MS PR was weak but they deserve a break after the holidays and how magnificent it was.
My poor, poor predictions...
How low we talking here?
My poor, poor predictions...Oh yeah.
I wouldn't base the year as a whole on January sales.
Mmmh...going with 120,000 to 130,000. Maybe he's exaggerating a bit though. Let's see what happens
Hope is at least better than January 2014, if not... damn.

Well would provide a significant boost throughout the year?
Quantum break? Maybe
Gears 4?yeah when it launches around Xmas.
I expect Xbox one sales to fall behind 360 sales this year.

We are due for our first "shrink" for both consoles in terms of chassis and likely electronics right? I can't imagine MS is going to be more price competitive with the BOM cost of the existing console.

Do they have any big multiplats that they sprung a co-marketing deal on in the first half of the year?

Siege in the top 10 again? NICE
The Division
1 BILLION HOURS ON XBOX MAU
Yeah, at or around E3 is my guess. Sony probably drops to that around the holidays.

The Division in March, Dark Souls III in April, Homefront in May (maybe Mirrors Edge/Doom too, I'm not entirely sure tbh)
They also have a marketing deal for The Division.
They doing a bundle?

Division should do work for sure. DS isn't going to do squat. Homefront is up in the air.
Haha, the masterful spin of Microsoft PR strikes again! XD Also, reading through this thread, the gap between the two consoles could have been much bigger than I thought. Was expecting 50K at most.
I think Dark Souls 3 switched over to Sony. Though I don't think either are pushing it too hard, so it could just be Namco doing the marketing.
Yeah, a $399... don't expect big sales from it...
Yep , 1TB 399 $

MS PR entertains again. What a load of none sense. Dunno why they bother putting anything out when that's all you got.
Man, that's not the kind of game to go 400 bucks on. Still, it'll probably be a fairly limited run.
They grabbed co-marketing on DaS3? I'm pretty surprised to hear that, especially since there's no chance in hell of sales not being comically lopsided in favor of the PS4 SKU.
They should introduce a Slim model at E3, would be nice.

i don't think MS has Dark Souls III co marketing
Yeah there's a lot of empty space in the current Xbox One. A slim model could be really vastly different than what we have now. That could be really cool.
Shu responded lol... I feel like this cant be a coincidence LOL
"How dare they set up a plan for a game I'm interested in to have a much better shot at becoming a franchise I'll love! They've betrayed me!"
So dumb. Unbelievable lol.
Hm.. there are plenty adverts to DS3 in Tokyo (even in places like the Shibuya Crossing) but I don't recall any Xbox mention.

Looks like somebody developed a taste for rice, and I ain't talking about pudding.

That is what I'm betting on, but depending on how February and March go, I can see a price happen before E3 with a slim model released at E3.
Don't think so either, trailers have the PS4 box in the front.
I think it was revealed on one of their stages though. But even if they do have a marketing deal with that game. It's not going to push hardware. Just diversify the portfolio.
I remember days when this would be considered pretty good PR. You have set the bar too high Microsoft.
*Months with more game releases (even if they're just multiplat)
*Slim model
*Gears of War 4
*Christmas season (alongside its build up)
I think Quantum Break will give Xbox One sales a bit of a boost but not very significant.
