Of course it had a stronger start, but the trajectory is very similar. It will take another 4-6 weeks before most Chartz people start to see this more consistantly. Just in time for Titanfall to obscure the #'s!!! If Titanfall doesn't blow up and stay that way, there will be a lot more people agreeeing with me by June. |
I am one of the few people that agree with you on this. I think a lot of people here are fans of the XBox One and will look at the positives of the launch (which there were certainly many), but will ignore any negative trends. One thing you have to consider when comparing trends of these three consoles, is that the demand for the PS4 is still far above the supply. If you look on the top 5 online retailers that sell the PS4, it's out of stock on each one. The XBox One is in stock on all of these same sites. The XOne will certainly outsell the Wii U, but it's going to take some serious changes to turn it into an 80M seller. I predict it will land in the 50M range. The next few months are going to be really telling. It's just hard to justify a device that's more expensive, and under-powered compared to its biggest competitor. I'm a huge microsoft fan (yes they exist). I own only windows computers, have owned 2 windows phones, 2 zunes, etc... But I just can't justify the XBox One. It just doesn't have enough positives. Maybe if they dropped the Kinect, kept voice control via a controller mic, and dropped the price by $50 (to $350 w/o kinect) I would jump onboard.
And everyone needs to stop making the argument about the XOne not being available in all markets. It's not going to sell well in Japan, period. So count that market out.
