3DS deals and sales on eShop, Walmart, Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, Toys "R" Us, Groupon and Cowboom.
One of the biggest releases of the year, Starfield, is days away from its full global release, with owners of its Premium and Constellation Editions already having had early access for a couple of days, and unsurprisingly, the excitement surrounding the space-faring RPG’s launch has resulted in increased hardware sales for Xbox as well.
It's to be expected software especially really hyped software always drives hardware sales and that's a fact! Xbox for many years has been lacking the software side so the hardware sales has always suffered..
We’ve heard this how many times?
“UK Xbox Sales Up 1000 Percent Following Xbox One S Launch“
“Xbox Series X sales increased by with 1335% after the showcase“
“Xbox Series X Saw 1000% Increase In Amazon Sales Thanks To Starfield“
Not hard to have a 1,000% increase when the base number is......... 2. I kid, I kid, but it's cool that they sold a couple of thousand consoles off the back of Starfield.
Well provide links if you’ve got them. Those are just quotes with no source lol
PeterOvo and GamingBolt are both as thick as each other. That percentage number does not mean the Xbox Series X has had an increase in sales of 1,056%. It means the percentage increase in Amazon sales rank; in other words if you look at the picture it actually says the Xbox was at 370 in the Amazon chart and now is at 32 - so a big leap to nearer the top of the chart. However this gives no indication of how many units the Xbox Series X had actually sold, although you can infer an increase. There’s nothing wrong with not understanding something - but it’s very wrong when stupid people make a song and dance because they think they are clever when in fact they are too stupid to know otherwise.

Jin,
OK, what is your point? at each one of these points, that was the increase.
"We’ve heard this how many times?"
I have as well, every single time any console gets an increase in sales, again, your point?
@bloop
Exactly. It was at rank “370”, that means sales were very low prior to this state. So 1000% (means x10) is relative to how many were being sold. Also this is a “snapshot”. Its momentary, not over a sustained period of time. Something like this can easily be fabricated by a smart company that holds shipments of consoles and delivers upon release of game. Lets see what the monthly sales say. Will it have “1000%” sales increase? No. It wont. That will tell us how significant the game actually was.
“OK, what is your point? at each one of these points, that was the increase.“
My point is that it only moves the needle for a short period then sales slow again. Meanwhile PS5 and Switch continue selling truckloads.
The metacritic review score for the Xbox version is dropping as well. Maybe they finally added IGN review score on there
They didn't make a good game, they didn't make the game. Starfield was already coming to Xbox.
The only thing MS will see is that buying up the multiplatform industry, locking away games from gamers instead of making them is the way to go.
This doesn’t tell them anything yet. Read my comment above. This is marketing plot.
Not saying good games dont sell consoles. But what Starfield did if anything will be seen once the real numbers come out for monthly sales.
Maybe someone should inform Phil Spencer and make him aware that quality games equals to more sales. For some weird reason this is such a hard concept to understand
I'm curious to what the numbers will end up being at the end of this month. That'll tell the story.
This is only a snapshot. It can easily be fabricated by causing a momentary delay in shipments of consoles for PR purposes. The monthly sales will tell the real numbers.
PlayStation 5 consoles will once again drop to just $449.99 on August 6 in the US.
@darth the sales numbers in the UK, where this price cut has already been implemented, strongly disagree with you.
No. They are going for off loading before the slim. I'd save my $ till then. Unless that kinda thing doesn't matter to you.
That's November..
This is for kids on summer holidays
Not everywhere is hot and sunny like California, some kids, need things to do when it's raining/cold and this, is it.
They going to bury Xbox. Xbox will turn around and justify the mobile/streaming shift.
They already are burying Xbox... this is just another nail in that coffin. Sony put the hammer away and busted out the nail gun.
i believe they want as many gamers to buy PS5 as possible because once someone buys into the ecysystem they are a lot less likely to leave for another platform
This is how Sony goes for the jugular. Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare. Also clear that the discless PS5 will be the single PS5 going forward and the disc drive will be an add-on. When the $300 PS5 slim launches, the hot sales of PS5 will go super nova. (Don’t feel like you need to wait. On an annual cost basis, you may be better off getting a $400-$450 PS5 that you can use now versus waiting for a console that will be obsolete sooner.)
"Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare".
Sheesh, and here I thought M$ had a monopoly on the gaming market. Sony owing most of the market means it'll be easier for M$ to buy publishers to compete lol
Stand by my boy. Digging up this goal post. Pardon while I write my new narrative.
Looking forward to when Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox Series X & the comments will be that Microsoft are desperate lolol
Amazon is celebrating Father's Day, as they have kicked off a new buy 2 get 1 free sale on PS4 games. Here are all the games included.
Deals this good are reason enough to buy the handheld finally.
At last going to grab Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
Damn, I missed Kirby for $29.99 at Amazon.
3DS XL Mario & Luigi Bundle + DS Game for $169.99
Why do the best deals always happen when I am broke? That deal is insane O_o
I really really enjoyed devil survivor. I never finished, but want to. I might pick it back up tonight.
