seems an amazingly low number of tradeins for a top end upgrade. Was expecting much higher, I am sure MS are pretty pleased with 60%+ new buy ratio of this.

You do realize what the stat is? This isn't even an guarantee of completely new owners, but that more than 1/3 of their sales were from people trading their current stuff in. That's not growing your base, but it does mean you have a lot of hardcore fans willing to double dip.

Qft.

This number represents the amount of original Xbox ones being traded toward the slim. Then, there's another percentage of people that didn't trade in, bought the xb1s and simply added another Xbox to their home. Not new owners. The third group would be the percentage of people that have bought the slim without owning an Xbox one prior.

Doesn't the 37% also include people upgrading from other systems. I know they where offering 200 for the ps4.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

I don't know but you just created another group of people.

Uhh, no it doesn't? The number represents the amount of Xbox One S models sold through "trade credit", meaning store credit from any type of console or game traded in, not just original Xbox Ones. Considering that GameStop was offering a $200 credit for a PS4 trade-in, I'm sure at least some percentage of trade-ins came from that as well.

Crazy to see people trading in one console for another that plays the exact same games.

Trade in PS4 and pay money for an XBO S... who would do such a thing?? 
Like I get that XBO has some benfefits over PS4 such as its exclusives (maybe said gamer is a fan of Halo and Gears etc.) but in that case why would they have ever bought a PS4 before the XBO is beyond me.

Maybe they bought 4K TVs and thought PS4 Slim would've taken care of their 4K needs?

Not very suprising, some xbox owners might want to use the 4K capabilities, its also a much better looking console (to most people) and smaller, so yeah, these stats sure make sense!

I would argue with the PS4 slim rumours, that console will see less trade ins but both the Neo and Scorpio should deffenitely see simulair things.
