Microsoft has announced that the Xbox One has sold 2 million units in its 18 days since launch. If you are wondering how the PlayStation 4 is doing? They've sold 2.1 million units in their 3 weeks since launch. Honestly it's neck and neck and both manufacturers are selling everything they can at this point. There's still a lot of demand.
Wear some new flair for both your in game Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition avatar, as well as on your Xbox dashboard to show off your inner Minecraft fanboy (releasing soon!).
When I fired up my 360 this morning I noticed there was a new dashboard update. After a quick jump to Major Nelson's blog, apparently this was to fix some color issues as well as add performance improvements. But Major Nelson is a damn, diry liar. It also changed up the game marketplace, something we've seen complained about before.
Nathan Fouts of Mommy's Best Games, makers of Explosionade and Shoot 1UP, is a bit disgruntled with Microsoft. Why you ask? The new dashboard has way too many ads. We concur. But that's not what really makes Nathan mad, no, it's the fact it's almost impossible to find Xbox Live Indie games buried on the marketplace. So what did he do? He turned it into a game...within a game. Enter Game Type.
"Let me sell you something." That's the only phrase I can think of when I see the new Xbox 360 Dashboard, which is out now on your console via a free update. The updated dashboard replaces the "New Xbox Experience" design which came out almost 3 years ago. The latest iteration puts the dashboard in line with a new design philosophy at Microsoft brought on by Windows Phone 7 called "Metro" - square tiles that bubble up information to the user in a simple and clean design. There's one problem with the implementation on the Xbox 360 though - it's anything but clean.
The fall Xbox 360 dashboard update is coming very soon. Tuesday, December 6 to be exact! The most dramatic update so far, it utilizes the tile-based Metro UI made popular on Microsoft's Windows Phone platform. But that's just the tip of the iceberg...
The Xbox.com website has been updated ahead of the new dashboard launch (which just went out to preview members). With the update comes a new host of social features, designed to help Xbox gamers find other players looking to play the same games you are. Need a co-op partner for Modern Warfare 3? No problem.
That fancy metro UI dashboard for your Xbox 360 can be all yours before anyone else if you want. All you need to do is sacrifice a goat, eat three lemons without making a sour face, and walk across some hot coals with your feet covered in beef jerky.
