US and UK domination so far, places where Xbox normally sells better. I guess it's true that some people vote with their wallets

Were you saying that last statement when the Wii was dominating last gen?

xHeavYx3726d ago

You are seriously bringing the Wii to the discussion? http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Eonjay3726d ago

I think Microsoft needs to address Europe more seriously. They are getting outsold decisively over in the UK. I think it has a lot to do with the lack of media support that is built into the 80 pound premium. No One Guide in Europe and non compliance to the 50Hz signal makes the media enhancements in the Xbox One utterly useless and I don't think people are going to spend money on it.

mhunterjr3726d ago

Yeah it's unbelievable to me that they were so unprepared for the launch over there.

It's not the price that gets me. It's that fact that they are expecting people to pay that price when key features are unavailable/dysfunctional at launch.

urwifeminder3726d ago

Poor sales for usa they must be doing it tough over there keep up the good work MS.

georgenancy3726d ago

'poor sales' from sony="keep up the good work MS"

your comment makes zero sense

urwifeminder3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

All round poor sales but keep up the great work MS since when did making sense on this site start to matter .

amiga-man3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

I think the PS4 outselling it's competitor almost 2:1 is pretty impressive myself especially in the UK, if that is happening here just imagine the numbers the PS4 will be doing in the rest of Europe

urwifeminder3726d ago

Never mentioned sony wow you must have that company on the brain.

Ricegum3726d ago

Am I reading these figures wrong? Because to me being outsold nearly 2:1 is anything but "great work" for MS.

georgenancy, I was thinking the same thing.

urwifeminder
You replying to me or George you make no sense,@ urwifeminder I was thinking the same thing.

I think the fact I put georgenacy first should have been enough of a clue

urwifeminder3726d ago

You replying to me or George you make no sense,@ urwifeminder I was thinking the same thing.

urwifeminder3726d ago

Nothing but thanks for the concern I wish more gamers had the same compassion for others that you seem to bring to the table, I have had slight back pain but am feeling lots better now.

amiga-man3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

WeAreLegion, at least urwifeminder is out of bubbles, he seems to have totally lost it.

the poor sod is probably rocking back and forth in a dark corner as we speak

MRMagoo1233726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

urwifemender has lost the plot, he seems to be 2 snags short of a bbq or a stubbie short of a 6 pack. I think the fact xbone isnt going to make some magic come back has taken him over the edge.

NeloAnjelo3726d ago

2:1 Sales in the UK and Europe. 1:1 in NA.

I guess even the Machinima payments didn't help.

Ra30303726d ago

Wow Xbox One is only at 3.3 million sold at the end of Jan. Didn't microsoft report it's Dec. ending sales at 3.2 million sold? I'm pretty sure they did. Let me guess they need to revise that as "shipped" units not sold units. Wow. No matter, not a good month for X1. This would explain all the leaks they leaked. I think they'll need to do a lot more of something cause that ship has holes and is taking on water. They need help. Sony didn't have a great month of sales but they have Japan coming up and little to no worries nor do they need to be saved. What's going to save X1? Titanfall is really regretting the deal they made with the Devil now. Lol

shinoff218337d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno37d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno37d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX56d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
