That is more pathetic than anything sony has done

Also,  if XBO is same as ps3 launches aligned then... That's bad. Really bad.

If xbox shipments are really that bad and the division doesn't get the green light for another price cut they are screwed.  

Like they need to win the holidays heavily in the US to even be within a sniff of sonys asz.  

If they get beaten well in the US then WW it will be more than 2:1 which will turn into 3/4:1 in the early months of next year especially with Japan likely to provide strong Ps4 numbers.  

The leaked black Friday deals makes me think that's not the case and we will in fact see a 50$ cut on all bundles.  

Otherwise Sony has walked away with the gen without even trying.

A bit off topic, but on Chartz, it was pretty weird seeing Kowen make the MS financials thread and then leave without saying much.

PS3 did pretty good. Only in comparison to PS2 was it doing poorly.

Launches aligned PS3 was well ahead of 360 for every year except Kinect I think.

Why does the leaked bundle make you think we'll get a price cut? That add specifically shows the Gears bundle as still being $349.

It's really bad because it had a 800k head start from the beginning. It's losing steam even with all the attempts to get sales

Not much reason for him to be on that site without it updating sales. Also last year he was also nowhere to be found until the holidays rolled around and he could talk about the X1 winning.

Guess no price drop confirmed. They've given up on competing with Sony in the US.
Lol, I remember when Sony was made fun of for combining PSP+PSV shipments. This is on a whole other level. Now we'll never know how much they've sold

Hey, new thread idea!

So Xbox One tanked in sales... maybe they now are selling the overshipment made since last holiday.
