I think 1/5 is a good number to aim for.

I agree.  

I think the important number is sales of all XB1 consoles.  MS can't be happy to have fallen behind the XB360 pace.

2 million yearly.

Anyway my thoughts for the first year


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 think they went on record and said something like 50,000 this year. Or maybe it was 500,000.

Where'd they say that? Or is this a joke?

Whatever it is, it's sure to reach it. With games like Crackdown 3, and Super Lucky Tale, nothing will stop the most powerful console on earth from beating sales records for 4k devices.

Lol I know this was a joke post but I doubt crackdown 3 or Lucky's tale will move much or any units for the 1X. They will probably flop.

Op: I think it could do 700k this year and 1.5-2 million for a few years after. If MS makes it a cheap way to play 9th gen games could see it doing 5-6million a year if that happens.

It's okay, Sea of Thieves will save the X

1:5 would be satisfying and not unreachable.

I see the term thrown around a lot. But what portion of Xbox One sold needs to be an X for you to consider it a success?

Keep in mind that 1:5 PS4s sold is a Pro, and Sony said it sells a bit above what they expected.

What do Microsoft expect for X? And will it meet their expectations?

Lets say theres another 25m Xbox sales left total.... 29-30m (atm) +25m (more in the future) = total of 54-55m or so.

out of those 25m sold, if 1:5 is a Xbox One X, then that would be a huge accomplishment.

 

If by the "end" of this gen sales, the Xbox One X has done around 5m total, that would be a big success, imo.

I'd say that 1/5 would be successful. It's a niche product that does very similar ( albeit better) things as the much cheaper Xbox one s.

Xbox and tech die hards will buy early but after that I'm not sure who they expect to sell it to at $500.
