or...........not
Yeah its tomorrow plus GTA5 launches soon and they can't be sure they will lead for the month after black Friday so they need to get the PR in now. Funny they can't even brag about actually shipping 10 million only that they will soon.
One is sold to consumer the other is shipped.
Ain't no telling how many are sitting on shelfs.
what?

Its not as if nobody saw if coming. The real question is just how badly they were outsold by...

Seems like we won't know if they led by 10k or 100k. Don't think we'll be getting any NPD numbers anymore

Oh yeah, Sony's got October in the bad methinks. I think Microsoft has a very solid chance of nailing November, unless Black Friday REALLY swings Sony's way.

Had to Google "Channel Stuffing" or as I know it- Trade loading. To which I would say is untrue seeing as I cannot recall a larger number of friends and family members buying the Xbox One and that includes during the launch.

When you practically give something away people will buy it. Who would have guessed?
Edit: If they can't outsell PS4 in November they are done. They might as well pack up and go home.

By being $70 cheaper and then you have certain stores giving gift cards on top of that.

They didn't sell or ship 10m yet. PR says " Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles."
This "shortly" could be anything from one week to 3+ months.
???
Collecting dust? It's a bundle with a free game in a popular series and it's going to be $320 on Black Friday. Even the more expensive COD bundle will more than likely pick up in sales since that will also be $30 off ($420 I believe).

Also didn't the last estimates have X1 around 6.5-7 m sold through? Did they sell 2 million in the last couple months or are there just a shitload of systems on shelves?
Nelson pls.
holy misleading tweet batman
btw can someone tell me the coverage period for the NPD tomorrow? Does it include a few days of November as well?

Yeah, I smell pre-emptive damage control for the NPDs.

Isn't 750k for a November kind of low or am I getting confused with December?
I still have my doubts about the Bone 'winning' November. If they do, it will be by a small amount.

Xbox One is probably the most talked about non-TV deal I've heard about leading in to the Christmas season so I wouldn't be surprised if they sold 10M+ after its first year on the market.

Yeah its out tomorrow but even so that covers October sales. Could be they want to get some positive stuff out before then.

Agreed, but then some people act like there are 10 million units sitting on shelves. We can't say either way, but it's all too easy just to take the 'Microsoft gonna Microsoft' route.

dayum!
The biggest takeaway is that XB1 is killing it in November.
It will outsell PS4 by a healthy margin.

I really do wish that Microsoft would just give some estimated sales percentage increase or something that can be inherently positive for them without resorting to the embarrassing spins.
But that wouldn't read as 'winning'.

Not really MS is including their holiday shipment in their sales. Ps4 is at 13.5 million pre holiday sales. Sorry
Literally nothing can fix the hole they've created.
Maybe next decade.
Good for the Xbox though! I enjoy seeing all three doing well.
It is clear a certain check cleared for that. Major reason you can't take any major gaming sites serious anymore.
Pretty much. And leading into black friday it means even less.
They are making sure there's enough stock on shelves is all it really boils down to. I would expect all products to follow the exact same pattern around this time of year.

Too bad we have no way of getting information this month.
