Funny thing is people laughed when they said that about 360, given that Xbox only lasted 4 years. Now it is in its 9th year.

I think its not daring to say that the situation is completely different this time around.

True but X1 is still outselling the 360 lifetime and selling near neck to neck when aligned. Very impressive given the price gap. Also X1 is profitable out of the gate where it took 360 a few years. Maybe its because 360 is padding losses into profit where 360 didnt have that luxury when it launched.

All they have to do is sell enough to maintain a profit and they should have no problem lasting. Though yes, I doubt they will reach lifetime 360 numbers.
