Forums - Sales Discussion - Guys, I'm worried about the XBONE

Being serious for a moment, the Wii U isn't doing so hot. I think we can all agree that its first year has been less than stellar. With that said, it's time to point some things out.

XBONE is tracking even worse.

Let's look at European numbers first.

Week Wii U XBONE
2 87,151 82,003
3 64,332 63,565

Keep in mind, this is Europe; the Wii U's worse region. The Wii, PSP, and even Vita sell better than the Wii U over there on a weekly basis. As shown by these conclusive numbers, the XBONE is worse.

 

Now I know you might be saying "it's ok, XBONE only needs America. The rest of the world doesn't matter". Well since you bring it up, let's look at America.

203,659

 

Oh that's not too bad, right? XBONE is doing double to even triple the Wii U.

Think again.

The Wii U so far has done 1,727,014 units in these here United States. What's double that, you might ask? Just 3.45 million. How in the world do you expect XBONE to compete globally with so little sales? Without checking the numbers, everyone knows that the 360 had a much better first year in America and better sales over seas. There go the XBONE's chances of even reaching sales of the worst selling 7th gen home system.

 

I'll leave you with the most shocking and informative comparison I could find. Japanese launch comparisons.

If you couldn't tell, I'm trying to satirize the many many users that keep forgetting right now sales are all about supply. XBONE and PS4 selling 2 million + is great, but it's a very poor indication of anything really. Also the 360 sold 2,737,574 units its first year in America if you wanted to know.

IMO Xbone will do well in the US, but not so well outside. Unless something big happens I say it'll do 50-60 mill lifetime.



Vgchartz numbers are obviously wrong.  Especially the hidden ones that lay beyond the shrouded veil. 



Thats why I got a PS4



I was gonna slap you through my screen, but you made your point very well

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I dont think microsoft cares about your opionion. The xbox one is doing amazing even after the higher price tag. Stop overreacting.



Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?

The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.

The ONLY next gen console to do so. 

All joking aside, I think both consoles are supply constrained. So really, the sales numbers don't really give a true indication of demand in my opinion.

It's a sarcastic thread LOL



Wii U released in more regions and isn't sold out in UK. Xbox One will outsell the U in Europe soon enough



I guess you will have to buy a few more Xbox Ones then! I have some friends that need them if you want to play secret santa.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!
