Xbox One S Seeing "Unprecedented Demand," Backwards Compatibility Hits New Milestone

Sony has more games. Sony has a wider variety of games. Sony has better games.

Until Microsoft can fix that, they'll always be playing second or third fiddle.

"Xbox one's backwards compatibility feature"

I miss the days whe this was not a feature but something you expected.

Biggest hype ever lmao. If Backwards compatability is the biggest selling point then obviously the Xbox one sucks to begin with. If I wanted to play old games I'd play them on my Xbox 360, which is still hooked up to a tv. Same goes for the ps4 with playstation now. No thanks. How about Microsoft worry about getting better and new games out for this deserted wasteland of a console. The hardware in it sucks too. 720p resolution? Gtfo of here with that. Blurry and jittery framerate? Gtfo here with that. That's why multiplats always look better on the superior ps4. Hopefully Scorpio will live up to the hype.

I won't deny it's like the Xbox brand has been reborn from the smoking wreck that was the XB360. It kind makes me wonder what the transition was like for some die hard xbox players as Phil Spencer took over and fixed things up. Like was there a gradual difference in games you were getting and does it feel like the usual slow down in exclusives is happening

Working at Best Buy this is definitely true. We have been selling these things left and right. Mostly for games but there are some customers getting them just for the 4K Blu-Rays as well. I want to get one but I'll just wait for Scorpio.

Give me Vesperia or give me PlayStation.

They should of called this console Xbox one Sheep... Upgraded console n its milestone is millions of hours played of last gen games LMAO.

this console is alot better than the old one but if you have an x1 already you really don't need to upgrade as of yet as it does nothing for except save space. as most people do not have 4k t.v's as of yet to take advantage of the the new blue ray player that comes with this thing but if you do than i say if you want it go get it.

Pretty convenient when Microsoft says that they will no longer give sales figures for consoles sold but now they want to boast about the slim selling well in Europe without providing numbers.

numbers to substantiate claims ?

Article should be titled: Xbox One S Seeing "Unprecedented Demand." The Lobby clueless as to why.

And went more like:

Gamespot went back and spoke to Peter Brown, Mike Mahardy, Jimmy Thang who posed the question "Should You Buy an Xbox One S?" on The Lobby the other day, and asked them why everyone seems to be clambering for this new Xbox against their advice. Jimmy Thang, who wrote a technical review for the Xbox One S just prior to The Lobby in question, had this to say, "Other than the high contrast, bright color, HDR thing, and it's 4K video stuff, I just don't know. I guess because It's small, white and sexy. Hey, that's what I look for in women. Who needs to know more than that. Am I right?" After high fiving with Jimmy Thang and Peter Brown, Mike Mahardy stated, "Now that I've been around the new Xbox One S for a while, I can't help but love how HUGE my hand looks next to this thing. " . . . .

Buzzinga! ;)

Limited quantities? Sold out? Obvious connection. And unprecedented demand for the Xbox S is basically anyone buying it considering how pathetic the X1 is.

Love to buy next gen systems to play last gen games. But if it works go with it. My 360 sits right next to my X1.

Wow. A lot of hate, as usual, in the comments section. I'm very happy to hear Microsoft's new model is selling great.

Competition is a good thing.

ican see the appeal...i guess its one of the cheapest 4K players in the market.

I still have my old 360 and a bunch of games. If I could get backwards compatability on all my favorites (quite a few already are) I'm sold, especially on that Halo bundle.

So are BC gameplay hours more than XB1 gameplay hours?

I can buy another GTX 980 TI for $350, so no thanks.

That is one sexy lil box. I want one and I wouldn't even have time to play it.
