We all know Xbox 360 dominated the UK/US last generation. Microsoft really did a great job, compared with the PS2 era. Now, in the new(current) generation, the domination changed.

Above you see the total hardware sells by platform. Perhaps, I'm about to over-react, hey it's still extremely early in the generation. I'm a  bit stunned by the huge deals Microsft is launching in their biggest markets. 

So far, the Xbox One is performing pretty "depressing". Please, remember that I mean with depressing with the results so far. It can always change in the future.

Microsoft sold some pretty impressive amout of hardware. They really made a difference in the last console generation and gave Sony a "wake up" call. Success of the past doesn't give success for the future, never. 

Who agrees that the Xbox is starting to perform pretty "depressing" in the US and UK. With the huge amout of marketing, deals, price cuts the Xbox One is getting (compared with the PS4). 

 

I want honest opions. Do you agree or dis-agree?

I sold mine yesterday, buying ps4 today. XOne and Wii U Doomed, not for how good sony is doing but for how wrong Nintendo and Microsoft played their cards :S



In the UK & USA, ps4 is not outselling xbox one by that much weekly..i would not say they are "bad"..

ps4 is all over europe, xbox one is not.



Praise the One.

"Xone and wii u doomed" <<< lol

It's doing good compared to the majority of console launches in history, it just happens to be up against a console that is doing better and going beyond anyone's expectations. The price cuts are about staying competitive in the race, but it is a stretch to say X1 is doing poorly.

It's just that after the huge success of last generation and titanfall pricecut bundles you at least expect some huge jumps in sells. Or at least leading total sells. It's early and with the E3 everything can change into Sony's or Microsofts favor.

It will be hard for MS to gain more momentum than sony. Sony has done everything right since last year February.

I am not saying xbox one will fail ..but I highly doubt that they will overtake ps4 in the US or UK.. maybe 2 years from now.. when the 1080p drama is blown over and price is offically cut and those great exclusive comes from MS.. Like gears and Halo.. Until then, MS will be taking a back seat like during the ps2 era



Praise the One.

Xbox One in US alone has more HW sold than 360 WW at the same time. Also it took Wii U a year to get to 4 million. Xbox One did that in 4 months while being $200 more. Xbox One is not doomed. Its just not selling what the PS4 is selling.
