"The Console Market is Shrinking" is a BS Statement

Yup gaming will be fine. Hilarious when people say X1 is failing when it is currently outselling 360 aligned launch with a $100-$200 higher price tag.

Dude, have you seen how bad the Xbox One is selling in 2014? 



Between PS4 & XB1 

PS4 - 2.677.539 sold in 2014
XB1 - 1.185.782 sold in 2014

PS4 - 69.31 market share in 2014
XB1 - 30.69 market share in 2014

PS4 - 191.252 sold per week in 2014
XB1 - 84.698 sold per week in 2014

And it is only getting worse.

Relative to PS4.....but you completely missed how it is outperforming its predessor at $100-$200 price difference. 360 sold for $299 and $399 respectively.

People, such as you, tend to overlook this.

You are kidding right?

No? Okay, let me explain.


When you ONLY look at the numbers, you, tend to overlook things. The Xbox is in deep deep trouble.

According to VGC, the Xbox One has "only" sold 4.259.444 million units in 21 weeks, that is by no means bad, when you compare it to its predecessor (Xbox 360) which didn't sell as many units in the same time frame, but Xbox One's numbes aren't great either, if you ask me. 

1. Of those 4.259.444 million units sold, 1.106.779 was sold in its launch week, that is 25.98 %. Now, what does that tell you?

2. Of those 4.259.444 million units sold, 3.073.662 was sold in 2013 (7 weeks), that is 72.16 %. Now, what does that tell you? 

3. Of those 4.259.444 million units sold, 1.185.782 was sold in 2014 (14 weeks), that is 27.84 %. Now, what does that tell you?

Bonus

1. 1.106.779 million in (1 week)
2. 1.185.782 million in (14 weeks)

This ain't no joke.
