Microsoft Hopes Robots Can Save the Xbox One

摘要

Sales of Microsoft's new game console, the Xbox One, started strong with some 3 million sold around the world from its Nov. 22 launch to the new year. Since then, though, the consoles have piled up on store shelves. Researcher NPD Group estimates that Sony's PlayStation 4, introduced on Nov. 15, outsold the Xbox One in January by at least a 2-to-i margin in the U.S. And on March 4, Sony announced that the PlayStation 4 has sold 6 million system; and 13.7 million games, including 2.1 million copies of Killzone: Shadow Fall, an exclusive to the PlayStation. Console makers that log big monthly sales typically report them; Microsoft hasn't so far in 2014.
