Can the XBOX One be saved?

i'm not convinced it needs saving yet..

2nd place doesn't mean terrible.  the data so far show xbone doing really well and unless i see a corner in the data (alla wiiU where the sales velocity takes a massive decline) it doesn't need saving.  so far there isn't enough data to decide one way or another but the one week of post holiday xbone sales wasn't too bad.

 

keep these numbers in mind.  the lowest weekly global sales in the first year was about:

360:   70k
ps3:    49k   (or 58k post european launch)
wiiU:  19k

to date xbone's lowest sales is 171k.

When you look at the chart http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251476/ps4-vs-xbox-one-vs-wii-u-global-launch-sales-comparison/ or article aboout the comparitive launches of the 3 consoles, the XB1 is on the same path as the WiiU.  Of course it had a stronger start, but the trajectory is very similar.  It will take another 4-6 weeks before most Chartz people start to see this more consistantly.  Just in time for Titanfall to obscure the #'s!!!  If Titanfall doesn't blow up and stay that way, there will be a lot more people agreeeing with me by June.
