    Default Microsoft's Xbox: X marks the spot.

    US NPD HW - Xbox hardware unit and dollar sales in March 2022 set new all-time March highs for the platform. Previous Xbox bests were set in March 2011 (units) and March 2014 (dollars). Matt Piscatella https://mobile.twitter.com/MatPiscat...npd-march-2022

    But I thought there was a chip shortage?

    "Microsoft might have invested in priority access to microchips during global shortage

    "Having more units available has help Microsoft close the sales gap between their flagship console and its top rival, the Sony PS5. According to sales data from VGChartz, the PS5 sold 76% more units than Microsoft’s next-gen console from Jan. 1 – Feb. 19 of last year.

    But during this same period in 2022 following the rumored restock thanks to chip priority, the numbers are much closer. Between Jan. 1 – Feb. 19 of this year, the PS5 sold just 9.3% more units."

    Apparently Microsoft isn't done buying stuff yet. Gotta keep feeding Gamepass.

    Also the new console seems to be outperforming the Xbox 360 at this point. High marketing muck a muck Aaron Greenberg took to Twitter to crow about it. I guess passing for those extra chips really worked out.https://mobile.twitter.com/aarongree...new-records%2F

    Redfall and Starfield are...DELAYED to 2023! Can they still call that show an Xbox showcase if they have nothing to show?

    X-Box has always been a company that has struggled to either get releases out or releasing games that just aren't good. The last generation illustrated that. This company could buy Bethesda and Activision and still be a colossal screw up releasing games or pushing them to do games no one gives a f-ck for.
