Unprecedented compared to what? There was no demand for the X-Box One S beforehand, because it didn't exist - is that what they're referring to? Or is he saying unprecedented compared to regular XBox One's?
I was thinking the exact the same thing lol
Last time Greenberg stated "Strong pre-orders for Quantum Break, Could be a Mega Hit". It was a few days before launch.
I don't believe this man anymore, but it will be interesting to see how well Xbox One S will sell in the next NPD Report.
Is there even a bundle which comes with Kinect anymore? Or is that saga fully over now?
Well it requires a super expensive addition nobody is going to buy, kinect is dead, maybe for the better, the games where not that great for it :(
S Doesn't have the port for Kinect anyway.
Wait what Archer? you can't be serious?
Holy shit you're right, €39.99 from the MS store for the USB adapter for the thing, the Kinect has returned to how it was with the original X360, no longer natively part of the system.
Aside from existing non-S inventory, bundled Kinects have gone the way of the dodo. (Sadly, if you ask me, I'm plugging Kinects into my S-units.)
This bundle was expected, hopefully more limited edition bundles are announced.
So, give us some sales numbers then, MS.
This bundle will sell well in Europe!
Yup! Europe loves FIFA.
Yeah but they mainly love it on ps4.
Fifa 16 Ps4 - 6m
Fifa 16 X1 - 2m
And that's with Xbox having fifa bundles.
^ PS4 also had fifa 16 bundles.
Congrats MS! The Xbox One is a great console and more gamers getting on board is great for the industry!
Wow haven't heard from Arron in quite some time. I remember during the 360 years he was always saying something lol
Based on the quote, sales in Europe and other regions have seen a boost.

If that's how they feel then lesson learned is to design something attractive from the start.
The worst talking head in the history of this industry. How he has been able to keep his job is a mystery that can be lumped together with with: What happens inside a black hole? And what was reality before the big bang? I'd rather read about Alison Rapp's opinions on child molesters. At least she's honest.
