Things were never bad for the Xbox One and things aren't bad now.

These gaming websites just like to blow things out of proportion to get hits. The Xbox One is selling well and is doing just fine.

What? Its selling extremely bad right now. About 50k a week is terrible and is not even close to the 360 in its first year. If it hadn't had such a strong launch then it would be a disaster right now because its YTD in 2014 is very bad, less than PS3

Three games. A 3rd party game that will sell well for all systems, a dying franchise, and a game the hasn't been announced yet. If that's that best you can do, I'd be scared for the xbox one's future.

And unanounced exclusives. Do you really think Microsoft would reveal the entire Xbox One line-up for then next 6 years in the first year.

And you think Sony doesn't do the same? Again, all of your arguments are rather narrow minded. Everything that you say will happen with MS will also happen with Sony.

The biggest franshises, for both systems, will come in time. You only look at it from a MS fan perspective, and you totally reject the notion that Sony too has things planned and coming for the PS4. -__-

Exactly, in fact Sony is witholding a lot more than MS right now. The situation will only get worse for Xbox One

'Doing just fine' isnt enough to somehow make up for the massive gap in sales in Europe and japan. 

What major factor does the Xbox One have, that the PS4 doesnt have, that will suddenly turn the tide?

So, what you're saying is you get our news from the National Enquirer?  Because literally everything you just said is a lie.

News travels faster than anything on the net, and SSM, ND and PD aren't 'closed down'.

He is joking man... your sarcasmeter is off by a lot.

It's not my fault, nobody puts in any goddamn punctuation of ANY kind to indicate sarcasm!!! Gah!  A smiley, a /s anything.  With all the shit talking on this site, you can't blame me for taking words at face value :)


Yes, some time is hard to know if people are joking or are that dense =]

Selling 73k in May NPD must have been terrific globally in USA.

Games sell Gaming Consoles.

Many people I know are holding out getting an Xbox One because of price, Games and I even a console redesign.

Many people who want the Xbox One don't see a reason to get one at the moment.

Games sell Gaming Consoles. 

There are 3 big games that many Xbox Fans are waiting for before they purchase an Xbox One.

A true next-gen call of duty game, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Halo 5: Guardians, and a new Gears of War.

The first of these games will launch this holiday season with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Microsoft went out of their way to make sure there is a Call of Duty bundle for this call of duty game, showing how important Microsoft

thinks this game is for the sales of the Xbox One.

So far only the Xbox One version is being showed. A true next-gen Call of Duty Game is what Millions of Xbox fans are waiting for

to purchase an Xbox One, so I expect a dramatic rise in Xbox One Console sales upon release and the months after release of this game.

I expect with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare to help Xbox One Outsell the Playstation 4 this Holiday season in (America), depite the 

fact that the game is also coming to the Playstation 4.

Halo 5: Guardians is the next major game millions of Xbox fans are waiting for before they purchase an Xbox One. This game will be released

Holiday 2015, another game which I believe will help Xbox One outsell the Playstation 4 during the holidays in America.

A new Gears of War is another game millions of Xbox fans are waiting before they purchase and Xbox One. This game will be released Holiday

2016, another game which will help Xbox One Outsell the Playstation 4 during the Holidays in America.

Now I realize that many of these Xbox gamers are fans of all three games. But I believe these 3 games will help boost Xbox One sale during

the holidays and Ibelieve will these 3 games will help Xbox One outsell Playstation 4 during those holiday periods.

Now there are other variables that can stop this from happenning, Sony can and will most likely drop the price of the Playstation 4 by

holiday 2015 and Holiday 2016, but so can Microsoft with the Xbox One.

Many people feel there is no way Xbox One can catch the Playstation 4 in consoles sold. But I feel with these 3 games alone , not Including

many other exclusive anounced and unanounced games like RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER, I believe Microsoft have even more big name

franchises they will try to secure to help boost Xbox One sales. There are rumors of the games such as the next RESIDENT EVIL being a

timed Exclusive.

And don't forget Microsoft is spending over a billion dollars this generation to secure Exclusive games.

http://www.dailytech.com/Microsoft+Spends+1+Billion+on+Exclusive+Xbox+One+Games/article31656.htm

I believe for the next 3 holiday seasons and beyond, Xbox one will outsell the Playstation 4 in America

enabling the Xbox One to at least catch the Playstation 4 in Worldwide Sales by holiday 2016.

I also believe Playstation 4 Sales will slow next year, while Xbox One Sales will remain steady, Just my opinion!

Time will tell, but these are just some of my thoughts.

 

Don't know exactly if I have to laugh or cry at your Thread.

No further words.

A few weeks of lower than usual sales doesn't spell doom for a gaming console. Sales can pick up and the situation can change.

Why does it take 350 posts to just say "no"? This thread doesn't deserve the post count it's getting. PS fans in particular should just set this thread to ignore. It's as if PS fans think that if every bit of the illogical isn't deconstructed somehow the prediction might actually come true.

Just leave the deluded to their delusions and create and contribute to threads that are actually grounded in reason and coherence. Don't perpetuate threads created in ignorance and wishful (or magical) thinking.

I just came back into this thread to say this. I won't be back. Well I might come in to have a stealth laugh but I won't be posting again.

Part of the problem is I've only just started associating folks with their platforms of choice, so unless it's like, TheDrill, I'm clueless hah.

I do that for a long time to try and remember if the person is generally a fanboy or hater of a specific console to better differentiate trolling and joking and people that altough defend a system are fairly reasonable.
