Am I being pessimistic (or just realistic?) if I say I dont think xbox 1 will go over 20mil by end of this year?

I also dont think xbox1 has the holidays season in the bag..... PS4 hasnt had a price cut YET.....
its going to happend this year (before the holiday season) and its going to hurt xbox sales.

Sadly you're right, there is a console that will sell like crazy with a price drop despite it having an incredibly mediocre line-up. This gen is so depressing!

If we look at sales right now, for this month:

#4 on amazon ;  PS4

#51 on amazon; Xbox1 (ass creed bundle)

 

Its been like this most of this month, a HUGE gap amazon chart #'s.

Bigger than I remember seeing before. 

 

We could have a month where NPD is like (guessing from amazon chart numbers):

PS4 = 400,000+ sales

Xb1 = 200,000+ sales

 

If Xbox 1 is to sell 20+ million (by end of year), it needs to not just gamble it all on holidays.

Because Sony could do a 100$ price cut and ruin that holiday sales spike XB1 had last year.

 

I hope Halo 5 does well. Xbox could use a win.

PS4 doesnt have games, everyone knows that :p

Thats why when I look at threads under hot forum topics I can find a gem like this one:

PS4: 2015 - the perfect year for RPG fans (A list of games)

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=200425&page=1#

 

Apparently the RPG selection isnt Mediocre this year, its good year or so claims the op of the thread.

are you trying to say halo 12 and forza 10 makes up for no games for 10 out of the 12 months of the year? and didn't sony just release the best game of the generation on the ps4?

By April MS will have 3 owned IPs released in Q1-2, including a game of the generation.

And they will continue strong coming Q3-4. Hopefully you guys will have GT Prologue 12 to play something.

Always the fanboy argument - "M$ is only forza and haloezz! They has no gaemzz!" 

I'm not going to start a console war here but I will say that Bloodborne is in no way the game of the generation. That would go to a game that's actually good, like MK8 or Sunset Overdrive. And I will also say that Sony consoles are consistently the worst in the generation but for some bizarre reason sell the most. 

Please don't warn/ban me for 'flaming' mods, I was only answering his point.

It's going to be a great year in both games and sales for XB1
