Honestly some of the posts saying the Xbox One is doomed are boarderline insane. The console has shipped 5 million units already.

It has ZERO chance of winning this generation in sales IMO. But I really don't understand why there's this massive black / white scenario with console sales. Its honestly a strange concept.

If the Xbox One goes on to post a profit for MS, sells a reasonable amount of systems and software, and doesn't sell as much as the PS4 that doesn't' mean its doomed. If it is profitable thats really all that matters.

Take for example ANY other industry. Let's say Ford sells more cars for several years than Toyota. Does that mean Toyota is doomed and no one should buy one? What if Samsung sells more phones than Apple? Is Apple doomed and no one should buy Iphones anymore?

The idea that Xbox One selling less than PS4 means its is utterly doomed to failure and there's no reason to buy one JUST BECAUSE it won't finish in 1st place this gen is absolutely bizarre. 5 million consoles shipped at this point is plenty healthy. At the end of the day Sony is looking to have an absolutely incredible generation with the PS4 but that doesn't mean the Xbox One is a useless product.

I swear console warriors are just strange.
