Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S price increase announced for Japan

[ethomaz]

@peter42O, I read your that comment in InstallBase:

Xbox Series S is keeping them closer than expected in my opinion

NPD December 2022: #1 MW2 #2 Pokemon #3 God of War; NSW #1 Units (PS5 #2) PS5 #1 Revenue (NSW #2) [UPDATE: Full Report Out]

Holy moly you need to take a step back from the keyboard because your bias is really clouding your posts here. All I’m saying is that Xbox 1st party hasn’t been delivering and that’s why they’re struggling HW wise. Sony has done a better job than MS delivering must have games and have been...

I have to disagree here...
Series X shipment is only low because MS choose to use most wafers to make Series S.
If no Series S the Series X should be higher in shipment.

So I don't believe Series S is making MS be close than expected... if no Series S you should have way more Series X on the market and probably the sales (if supply allowed) cloud be just a bit lower than what they have now.

Series S was a big mistake in strategy by MS and they are realizing that now.
They killed Series X supply thinking people will buy Series S.... they worked a big while PS5 was not found in the market but after the PS5 got enough supply the Series S sales fall.

People wants to Series X or PS5... Series S sales were result of consumers not finding any of them to buy.

PS. Even with Series S strategy MS failed to ship more units than the supply constrained PS5 since launch.

Xbox peeked in Japan ( and the rest of the world) with the 360. It's been downhill ever since.

It peaked because 60% of those consoles got Rod and 60% of those fixed got rod again and all broken consoles which were replace they counted as sold.

It wasn't a mistake at all. The hardcore will always buy the more expensive consoles but the casuals will not. They'll just pick one (if that) and move on. Having a cheaper $300 Series S which will eventually be $200 was a brilliant move. I will never understand why people believe that only have a $500 console after a horrible Xbox One generation going against a juggernaut in PlayStation and Nintendo would have a better move especially when they couldn't produce and manufacture Series X as much or as fast as Series S.

Microsoft going with Series S over X is the smarter move until this year because they barely had anything, everything was cross-generation outside of Flight Simulator and when both your competitors are hot and you're ice cold coming off a bad generation, giving consumers a cheaper option to just get into the platform and eco-system was always the correct decision.

Then post the source along with your BS bogus statements.

BTW I'm still waiting for you to post some of the obvious visual glitches and issues you saw in the Starfield trailer as well. Yet another case of a drive-by with nothing to back it up.

So you don't have any source for your bogus claims ? Not a single one ?

Got it.

Not surprising at all.

Ok, clearly you're out of your element, said some BS and thought no one will challenge you for it and are now panicking.

That's ok. I'll spell it out for you.

No. Replacement units under warranty are not counted as new sales.

Remember that for future please before embarrassing yourself again, young one.

Lowest estimate for RROD is around 24%, highest is 55%.

Plenty of people got it out of warranty (especially in countries where warranties are 1 year or lower) and bought a replacement.

As for Starfield, if you can't see the jitter and low FPS animations for enemies...

2:20, those PS3 era smoke effects at very low frame rate are delicious.

2:28, frame skip as the door opens (game skips frames all over, but that one is very obvious)

4:40, enemy dying animation at half framerate

4:48, physics going bonkers and the explosion itself just disappearing super quick

8:10, mythical cross eyed woman

Framerate was shaky at best overall as well.

Sure. It's called common sense.

Nice deflect but that's not what anyone is talking about.

Your boy is saying MS counted replacements as new sales, which I'm sure you also know is BS.

None of that qualifies as "at that point, game was broken completely. we saw alphas in better shape."

hei, you looked at the mirror and started projecting to others again.

 

[Zzero]

what an insult to japanese consumers, right when the yen is doing rather poorly, too.

they were just giving $50 rebate coupons away with the series S, too.

Series S is just really undesirable. everyone knows it's a gimped sub-system.

The yen doing poorly is actually good here, it means that comparetively the price isn't going up as much. Well, it means that for people with diversified currency holdings anyway, lol. Yeah, it's not the news anyone wants to hear but this is what inflation looks like.

hei, you looked at the mirror and started projecting to others again.

If I had a nickle for every time I counted a replaced unit as sold, I'd have exactly 0 nickle. The same as your credibility

Alright that's my extent of contribution to your usual lies.

Remember kids, always have sources to back up your claims.
