Microsoft attributes the increase in sales to “the new $399 offering” and “The amazing lineup of games announced during E3.” Interestingly, the lack of Kinect is never directly mentioned. It has become somewhat of a taboo in Microsoft’s official communication, but that’s marketing for you.
Looks like there’s still room for pitched competition this year, which is always a good thing. Tomorrow we’ll know if the Xbox One managed to overtake its arch-rival, at least for June. My money is on a very close result, one way or another.
