They aint crashed, they aint burned and theyre still competing in markets where they are a force. Xbox One selling anywhere over 50 Million Worldwide would be a great success in itself, despite what the 360 managed to do. As long as they at least remain competitive in America and the UK in the long run, then the Xbox One will be seen as a success. They have the software to do it and they have the brand strength to do it. Wanting to win doesnt mean that they have to win for it to be classed as a success. The PSP was a success, despite selling over 70 Million units less than the Nintendo DS. The Xbox 360 is a gigantic success, despite not matching the Wii. Furthermore, any increase in marketshare will be seen as a success also. With Nintendo failing with the Wii U it leaves plenty of room and potential for the Xbox One to blow past the 360's ~30% marketshare total. Xbox One has had the best launch in Xbox history. Plenty of key software still to hit with plenty of room for pricecuts, hardware changes and new experiences to be brought to the table. This is a marathon, not a sprint. |
@bolded: that doesnt mean that they cant win, or gave up on doing so.
Also, you are misunderstanding my point. i didnt say XB1 crashed or burned, i didnt say they cant win. or i didnt say the 360 was not a success. i am saying that its in microsofts nature to want to be number one, to want to be the market leader and to out do the competition. my post wasnt about Xbox success or failure. it was about microsofts competitive edge and their ambitions to always be the market leader.
