Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Patchter: XBOne X sales exaggerated. 4K TVs are for Morons! Don't fall for Windows Central BS.

 

XBOne X preorders?

Really good. 42 19.63%
 
No big deal. 139 64.95%
 
4K TVs are cool! 33 15.42%
 
Total:214

Said it, on his own show of course. Funny thing is that no one asked him, but obviously he wanted to talk about it real hard. He even set himself up. Seemed very forced and out of nowhere, almost like me on this site sometimes. We don't really have the numbers on X preorders, do we?

He also mentions that the only reasons for buying an Xbox One X are if you already have an Xbox One (?) and a 4K tv. To which he added that if you bought a 4k tv you are a moron because theres no 4k TV signal yet.

I bet many people had the same suspiction on the sales claim. But I still think the X will sell more than what the skeptics think, yet nowhere near Switch numbers. So, is Patcher full of it on this, or is he onto something? Do you own a 4K tv?

WindowsCentral response?

What extrapolation? The celebrations by fans?

4K tv's are worth it for 4K discs alone imo.



4k tv's are for morons?

Someone has buyers remorse after jumping in too early it seems...

Fastest sales of anything means jack shit.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Even if we have a few things to compare it to using cold hard numbers?



Can't say i disagree with him on the points he makes.



4k signal? Haha well thank gawd the X is to play physical and digital media...



My 4K TV has been worth it since I bought it 2 years ago. Has been in 1080p for 2 years now.

And of course people exaggerate X1X numbers, MS exaggerated them themselves.
