Xbox 360 sales:
June 2006 - 277K
June 2007 - 198K
June 2008 - 220K
June 2009 - 241K
June 2010 - 452K
June 2011 - 507K
June 2012 - 257K
June 2013 - 141K
If Microsoft really could only manage like 150-160K this month, that's fundamentally underwhelming in comparison to the precedent set by Xbox 360.
They really should have managed more sellthrough this month. Is the lack of interest indicative of a flawed value proposition?

E3 hype doesn't sell systems in mass quantity.
That's nice. This is a videogame discussion forum on the internet.

I don't care what people say. If microsoft doesn't win June, this year belongs to PS4.

This holiday is going to pave the way for the future of the Xbox One. If Microsoft can't get the system on track by the new year I feel we will have another Wii U on our hands and the PS4 will have to try and carry the load by itself.
150,000 (if that is the rough estimate) for the month of June is actually not too bad. Was there really any significant software last month?

Ain't going to lie. Thats pretty bad. Not disastrous, certainly no WiiU but worrying for MS.
So if your preemptive post was meant for the NPD thread where people would be flipping out why don't you preemptively post it there instead of here?

With the way things are going, I'm starting to doubt they can even beat PS4 during Halo MCC month.

I expected it to bump up
all price revision do.... usually
what would be interesting is if we still see a increase in July or will it spiral downwards

Of course it will happen tomorrow Nostradamus. Was the same way every single npd last gen too.
Well it's to be expected, it's a really important month for the Xbox One what with the kinectless SKU and all.
Well, you can look at it as if they stopped the sales atrophy with the price cut.
Personally I think MS is going to be puttering along at roughly 150-160k per month until fall (if they're lucky and this wasn't just a one time bump based on the price cut, which could be a real possibility).
If they hadn't cut the price it would've been much much worse for them in June.
Face it Tiger..

So PS4>XO once again huh..
You know MS would jump at the jump at the chance to rub # 1 all over the web at a given opportunity.

I was thinking it'd be way higher due to news of kinectless bundle affecting sales for the previous months.
Yeah, I am sure they will see a nice bump by the holidays with the horde of games coming out.

If Titanfall couldn't do it, I doubt much else could.

Then nothing yet.
And some people enjoy discussing sales. Weird huh?

What is so special about June? Aside from a new SKU?

So this is flying off shelves.
Preemptive thread whining leads to preemptive bans and preemptive tears.

Cant imagine they are happy just doubling the sales of May which were horrible. Can we cross pricecut off the chalkboard now?

Don't think that was ever in doubt.
Isn't new CoD out that month as well, among other multiplats that can drive next gen console sales like AC Unity?
Chances are that multi plats will do more for PS4 than they will for XB1 imo.

It should be noted that a $100 price drop month really should have done better than 150k, especially considering a) it's a five week month and b) they were taking preorders of the cheaper bundle for most of May, so this includes a fair chunk of sales that happened in May.
Expect the Xbone to be around the 100k mark next month, then.

I wonder if this is the month Sony will break their silence about their sales or ltd sales.

I think many people are going to be playing the Destiny Beta tomorrow so tomorrow's thread may be a bit lackluster. Especially since we already know the outcome. The only shocker would be if WiiU outsold the XB1.

They are gonna win November...Or whenever Halo Remake comes out...Maybe Sunset Overdrive if the reviews are good.

I think we're looking at it wrong when comparing June/May sales. June isn't a surge, but rather May was a drop.
The fact that MS announced the new sku and faux-price drop in early May means they conceded a large amount of sales that month. Therefore it's really hard to tell what the June data means right now. Is this a surge in customers from the E3 coverage? Or people that simply jumped on the console once it was 399.99? I think the July numbers will actually be the most interesting.

Yeah. If PS4 demand remains constant from last month, we'll see PS4 around 240K.
A stark comparison to a post-price drop Xbox One.

They do have the COD marketing deal also which might help.
I expected this though to be honest, they don't have momentum. Usually the first 10-15m are the hardcore crowd and more seem to be going the PS4 route rather than Xbox. I have one and enjoy it but for me it certainly doesn't have that new console feel the 360 and original Xbox did.
Thanks for the numbers.
I guess this will be end of using "Xbox one is doing better than 360, shut up guys! Stop hurting my consoles feelings!"

People said the same going into March and also June. We will see how it turns out but overall it would be crazy to think the PS4 outsells the X1 in both the price drop and Titandrop months.
