MS PR! http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/xbox-one-march-npd Well, Kudos for MS for announcing sales even when they didn't win. If only Ninty and Sony would follow suit...

Well at least for Amazon, the demand has not waned much, PS4 is always in the top 5, only jostling around with three PSN cards and an occasional 75% off PC title. The TF XB1 title still at $450 is at lingering at #24.
I think basically we've established $449+ free game isn't going to be enough for Xbox One. They'll need more.
At least to beat the competition in NPD, which lets face it, seems to be the real goals of all sides.
With two caveats: $449 drop may not have had as big an effect as a official price drop, as Gamestop for one example didn't participate, two, perhaps PS4 sales were higher than normal coming out of supply constraint.
But OTOH, I think any sales effect is frontloaded, so I could only expect sales of $449 XB1 have declined considerably since the promotion began.

Except Sony. They didn't so a thing other than put stock on the shelves.
I dunno, I guess you could argue corporations are above all this, but are they really?
Who "wins" seems to color the discussion to a huge degree, even if the "loser" sells 80, 90%, or more, as much. Take this month...
MS certainly has LOVED to brag about their NPD wins in the past. They are human like anybody else.
That's one reason I think Xbox is big in MS (I've heard it called the most exciting division etc). At the end of the day they are "dudes", and Xbox is a lot more fun, and invites a lot more fanboy participation, than "Office" software. As Bill Gates said, it's uniquely consumer focused, and you dont get hundreds lining up for Bill Gates to sign their first Xbox sold for any other MS product.

Xbone sales actually decreased on a weekly basis compared to Feb's 4 week reporting period 
Still surprised not to see any worldwide sales numbers for Titanfall.
But it does include PC sales. We'd need numbers from either EA or Respawn to figure out the xb1 sales. But it didn't drive hardware sales at all. All the millions spent on advertising, exclusivity, giving it away free, and price cuts didn't move the needle. MS must be thinking of something drastic for E3.

whilst it looks like the ps4 is 3:1 advantage over the xbone which is decent. Its still looks like theyre only producing 1 million consoles a month = 12 million a year.
Why? Is there something in it thats hard to get, DDR5 perhaps?
Like I said before the wii/ps3/360 all were selling > 12 million a year so they must of known 1 million a month is bugger all, esp since the wii U was selling near nothing.

perhaps Sony's larger financial situation is to blame? Anyone know what the memory cost are for PS4? What sort of long term commitment would Sony have to make to get guarantees for the components for PS4 beyond 1M units/month? and with that in mind is it worth to take that gamble knowing that at anytime demand could snap back to lower levels and they are stuck with all this supply.
what is nov/dec for? millions are shifted just in the US, let alone the worldconsoles have been selling about 40+ million a year for years
the wii U is what? 2-4 million 40-3 = 37million to go around.
In what alternative universe did sony think they were gonna sell 10 million or less in a year?
Like I said somethings weird about sony only making a million consoles a month

I'm thinking more like 2-1 currently. XO sold 311k in March NPD and the rate is estimated at 2/3 that for rest of the world. So maybe ~500k WW. Whereas Sony basically just announced 1m in March.
It may trend closer to 3-1 though the next couple months though, MS gave a heavy TF/$50 off push that should dissipate. Then we will see what happens at E3.
The ship numbers will probably be 3 or 4-1 for Jan-March though. Since XO will ship at most 1.1, and PS4 should ship at least 3m going by the 7m announce and 4.2m at Dec 31. So I'm sure we'll get plenty of breathless media articles about how PS4 is crushing Xbox 3-1 then.
As for 1m/month...well they're fairly in stock now and Japan demand is dying off quickly. I'm not sure they need more currently. But they will need either to ramp up or stockpile for the holidays though, not sure how that works.

It was probably ~2:1 in March, but it's ~3:1 in 2014. MS shipped 1.1M (so probably ~900k sold) and Sony sold 2.8M.
Very little additional numbers yet
But aha, creamsugar has appeared, and so far he said
So TF vs ISS. But he included bundle...
On 311k Xboxen sold though, 200-250k for bundle at most?
More creamsugar
2 Dark Souls 2 apparently, 5=GZ obviously. Poor GZ sales, ouch at software sales really.
Haha and wow, just discovered this, which I shall use often hopefully
So that's Southpark.
By extension that puts TF at close to a million, since ISS would have to be >440k, and TF>ISS by 2:1 (including bundles)
So that's ISS.
And the "Yes" was in reply to if TF was over 1 million. So >1m for TF, dunno if that's including bundles but I assume no.
Good summation to date
Another creamsugar
Wowwwwww
Last year=68k.

This guy is probably right, he leaks famitsu numbers early, hardware data dump!

So:
