Microsoft: We're losing because the PS3 sucks

They have all taken a leave of absence. It happens anytime NPD numbers come out. They'll be back in a couple of days only to run away again this time next month when May NPD releases lol.

I get accused of this crap a lot

Damn Lemmings

Worldwide:

X360: 83.7 million (as of March 31, 2014)

PS3: 80 million (as of November 2, 2013)

it can't get more official than that ^

so much for the PS3 winning :P

surprised the last numbers are from Nov

4 months difference and PS3 would of no doubt sold a bomb load at xmas which are not included in the numbers.

So it can't get any more wrong then that ^

yay speculation!

MS going into panic mode dropping the Kinect they already paid $100 for and the paywalls they paid $60 a year for combined with PS4 outselling it 2:1 in April and Infamous Second Son outselling the Bone version of Titanflop has broken them.

In other words lems have been boned.

More like common sense, or are you saying that PS3 wouldn't of sold a bomb load globally at xmas?

Why is microsoft paying for those things?

I don't know what constitutes a "bomb load" but that doesn't mean it beat out the 360 unless you have some official data to show otherwise

@lostrib: Where did he state that the PS3 outsold the 360?

well if he's not saying that, then there isn't much point to his argument

@lostrib: All hes saying is there's 4 mos difference and the PS3 numbers dont account for the strongest sales time of the year, the holidays.

Is it that hard to understand?

@PinkieWinkie: unless he's saying that those sales put the PS3 ahead, his statement is entirely irrelevant

Is it wrong that I laughed?

Spinaroonie bitch.

but the Xbone was supposed to swap ps3 users over to Xbone.. what happend MS

@blackace: it's funny how you still think Xbone has a chance outside uk and murica.. hahaha

I am not sure because we do not have new official numbers so perhaps sold more is the wrong choice of words. however PS3 did out sell xbox360 during the time it was on the market. That is a fact.

Either they are in denial or completely and utterly blind.

Do us all a favor and stop posting sites seeking hits with click bait specially sites I've never even heard of.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/05/13/microsofts-yusuf-mehdi-explains-the-xbox-ones-split-with-kinect-2/ Original article.

""It’s hard to really assess the gap in sales. They’re in many more markets right now than we are. They’re in 40+ markets, we’re in 13. People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3, so in that respect people have less of a need to upgrade in the short term due to regular updates for the Xbox 360. We could point to any number of things. That said, we’ve heard from a lot of our Xbox fans who say, “Hey look, I want an Xbox One, but at $499, I probably have to wait a little while before I can afford to get one.” I do think we’re going to get people now who move over, and then buy the Kinect later. So I do think the [price point] broadens the appeal and hopefully brings more people to Xbox One sooner."""

Saying that people are more satisfied doesn't instantly mean people are dissatisfied with the ps3, It could mean more people have a 360, or people are just neutral to their ps3 ownership which doesn't mean they are dissatisfied by it, People need to stop thinking that its always a yes or no answer, its always black and white Its often grey, and often neutral.

The article you posted is shit its click bait simple as that specially when they use shit like this.

""Despite Microsoft’s seemingly panicked response to being behind the PlayStation 4 the sales of the Xbox One have still been far from disastrous, particularly in the US.""

That's not worthwhile let alone good journalism.

What's up with all the idiots who like wrestling on this forum?

Hahahahahaha Honestly if this is what Microsoft have in line to promote the Xbox One and give there take, they need to really get rid of everyone and start a fresh.

since before the consoles came out and beyond, I've never once heard of a PS3 user going over to Xbox One, I've heard of many going from PS3 to PS4, and I've heard many of people who jumped ship from 360 to PS4.

Xbox One is not selling well because of price end of, and people aren't stupid buying consoles, if your getting a faster more up to date machine for a better price you get that, forget us as fanboys and having fun debates and chipping away at each other, the PS4 really is great value for money.

I don't know if it is just him or the company but someone is very deluded.

This. It's hilarious they try to ignore facts and just make blatant statements to try to bash their competitor.

how dare you not like wrestling.

They have pretty much the same graphics, why should they?

No, it's because the X1 sucks so the people that own a 360 are still sticking with it or they're buying PS4 instead.

prove it

Partly the price....but I doubt that is the only reason. MS has done nothing by missteps this gen. Yes they did a 180 after E3 and are still doing so....but first impressions last. And some people really did get fed up with the RROD last gen. Consumer confidence is very important. If you buy a car and have a lot of problems with it.....you're not going to buy the same model....sometimes not even brand.

And that doesn't change the fact the that Xbox One isn't doing well compared to the PS4. So once again, get over it.

Well...mattrick did say to everyone on Spike TV that they have a product for you if you didn't like their Xbone vision, it's the 360.

PR 101 on how to not sell your latest console.

Ain't got no future or fanboy tree

But I know what a fanboy and lover ought to be

I know what a fanboy and lover ought BEEEEE...

SAID If you want to call me fanboy

Just go ahead now...

lol same. He knew how to post.

he knew how to make lists XD

Kinect is why X box 1 has lagged so far behind, it was a terrible idea to bundle it in.

The power difference is between the X box 1 and ps4 is negligible really, especially for console gamers as they don't see graphics resolution and framerate as an important aspect by default.

That's not true. Console gamers DO look for the better looking consoles....and really they don't lag that far behind PCs. It's not like they look PS era compared to new graphics cards.

No you're losing because you'll never take the world market from Sony, and your reveal sucked.

That spin is brilliant.

Not sure if Microsoft are serious or just trolling though.

Hey pumpkin. I see you bragging over second place, gloating about the Silver Medal.

last gen, PC

• MOST aaa-aa total games
• MOST aaa exclusives. Most aa. Most a. (exclusives)
• Best multiplats of 90% of games.
• Best online.
• Best gfx and performance.
• Best competitive play and e-sports.

No go fight for 2nd, plebeian.

who cares about PC ? LOL

only those fat guys that never go outside

still no GTA5 LOOL

@LJS9502_basic: by default they don't, pc is the definitive experience for gaming.

Most games look noticeably better, and the biggest difference is the resolution and framerate as most console games don't run at 60fps and 1080p.

They would have been better off keeping their mouth shut.

They made an absolute fool of themselves. It's embarrassing.

This must without a doubt be the reason yeah. Now that I think of it, this must be the reason why I'm switching from Xbox 360 to PS4 in the near future.

That depends on what the individual is looking for in gaming....

@LJS9502_basic: given the choice everyone would rather 60fps and 1080p. I cant see someone looking for for 30fps and sub 1080p resolutions.

If your a console gamer, as I said by default things like graphics,frame rate and resolution are lower down in your list of what your looking for by default.

The only use I have for consoles is I'll buy one when it has an exclusive I really want.

What a cold unemotional approach to gaming....

M$ have a point! The only reason Xbox got so popular was because the PS3 was Sony's worst console.

it's not doing as well because ms blew it.

the price, the perception, the hype, the press, kinect, ect, ect, ect...
