The excitement I had for new powerful hardware apparently wasn't shared. PubG did well on the console, but I'm not sure how close it got to the 10 million. The 4K points I made had little to no impact on sales. Sales jumped for a little bit, but overall sales remained the same for 2018 that were shown in 2017. I was clearly wrong about closing the gap in the US sales against PS4.

This I believe is the worst sales prediction I've made on here, and hopefully I learned something about letting my enthusiasm affect my judgement.

I'm not scared to try any type of food, I can take my crow prepared anyway it's served.

You are a big man for bumping this up.  Mad props.

I will say, that a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that power = sales, when in reality the opposite is usually true.  I mean if you could have the power of XB1X at the same price as a vanilla XB1, then yeah people would want it.  But power always makes the price increase.  Most gamers prefer the hardware to be cheaper.

On the other hand XB1 hardware sales were up for most of 2018.  I bet PubG contributed to that.

I would think the Xbox One X has done more to stimulate console sales than PUBG. Bear in mind PUBG did well on X1 because its already a popular platform for competitive shooters and that's happening on PS4 now.

I think there is an audience out there that wants the most powerful console that also happens to have a strong support, perhaps they bought the X1X. There were exisiting X1 users that upgraded like myself. So even if the X1X is a fraction of overall X1 sales, I think its doing well enough to give a boost.
