Can you show to us this healthy profit? I'm interested to read.
I got that impression from their last financial statement, hey I might have read it wrong.
Damn, it seems that US is the only one carrying the console and I'm guessing there's only so much 1 country can do.

I mean, relative to how many consoles MS have sold so far, revenue looks pretty good?

xbox division isn't only consoles. it includes pc gaming, subscription services, life insurances and softdrinks.
lol, also makes sense. For some reason I though Sony and Microsoft's gaming divisions were making the same amount of money. Might no te the case.
35 mill still sounds incredibly low
CBOAT and Bish aren't even the same person. i heard it was supposedly a multiaccount but never saw it confirmed for sure. either way, CBOAT got a lot right with his statements btw. and Bish was in charge of verifying insiders so he'd likely have some sources.

So EA predicts Switch to miss their sales goal by around 8 million ?
So they must simply not include some huge swaths of the globe.
With the amount of trolling and bloodlust that comes with these threads that number has to be super low. New unique members, maaaaybe.
I think this is the first time Ive actually chuckled at one of these
So whichever is more correct, 30 or 35 Million, that's still a really low number considering we're approaching the 5th anniversary of these consoles.
Im curious if they'll be able to turn things around in Europe for next gen and have some 360 like success again there.

If they went by MAUs the number would be well over 100 million
They all do that though. Now that Sony is in the lead they set bad precedents like no BC, no cross platform play with other consoles, no refunds, etc.
I'm not sure anything beats not being able to play used games and performing an online check in every 24 hours. But that's just my opinion.
Yes Bc would be cool but most ppl buy new consoles to play new games.
User Banned (5 Days): Off-site baggage, attacking another user, system warring.
Upon that Btw bish was clearly sony biased ,and that would be okay if he wasn't using his power in line with his bias
His "verifying sources" was part of the bias tooets forget that place and that mod..I don't understand how ppl can take him seriously
Exactly what I was going to say. And on BC, I still have my old games with my old systems. I have zero interest in playing them since I have so many new games to play.
Hey, they gotta have some excuse to continue ignoring the Switch.
Either way this is not bish claiming this are the numbers, this is EA an actual publisher who is pretty close to both Sony and MS, even more to MS. If you don't trust their numbers then what numbers do you trust?
I am kinda confused in few days/weeks back there was some thread from MS meeting stated that there are 59m of active XBL users, does that mean, that their are lump together number from Xbox Console, from Windows store and from Minecraft players on Switch? Sorry if I missed something.
It's good to remember users who he is..after 30 answer "OMG" like if he can be a trustworthy person
That's quite a judgement of character. What are you basing this on? Are you telling us that this grown man that's been a moderator for years has been misusing his responsibilities because console wars?
Nah, the only thing they said is that there are 103m potential customers for EA console games in 2017.
(warning! entirely unscientific and inaccurate crime-against-math in the following!)
I am actually curious about the PS4 sales numbers, deducting PS4 Pro sales. There is something like 20 million PS4's sold since Pro came out, though that is extremely rough and guestimated on my part. Adding another assumption that 1 in 5 PS4 sold was a Pro, which once again is based on a single datapoint only, AND the really strange assumption that people only buy Pro as an upgrade, we arrive at 4 million Pros sold up to now.
Deduct 4 million from 73.6m, we get 69.4m as the PS4 install base. Then 103-69.4=33.6m Xbox1 Install base. (And that number would theoretically not include those who upgrade from Xb1 to 1X)
So, 33.6m Xbox1 install base vs Sony's 69.4m?
This is entirely not accurate, but probably makes more sense than what Dualshockers did.
Yes, that's exactly what they do. A Windows 10 minesweeper player is a "monthly active XBL user" these days.
Backwards compatibility is always good at the start of a new gen, especially if the BC comes with improvements like PS2, PS3, and now Xbox One. Now with the new x86 architecture hopefully all consoles going forward with Playstation, and Xbox will have BC. No more expensive emotion engine chip or whatever software solution they ended up using on later PS3s. I think they still had to use some sound chip as well.
IMO it's more likely EA is removing the Japan sales than the Pro/X1X, Welfare and Phantom Thief had a few good posts on this mid-thread
It's probably any Hotmail email address linked to an Xbox account, being console, PC app or anything else.
MS have some fairly engaged 29m users. Impressive.
edit: New nightera layout is ok but please tone down the saturated purple.

i feel like people should start tracking xbox sales estimates. feels like every few months the number gets revised down because a new piece of info comes out. at this rate, the vita might overtake it
