Every little counts!

Although given the cost of advertising, distribution and localisation, probably more cost effective to just not bother in Japan.

The Xbox had some terrific, exclusive designs in Japan - I particularly like the "clear black" launch edition:

Total sales of the Xbox One haven’t yet hit 20m, if the chief financial officer of EA is to be believed. That’s not a favourable comparison to the PS4, which has sold 35.9m according to Sony.

Even though Microsoft quietly stopped telling the world total Xbox One sales in October, it seems it hasn’t been able to keep the rest of the games industry so quiet. In EA’s case, it appears it ended up spilling the beans accidentally.

UK hardware sales so far this year compared to last (from MCV magazine)

https://issuu.com/newbayeurope/docs/mcv880_may_27th

PS4 up 6.7%
Xbox One down 15.8%

Looks like Xbox One sales already reached their peak last year, another price drop is really needed.

There have been some tremendous deals on XBO during the past few weeks so I wonder if that will have edged sales up? Maybe the new Xbox Slim will revive fortunes; the MS showing at E3 could be very interesting.

MCV also wrote:Overall, console sales in the UK are 22.6% down.

:o . Wow, I'm surprised by that - that's a huge drop.

"December was the biggest month ever for Xbox One sales in the U.S. and Xbox One was the only eighth generation console with year-over-year growth," the representative said. "In addition, Xbox One was the top-selling console over the second half of 2016"

Unfortunately, for MS, USA isn't the world. It's a market that becomes less and less relevant each year.

Taipei Game Show starts next week, unsurprisingly, Microsoft won't be there.

How does growth, even if it's just 3% YoY, make it less relevant each year?

He means because the other regions are growing faster, the US is a lower percentage of the overall market share. Yes, this is a stupid point to make, but it is Nick. He was probably masturbating as he typed it out.

Because the other areas are growing much faster.
