So I think we can all agree X1 is a disaster like no other and MS has no business in the home console arena. Maybe? Maybe not?

So VG Chartz has it at 28 million, but how many does it need to sell to be worthwhile endeavor?

However many is needed for them to profit.



Nogamez on 02 February 2017

Well profit wise has xbox ever been successful? I thought it generally went into to the red on all 3 consoles. I could be wrong though. In answer though I suppose enough units combined with software to make a decent worthwhile profit

 

Also are you talking money success or like brand success?



Jranation on 02 February 2017

I say 40-50. Half of 360!

Xbox One lifetime sales are gonna end up over 50m.
Any console that sells that much is a success imo.

Not a success? Wii U levels, once your down to the 10-15m range and makeing a loss on it.
Its library is small and it maybe hurt brand name.

Xbox One isnt that bad, and alot of their issues were off their own makeing.
MS just need to not be arrogant with the next Xbox they make, and it ll be doing fine again.

According to some people, more than the Wii U.
According to some other people, more than the PS4.

I'll take the easy way out and say however much it takes to sell 500 million pieces of software.

Well in my eyes, if it sells between 45-55 mill it'll be a success, but I see it doing better than even that.



m_csquare on 02 February 2017

More than ps4.

Depends on what the goal was and if it reaches it.
