needs an Xbox One to play. It has gameplay that has been called CoD with Mechs and bots with horrendous AI. Titanfall isn't a 'system seller' anywhere but in fantasyland.
And of course the most important problem for Microsoft this gen: no RRoD to help massively inflate the Xbox installed base numbers.
LOL.
The Xbot mod cl1983 is having a fanboy meltdown.
So the Xbox One is selling better than the console that came in last place last gen?
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Microsoft shareholders are calling for the company to dump failed products like Xbox and Bing.
Only a couple months after launch and the Xbox One is sitting unsold on store shelves everywhere:

"I'll get it on PC when it's on sale at some point though."
This is what is just mind boggling about Microsoft. This is a game that is getting trashed in both gameplay and graphics. And this clown from the Xbox team is trying to brag about the game?
If anything you would think they would be doing their best to try to keep Titanfall out of the gaming news. Because so far all this desperate attempts at hyping the game have made it clear to gam...
Yep.
This game is running on a modified version of the outdated Source engine. Running at 1080p 60fps wouldn't even tax the PS4 graphics hardware anymore than current gaming PCs at the same resolution and framerate.
Microsoft is suffering enough humiliation already with the downgraded Xbox One graphics and last gen resolution. Hard to imagine how bad it would be if the PS4 version was being shown at the same time.
The irony of Titanfall i...
"there is enough pressure on the powers-that-be by PS players to bring it over to Sony."
LOL
Outside of a few Sony fans who think it would be hilarious to have a game Microsoft has putting so much wasted effort into hyping go multiplat, no one is begging for this Call of Doody with Mechs game running an outdated graphics engine.
"I'd get it on PC regardless"
And that right there is it.
It is hard to image that Microsoft would actually dump the Kinect junk. They have spent the last three years doing nothing but trying to hype the POS.
Microsoft can't just come out with a version without Kinect because no one would buy the more expensive version. Kinect is the Justin Bieber of the gaming world - never seen anything be hated as much. Microsoft would have to completely dump Kinect.
And then they would be put in the situation where they have...
And it is important to remember that both Nintendo and Sony report actual sales numbers to customers. While Microsoft reports sales to retailers as 'sales'.
So all the giant stacks of Xbox Ones sitting on store shelves all over the world are counted by Microsoft as sales.
With the abysmal January sales in the US for Microsoft, getting crushed in Europe about 4-1, and nothing in Japan. The actual real sales of the Xbox One are probably in the 3 million...
