Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you consider Xbox One a Failure?

Zekkyou on 23 June 2017

It failed to be what MS wanted, but it still managed to be relatively successful in spite of that. What that will mean for Xbox long-term if the X1X doesn't take off remains to be seen, but overall i wouldn't personally consider a failure in the truest sense.

Well... it's not a complete failure. It is/was ahead of the 360 since launch. Of course, that will change when we reach the Kinect years, unless the Scorpio manages to revive it. But the major problem is that MS stopped making any and all attempts to compete in first party games. At the same time, almost every Xbox franchise has been selling pretty bad (Halo 5, GoW, Rare...). But it's still making profit and Xbox Live is always growing, plus stuff like EA Access and OG Xbox/360 BC is making them easy money with no risk.

So it's inbetween success and failure.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

In terms of expectations, yes.

I don't. It's doing fine and there is a lot of hype for the Xbox X

It's a success in North America and the UK.

It's a horrible failure everywhere else.

What about AU, NZ and South America? 

Ok let's call the UK Commonwealth and it's former colonies

It's not a failure... the company is making money and people are enjoying their time with it. One X is what they should have released in 2013 but that'll be in the past soon.

It is doing very well in Brazil, especially because it is the cheapest console here. Also, games are generally cheaper on XOne and MS support is good.

Back to the topic, I don't think it is a failure. It is a solid console, has some nice features like EA Access, Game Pass and Play Anywhere, good third party support, but not many AAA exclusives (considering most are also on PC). Saleswise, XOne is permorming well and will probably do over 50m by the end of this generation, which is a good number in my opinion.
