Well 360 is on track to almost quadruple Xbox lifetime sales because MS decided to "flip the board". And Nintendo did the Wii approach because of PS2 success.

Winning while choking the life out of compeition makes them all the better for the next round

Yeah because people like staying loyal to products which got 'choked' by the competition and came to an early death.

The wii got choked for games and people rememberd that with the wii U and considering PS4 is much more popular than the X1 despite having mostly indie games. That says the trust is with them, not MS for how the last few years of 360 has been.

When a new gen launches, customers dont just forget about everything that happened before, they take it into account when deciding what to buy next time.


It isn't about loyalty, its about the games. 360's first 5 years were great in that regard. Hence its 81 million sales. Just an example that flipping the board and getting a head start on the next gen can have great benefits.

The Wii is a exception to this rule because it appeals to different demographics. I purely meant that with gamecube doing so badly, Nintendo had to flip the baord in their own way by doing motion controls.

Gamers are more fickle then you think. For all their principle, if a console keeps releasing great games, they will always buckle. Like a EA hater who swears off their games yet keeps buying BF.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
