| DonFerrari said: I will start by saying I'm not trolling spewing doom or downplaying the good launch of Xbox One. But if we go by NPD January 2014 numbers, X1 sold almost 1/2 of Ps4 and with all the push from some shareholders to kill consoles division and previous history from original Xbox cut of support we can say it isn't impossible for Ms to pull the plug. And since I doubt Sony would let them release nextbox a full year before Ps5 (that is if Sony don't sink before it) Ms won't be able to repeat the scenario of X360 sucess so maybe they could decide to kill the division if Xbox One bombs (in their metrics, not in the quality of the system or games)? If you were to guess, in which scenario Ms would kill it's division? How many units sold in how long? I predict that if Xbone fails to sell 30M LTD before 5y on the market they will leave the bussiness. Likewise if before this timeframe they drop to less than 3M a year it would also happen let's say year 3 it meets 30M and it's viable but start dropping fast and year 5 it sells 2M then I would say they may release a premature Xbox 360 Two. |
No, they won't based on current sales. The xbone's first couple months were far better than the wiiU. While January is only a little better that the wiiU's first January, those aren't bad sales by any means. What was bad with the wiiU was the massive drop off after the first few months.
