Forums - Sales Discussion - Xbox sales seem way too low, 5:1 is crazy.

Well deserved. Like the cheerleading squad that hopes to win the nationals doing jumping-jacks to the soundtrack of Flashdance, the placement MS finds itself in is not unexpected. Also, the truth bending. The lies. The excuses. All the negative shit that surrounds the brand. Terrible PR and advertising tactics that have persisted for years. People pick up on this stuff. Eventually.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Xbox One is down by very much so far this year. Maybe 150K or so which is pretty much in line with the drop it saw last year.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Its all about perspective. In the grand scheme of things, its selling fine. Could be doing better, but could be doing a hell of alot worse. The PS4 is selling like crazy though so its makes it seem like the Xbox one is doing poorly.

That isn't MS's mindset, that's the mindset you've brainwashed yourself to believe.

I had predicted that XB1 would not cross 40 million lifetime, and with the way sales have crashed this year, it seems I'll be proven right.

That's probably your wet dream.

He's right. In Europe 90% of Xbox One tv apps were not available. But yeah no one watches nfl or cnn here. :)

No, he isn't right, just because you say it over and over isn't going to make it any more factual.

Correction. It actually looks like the Xbox One has been up every month so far this year. Sales are still pretty weak, but the first half of the year always sucks for Xbox.

When it doubt... there's always cuphead to be excited for I guess. That is the one piece of software on the platform I'm hoping gets a ps4 or switch release, but I really can't see it happening.

It looks good, but its a run & gunner platformer... not everyones cup of tea.

Anyways it doesnt look very demanding, so if you have a PC you could always get the steam version.
