Looks to me like the Switch is doing slightly better.

cochise3132020d ago

basically xbox being demolished. Let's see if they can bounce back like Nintendo did with the switch.

TheKingKratos2020d ago

I would never buy xbox ... there is no value whatsoever with it for me

It deserve to lose badly and it will lose some more next gen

Donnie812020d ago

Well scarlet is gonna be the definitive next generation system with more power and a great stock of exclusives . You will have to change your name to king master chief.

TheKingKratos2020d ago

Donnie

Lol what the F?!

Who said scarlet is gonna be that and who said it's more powerful
and why would i care about xbox games that i don't like and they are not even exclusives

In your dreams maybe

UltraNova2020d ago

I hope Scarlett is more powerful than the ps5 so it will be even more fun when PlayStation destroys it with game after game after game.

Donnie812020d ago

King master chief you better watch the whole Xbox has no exclusives because it’s on pc argument because I promise you PlayStation games are coming to pc. Let me guess though god of war is still an exclusive even though I can play it via psnow on my pc.

TheKingKratos2020d ago (Edited 2020d ago )

Donnie81

Let me guess you are 5 ?

First off, i don't like Halo or gears and not because they used to be xbox games before they went multiplat but because i don't like them at all and that it
and yes God of war is exclusive because unlike Xbox games you only stream it from Ps4 console through playstation service and you can't own them or download them on pc and btw GOW will be gone after a month from that service so you can't even try to bring that up because that was a complete fail on your part and you can give me empty promises about playstation games coming to pc but you are dreaming

2nd, you are a complete moron if you think i like God of war because it's exclusive... i love gow because it's incredible game and that's it
So go find a cornor and cry there with your crappy system with nothing to make it worth a damn.

@thexmanone

And i don't care.

Donnie812019d ago

I like god of war because it’s a great game. Lol I verbally trashed u and u had to resort to name calling. Just take the l

TheKingKratos2019d ago (Edited 2019d ago )

Lol You only made yourself look like a trash not the other way around

The only loser here is you ... but you live in your own sad bubble anyway

rainslacker2019d ago

Donnie must work for Sony if he can promise that PS games will start coming to PC. Thanks Donnie!!! Now more people can enjoy the games. Good guy Donnie...the elusive unknown Exec from Sony who really pulls all the strings.

They have tripled the number of first-party studios, so they appear to be making more of an effort for next generation than they did for the Xbox One.

UltraNova2019d ago

Appearances can be deceiving.

MasterCornholio2020d ago

Dang im really happy with what the Switch and PS4 are doing. XBOX needs to do much better though.

trunkswd2020d ago

Looks like Microsoft has given up on this generation and is focused on making sure Xbox Scarlett has more (consoles) exclusives than the Xbox One did.

MasterCornholio2020d ago (Edited 2020d ago )

Microsoft needs to make sure that Scarlett is more successful than the Xbox One. If it does worse than that would create an even more difficult situation for them.

trunkswd2020d ago

@MasterCornholio I agree the Scarlett needs to be more of a success than the Xbox One. Halo Infinite has a launch title is similar to what Nintendo did with Breath of the Wild having it on both generations. I do expect the next Forza to be cross-gen and be a launch title for the Scarlett. Microsoft needs to have more heavy hitters after launch than the Xbox One did. If I remember correctly the Xbox One had Titanfall, yearly Forza and Halo MCC in in 2014.

MasterCornholio2020d ago

The only issue with Halo is that while it is a big exclusive it doesn't have the impact that it did before. Which means that less people are interested in the franchise than what it was on the 360.

But we will have to wait and see if they can change that with Infinite.

nowitzki20042018d ago

It felt like the same thing at the end of last gen tho. They stopped putting out exclusives late, and we thought they were holding out til "next gen"

Neonridr2020d ago

crazy how fast the Switch caught up to the XB1. MS execs must want some blood here. Scarlett better hit the ground running or next gen will already be over for them.

Probably figuring out where to place the goalposts before commenting.

He never goes into sales or anything that Xbox is doing bad in.

badz1497h ago

Buh buh buh...Muh Space Marine Remastered..

I guess he will say something like that haha

darthv7211h ago

"XS Sales Down Just 2% YoY".... they are turning it around boys... hold the line!!!!
/s

Eonjay11h ago

April was actually pretty good then for Xbox. I had expected this as there was a run on the Series X pre price boost. I would expect May to be down by more but revenue might actually hold due to the price hike.

badz1497h ago

It just means that last year was already a significantly insignificant year for xbox

Scissorman11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

down 2% from an already low number is still bad. and if we look a little closer, 140K of those sales were from US alone, meaning that a meager 65K sold to the rest of the global market. outside of the US, xbox is a dead brand. and it is holding on by a string in its strongest territory. this is why MS had to go multiplatform. low xboxes sales means fewer gamepass subscriptions, which means you can't afford to put hundred million dollar budget games on the service anymore.

jznrpg9h ago

Scalpers were buying them the day they announced price hikes

Eonjay11h ago

For the Switch to be down 37% with the same price shows that nearly everyone is just waiting on the Switch 2.

dveio9h ago

I gotta say I didn't expect PS5 sales to be down only 14% year-on-year, thought the decline would be higher.

Interesting:

PS5 being down 382k units compared to PS4's April in 2018 is probably the result of the God of War reboot release in April 2018.

It was even the later half of April, the 20th.

Great exclusives can have a pretty strong impact on hardware sales I guess.

Scissorman9h ago

they can, but PlayStation also enjoys the benefit of being the console of choice for all AAA third-party releases as well. id imagine when GTA6 launches, you are going to see massive PS5 sales along with it.

dveio8h ago

Yeah, I think the month GTA6 will finally get released, we should see a substantial growth in hardware units being sold.

It should, no matter when, be a 1m month in units easily.

BeHunted5h ago

"PS5 being down 382k units compared to PS4's April in 2018 is probably the result of the God of War reboot release in April 2018."

Nah, it's more about the rising costs of the PlayStation subscription and the console price going up. If tariffs increase, I've got a feeling the PS5 Pro could be the first console to break the $1k barrier in the USA.
