LOL the X1 is long way off from being doomed its still off to a better start then the 360 which released in a lot more regions during its launch period. |
You may have not looked at my comment or one that was made earlier in the thread, but this is misleading.
XBone: riding off the success of the 360, which sold like 42M in the US (its undisputed strongest market).
X360: coming out off the original Xbox which didn't do jack, and against the hype of the PS2s successor.
There's different circumstances. But 3 of those 4M XBones that have been sold came off that initial wave riding of the 360. Now the sales have dropped like a rock. You can hang on to the "better than 360 in the same time frame" but from what I remember, 360 was never having 60, 70, 80k weeks, 5 months after launch. They were always much better. So while the raw number of 4M sold in 5 months is higher than whatever 360 sold in that time, when the vast majority of those sales happened at launch, riding off the hype of succeeding a very successful console, but it hasn't sold much since, you can't really say it's "off to a better start" than the 360 when the 360 sold consistently well throughout, not extremely well for a few weeks, then dropping off drastically afterwards.
