I'm not saying it is a niche product. I'm saying it's MORE of a niche product than the PS4 is. Closer to achieving the status of being a niche product.
Did you really expect another outcome when said topic is specifically focusing on a comment that is 100% fanboy fuel? (Not to say that TC's intention was to incite those type of reactions on the first page)
It had higher overall spend, and certainly higher engagement earlier in the gen (don't really remember the average across the whole generation).
Ancillary data, a closer examination of buying trends for early adapters, and intuition.
I wasn't trying to map, quite the opposite, I wanted to say the difference is mostly because of the platform itself, not the user base, something that Ms does on their consoles that leads people to spend more there.
The difference is mostly a result of the user base size. That's not to say there aren't other factors that play some part (as I have said again and again, I think there are).
I think regional differences are a part of it - but is there really any point in dissembling when you are talking to investors? The point being - you can make stats tell any story, but if there are people with the data to see that your case is, lets say, weak, is it worth saying at all?
I dunno, if we were talking about a type of food or something I think you could safely say it is, relative to the size of the market, yes. But since we're talking about video games, yeah I agree, the Xbox One isn't a niche product by any means, just less popular. I've said that probably 4 times already, so how about we just move on from this?
I thought I saw Spencer directly shoot those marketing exclusivity rumors down on Twitter. Unless you are talking about another rumor then I apologize.
I thought it was Gearbox that shot them down. Was there more from Spencer?
Yep.
The user base is so different in size that it would basically always be the biggest factor, no matter the other factors.
There was a "leak" (unknown how accurate) that gave exclusive games coming out (a new Fable and Perfect Dark to name a couple)
I haven't saw Spencer's reply, so I apologise. Let's wait for the E3 to see then...
Well I missed one that happened yesterday I guess. $400 X1X's (I want to use it for some speakers, would be nice to not pay tax and get a small discount)
Someone asked him on Twitter about the marketing exclusivity and he replied with a no. Trying to find the chain.
Ah, I did completely forgot about this one. Definitely keeping an eye on E3 and hopefully we get some direct confirmation either way.
There is a lot of smoke around Fable/Playground games so I believe that particular one. Not to derail, but I'm skeptical about the rest of the leak being 100% accurate. If so though, damn it's a pretty enticing lineup
Yes I've read the OP, I know they need to convince the investors that Xbox is the way to go because somehow they get the most engagement in that platform. And I believe you get engagement from releasing new exciting content. Does it matter if you can get more of every user if most of them are on other platforms spending that money?
You do realize though it wasn't "bragging" it was during an investor Q&A?
