Although XB1 had a solid lead, it's for the wrong reasons. It's not because the XB1s did that awesome, it's mostly because the PS4 sales were quite poor.

What did MP: Federation Force sell?



Thought the Xbox one slim sales were skewed, wasn't only the Xbox one S 2TB edition released and sold out? Thought the Xbox one slim 1TB and 500GB still have to release this month?

The 2TB released August 2nd, the 500GB and 1TB released August 23rd.



^^^ The 2T model only sold out in the UK it's still available in the US. The 500GBHalo/1T Madden bundles already release on the 23rd of August. However if you are referring to a slim release in September those are the FIFA 17 500GB/1T bundles that are set to release on the 22nd in the UK.

So release of the XboxOne S and only a 114k lead? Not looking too good going into the holidays.

They're decent numbers. Not as great as the 360's were when its own slimline model came out, but still good. The real test will be the coming months. The 360's best sales period was the 22 months from June 2010 to March 2012. If the XBO cannot sustain a baseline in 2017 stronger than its previous baseline, then there's a reason to worry. At minimum, I think the XBO needs to consistently sell at least 25% more units throughout the Jan.-Aug. period for the XBO S to have been considered a success. If YoY growth is modest, and especially if it starts to taper off by mid-year to where sales are flat YoY, the the XBO S can probably be said to have only kept sales stable, and that's not what I'd call "successful" for a slimline model.

I Wonder if Microsoft will release some Xbox One numbers after the release of Scorpio.

The 360 Fat models also recieved a price drop in June 2010 and those helped June 2010 perform better than May 2010 more so than the S did. August 2016 is different since the fat models got a price drop 2 months earlier. It does look like the XB1S performed similarly to the 360S since it the XB1S did at least 150k with a staggered release between diffrent models compared to the 180.7k the 360S did in 3 weeks. But yes, the upcoming months are crucial for the S to see if it increases sales or mearly halts the slow down of sales.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
