Article says MS may halt production so it can work through its current inventory.

Yes but I am missing tags probably bc someone was fucking with my permissions at some point.

So.... exactly as everyone has been saying. X1's aren't selling anywhere near projections/hopes.

Halting production for a little while doesn't mean shutting down the lines though. It was already a given that MS had more production capacity the Xbox One than Sony did for the PS4.

Production doesn't mean anything when you are $100 over the competition's console. Many people have to make a decision with their wallet, and can't pick both, so they go with what is cheaper.

Speaking of, the tag should be 'XB1' and not 'XboxOne.' The long tag looks weird when all the others are short.

What's the saying? Save now, pay later :tiptoe:

Just pointing it out. I own both and spend more of my time on the XB1 for what it's worth.

Lol I was just poking fun about the price points. Also you are a bastard for not playing the ps4 more.

Jeez, Bill. You kinda sound fanboyish there.
Honestly, when I turn on my 360 to play Tiger Woods 14, most of my Xbox friends are playing the Xbox One ... but there's no sugar-coating the fact that the Xbox One has been a disappointment both commercially and critically. I cheer for both consoles to succeed, I will eventually own both, but sugar-coating the Xbox One is getting more difficult by the day.

I own every console on the market today so it's hard for me to be a fanboy. The Xbox One sales have been a little underwhelming but there is plenty of time for it to bounce back. The 360 won the previous generation war and most of those people haven't upgraded yet and MS is still selling a good many 360's. Once they announce (all but a given) the $100 price cut at E3 and package a digital download in with the console, I believe they will be neck and neck with Sony within a few months as the 360 owners have incentive to upgrade.

I'm speaking strictly US and Canada, the Japan numbers for PS3 skew everything and don't mean anything to us-

Xbox 360 - 46.47M
Playstation 3 - 28.43M

You know we're cool, Bill, but you come across as a fanboy where the Xbox One is concerned. Not sure if it's because you're trying to promote the site ... but you just come across as a fanboy.
