you would think they would be stroking their mushroom tips at the launch at their killer IP as they spent so much money on it, but we arent hearing anything about how much their killer ip did and how many X1s it pushed
They will once they have a huge number to report. Do a kind of "We sold 97 million systems" and in fine print "to date" or "we shipped that many"
If they really have been selling as much as they claim then they would put a number on it to impress people.
But at the end of the day I couldn't give a shit how much money they made or systems they sold because xbox one simply has absolutely nothing on it I want, or anything announced Im interested in. Ps3 still has all the exclusives still coming out for it I want and my ps4 will get all the cross platform games I want and as usual with sony it will have the exclusives I really want. I mean mcdonalds sells like a billion burgers a day, but I still don't want one.
Lol, the Xbox One already passed the PS4 months ago, even though they've avoided showing official numbers at all costs, and I have no proof to back up this statement, and any corporation in the history of EVER would be shouting from the rooftops if a milestone like this actually happened, but but I swear guize, Xbox One passed PS4 already, trust me. Would be the appropriate response if Lems used Cow's ridiculous logic from last gen.
is this thread a joke...MS usually gives out its sales numbers before Sony does. Sony then takes a week or two to pad stats then announces theres lol. cows will try anything man, i tellz yah.

Then why haven't they given numbers in over 4 months? Since M$ last gave numbers Sony has given 2 or 3 reports lol. Hold on to your butts lems, M$' quarterly report won't be pretty.
I really don't understand why console gamers use sale figures to troll other console gamers. Using popularity to define the best console would ultimately backfire.
The most popular game genre is currently Mobas, a genre that consoles haven't mastered yet because their input devices are too unwieldy and limited to handle the games. The most popular game is LOL and the game has endured for years, unlike popular console games that must pump out a new installment every year to keep their grip on a tiny fraction of LoL's active player base.
Popularity absolutely does not make Mobas the best genre, and LoL the best game. If however popularity actually mattered on system wars, console gamers and console games would hardly even register. There are Flappy Bird clones more popular then TLOU.
@I_can_haz: neither has Sony though -_- there was the official announcement then a couple other reports that havent been verified yet. they gave their numbers a couple weeks after MS did. and it will most likely be the same process this next time...MS will announce and then Sony will a few weeks after.
unless Sony did bad. if they did bad they'll wait even longer or will release ps3/ps4 numbers lumped together.
I don't see why people act as if MS is this shady company. they've been very upfront this generation. even with the DRM nonsense...they did try to sugarcoat it but they still told people the deal and dealt with the repercussions. Sony hides and tries to fool its customers way more than Microsoft honestly, imo.

Bullshit.
Sony revealed on Feb when they surpassed 5.3 million sold: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/18/ps4-sales-pass-5-million-ahead-of-japanese-launch
and they also revealed in March when they surpassed 6 million: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/03/03/ps4-hits-6-million-ushers-in-new-era-of-social-gameplay/
Face it lem, M$ is dancing around releasing their numbers. They haven't announced how much they've sold since December last year, they must be scared lol.

sony gives 2 -3 reports since November, they haven't been verified.
but Microsoft will give 1 report INSTANTLY VERIFIED.
the last thing Microsoft said since their last report was the xbox brand was selling well, could that mean the 360/x1 were lumped together>?

I stand corrected. but yea, usually MS takes the first step then Sony follows. sony likes crowing when the going is good I guess. all last gen they tried every trick in the book to make their numbers look better than they actually were. but yea, I was wrong about these last set of numbers.

there last number reveal they did kind of lump the numbers of both together. but they still gave the numbers for both systems separately as well. when Sony does it they just give the one number to skew the results.

The infamous numbers are only for March 21 to March 28 too, also during infamous launch weekend 180,000 ps4 sold in pal territories vs 25,000 xbox ones in the same time period. PS4 outsold Xbox one 7 to 1 in pal territories. 100,000 more ps4 sold in north america in same time period (not sure about xbox one) According to the article Sony has 3 million lead on MS ouch.....
Lol, the Xbox One already passed the PS4 months ago, even though they've avoided showing official numbers at all costs, and I have no proof to back up this statement, and any corporation in the history of EVER would be shouting from the rooftops if a milestone like this actually happened, but but I swear guize, Xbox One passed PS4 already, trust me.

Oh Lems, don't worry, no matter what happens you can always rehash last-gen arguments to try to feel better.
Why? Everyone knows they aren't doing as well, so what's the point, what's to say? Yes MS release the data, because we need it for SWs purposes... lol.
I doubt they will, M$ is not the type of company to rely on hype, bragging, and bashing the competition to gets its foot in the ground, exception Apple. Xbox is making a profit and thats all they care about, not some pole swinging fanboy war.

How do you know they are making a profit? Even their shareholders wouldn't know that yet.

xbox hasn't been making a profit in years if ever. MS stays afloat through their other divisions.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the sales statistics are closer now than they were in the previous generation, yes? Didn't the 360 have a much broader lead early on and during the life of the consoles up to the very end when they kind of evened out again?

It's pretty early to brag too much either way.
If sales figures haven't been released then I don't think we can surmise your premise.
MS posted financial results for Oct - Dec on Jan 23rd.
They will post financial results for Jan - Mar on Apr 24th.
MS posted combined X360/X1 results on the Xbox KPI result, but in the written segment review they broke it into the two separate components. Presumably, they will again combine the KPI but clarify in the written portion.
Sony won't release its Jan - Mar financials until the 2nd or 3rd week of May.
