Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Can Xbox One Stay Above 100k Every Week From Now On? (In 2014)

justiceiro on 20 September 2014

I can swear that i saw a thread exactly like that 3 months ago, but talking about Wiiu.

And even the first post was saying the same thing: will drop below next week.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

It will be over 100k next week if it is lucky, expect to go under after that

From Mid October i think it can. Not so sure about the next few weeks till then

but Sunset Overdrive, COD, Assassins Creed and some others should boost it



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Nope. Its only above ot because of the tier 2 countries stocking up stores and destiny hype train. I expect it to go back to usual values soon and the usual christmas boost later. 

The easy way to tell is because the X1 cant sell 100k with only the US, unless its an exceptional circunstance. I dont expect the X1's situation to change in europe.

Mid-October onwards, sure.

I just don't expect it to stay above 100k next week.

I think so! Every week in September has more countries/high profile games.

October has:

Sunset overdrive/Bundle I Hope it's a great game and it sells well. But expecting this type of new IP to drive hardware sales is asking a bit much IMO.

Fifa/bundle - PS owns FIFA even when Xbox owns the advertising for FIFA. It'll be Maddenx2 where MS does all the advertising and PS gets most of the sales. Also being cross gen it offers little real incentive to upgrade. It's stronghold territories are all by far and away PLaystationnation so don't expect Fifa bundles to get much traction. However because it is a big franchise it will give a natural boost to both new gen consoles. On it's own it won't put Xb one above 100K.

Forza horizon 2 boost - A spin off franchise that's cross gen? Maybe but not likely much of a boost.

Higher natural baseline because of the countries - +3-5K/week will help, but it won;t help much.

China - delayed until ??? probably Nov/Dec so basically it will do nothing for the Spet-Oct period

Project Spark - Really? I think most gamers want to play games not make them. The make your own game thing is pretty over-hyped as a selling point.

NBA - What now? Another cross gen multiplat which is not really a major seller, just a solid annual sports franchise.

Just Dance - because Kinect is so wildly popular this gen?

Other Smaller games - by definition they will do nothing directly to improve sales.

November and December is a no brainer...

Maybe, I don't think so. This week probably in the 90s, possibly back over 100K from then on though. So you are almost right.
