We have to believe that the presentation held last night convinced many people to make the purchase. Not for the new Xbox Series S, but for the Xbox Series X, which rose to the top of Amazon sales by taking first place, with an increase of 1,335%, just that .

La Xbox Series X est en top des ventes après la conférence Xbox Games Showcase

Avec son Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft a frappé un grand coup grâce à une conférence solide, au rythme parfait et au line-up intéressant. Un [...]

Imagine that. Good games sell systems.

 

[Sub_Level]

Not even 1337%. Pathetic.

Heisenberg007
This is what I meant, when I said they are having huge shipment after the show.

 

[Del_X]

It appears sold out at Amazon and Best Buy

 

[Imtjnotu]

from 13-1300

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Maybe 11/10 games move the needle after all

 

[Thirty7ven]

Sure

 

[Bernoulli]

from 13-1300

Negative 13 to 1335

Another L for phil.
Todd games never miss the shot

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Would ya look at that.

 

[Neff]

Is this just Starfield or something else? Because otherwise I didn't think the conference was all that great.

 

[FunkMiller]

Imagine how much higher it would be if Starfield was only coming out on Series X.

 

[feynoob]

Is this just Starfield or something else? Because otherwise I didn't think the conference was all that great.

It's mostly starfield plus MS dumping down huge shipment.
It's a tactic to increase the sales alot, as everyone is paying a lot of attention to this show.

They did something similar last 2 showcase.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Competition is good, i hope this moves consoles. Xbox will probably never outsell playstation again. But excitement about the brand and consoles moving might puts some pressure on complacent Jim to actually show some cool stuff at their next presentation

 

[Adam_802]

System seller.

[DeaDPo0L84]

That's nearly 45 times the framerate on said console, nice.

Old classic leet speak. I like.

Where are the numbers?

Oh, and Amazon chart lists do matter, confirmed, just like Greenberg quoting VGChartz. What a time to be alive.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I imagine a lot of people with shitty / low end PCs that are fans of Bethesda games or RPG games in general are dipping into Series consoles as it's by far the most budget friendly way to experience Starfield.

?????
Now do we need numbers.

 

[Guilty_AI]

It can't be because of the games, i was told releasing them day 1 on PC makes people not buy the consoles.

 

[jm89]

I'm assuming they are talking about the movers and shakers list?

A item could be selling 1 item and then sell 5 and that will give it around 400% boost and push it right to the top of that chart.

Movers and shakers temporary boost is meaningless for long terms sales.

 

[DeepEnigma]

?????
Now do we need numbers.

Yes. We always need numbers. Adds context to the nuance.

It can't be because of the games, i was told releasing them day 1 on PC makes people not buy the consoles.

We were also told great games don't move the needle. Officially.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[nowifenolife]

Although this conference was miles better than sonys imo, I wouldnt be surprised if xbox bought all those boxes themselves just to get the hype boxtrain going.

 

[Katatonic]

MS using some of the 80 billion they have laying around to buy their own consoles.

Edit: Bahahaha just saw the post above.

 

[feynoob]

Yes. We always need numbers.

Then go and ask retailers.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Then go and ask retailers.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Much deserved! Hopefully it stays consistent.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Truth to be told, vast majority doesn't.

Unless you have Todd's face in it, or Miyamoto's

I'm going the GeForce Now route with Game Pass Ultimate before I shell out on a console.

 

[feynoob]

How do you expect me to ask them.
My French is garbage and I will get kicked out by the French people.

On other hand, you are expert in Frenchm

 

[Oppoi]

Now the tide will change... or not. Give it a couple weeks.

 

[feynoob]

Save your money.
We are almost 3 years in to this console cycle.
4-5 years and they will make a new one.
Invest your money on a high end PC.

 

[bender]

Shieryl wasn't much help tbh.

I mean, France is like 80/20 if not more in favor on PlayStation.

So, 1335% on 10 consoles, while better considering the place, does nothing for us without numbers.

It's like when they bragged about Japan "being their fastest growing market" a year or two ago when they sold 3,000 consoles instead of 500 that month. A place they don't talk about much anymore.

 

[LectureMaster]

Phil now should reevaluate his previous admitting of defeat, good games do turn the tide.

 

[Draugoth]

They will all be playing in 30 FPS in 1 year time.

Good of MS thought. The showcase was good.

 

[Ozriel]

We were also told great games don't move the needle. Officially.

That’s not what was said, though.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Shieryl wasn't much help tbh.

Ffs Sheryl!

Don't be shy, quote all of us in thread who said that.

 

[Laieon]

Is this just Starfield or something else?

It was Metaphor.

 

[stn]

lmao, brilliant.

 

[Negotiator101]

It's the Starfield effect, gonna be huge.

 

[Quantum253]

It would have gone even higher if they had a limited edition Starfield Series X. Carry the same design over and include the Starfield controller. Things would have pre-orders sell out. The only thing that makes me think they didn't is that console availability is still off and they are trying to get basic consoles back in stores. To this day, I still haven't seen a Series X on the shelf at a store.

 

[Dunnas]

Movers and shakers temporary boost is meaningless for long terms sales.

Actually, 500 would a 49,900% increase over 1.

 

[jm89]

Actually, 500 would a 49,900% increase over 1.

Whoops yeah.

But yeah that chart is not very usefull.

 

[harry mason 1989]

Xbox will destroy ps5 and switch this year imo
And yes I'm not trolling I'm serious
