And I didn't say that you claimed that they were breaking records.

After the first quarter, X1 sales fell off a cliff. For instance, X1 sales from the April NPD showed that they were worse than any of the 360's NPDs. Yes, even the 360's April 2013 NPD was better than the X1's first April sales in the US. I'm hardly impressed with its launch if it can't maintain the momentum.

At $499 a decline was antcipated.

The big numbers at launch were better than anticipated.

Launch is never indicative of how a system performs on the long run. Consistency is key and the X1 is failing in that component. The best consoles in history were the best because they sold well consistently, not because they sold a lot at launch.
