OT:  No the X1 is still ahead of the 360 at this point.


That doesn't take much dude. This gen is soooo old that people are ready to move on and upgrade. The WW sales of the XB1 are far behind where they should be if you extrapolate from NA. Additionally, if you compare it to a PS4 based extrapolation the XB1 is NOT doing as well as you think and you are just drinking Microsoft's Kool aid.

XBO is doing fine, the ps4 is doing very fine.  It does take A LOT to still be ahead of the 360's sales in the same lifespan.   Now stahp trolling. 

 

This is good stuff is coming to PC.  Consoles are best for sports games and CoD.  About it.

If you extrapolate from NA, the Xbox 1 is ahead of 360 by 50% and PS3 by 80%....

Additionally if you compare Sonys fiscal year to Microsofts fiscal year, Sony will be out of cash by 2019 and MS will be $ 120 billion richer...they really can just wait it out.


Thats not extrapolation ... please look up the term; you are doing a direct comparison. The XB1 is selling faster than the 360 because:
1.) The OG xb was released just 4 years prior.
2.) The PS2 was incredibly popular and people didn't rush to upgrade
3.) The price was pretty heavy.

The XB1 was launched 8 years after the 360. Incase you cannot see the point, thats DOUBLE the generation time.

As for your financial mud slinging... cool story bro. A company that has roots in everything and doesn't seem to want to keep losing money on the XB division is clearly happier with its product than a company that is rebranding EVERYTHING into its successful console line right?

It does NOT take alot to beat the 360 at the same time frame. The 360 took a while to heat up, and the XB1 is losing WW market share.

Do you have proof for your stupid statement of it not taking any effort at all to surpass the 360s sales in the same time frame?  The console is still selling well and is looking to sell like crazy over the holidays again.  What is your point?  You have none atm.

The XB1 is selling under 10M a year. The 360 averaged 10M a year, and lasted 8 years. 

The XB1 is not selling bad everywhere... its got a decent market share in NA. However, WW its struggling hard.

Nope.

I can't say for where Nintendo will be next decade, but when Sony spends $380m on Porting Playstations exclusives to Samsung TV's and NOT on another  Spider-Man film, I know who's looking to abandon ship on hardware.

PSVita 2? Next-gen Cell Processor? Sony VAIO? Where you at?

You asked for proof? Reread your own posts maybe?

 

Anyways, xb1 is not doing as strong as MS tries to spin it all things considered.

Prove it? You have 90 minutes.

Especially considering this was addressed a week ago.

I love that we're selling more Xbox Ones than we did 360
