Also Xbox One has huge franchises coming to xbox one that were not popular or did not come on xbox 360 in 2006. Minecraft, call of duty, gta5, assassins creed, halo 1, halo 2, halo 3, halo 4, halo 5 beta, Destiny, sunset overdrive, forzas horizons, fable legends beta, more indies than 360, dance evolution, elder scrolls online (i think). Titanfall and watchdogs are still system sellers as well. Xbox One will also be released in 55 more countries. Expect exponentional growth for Xbox One! |
Not sure why you think I'm forgetting anything. I'm accounting for every one of those factors, just as I'm accounting for the fact that the Xbox 360 was first out of the gate and thus had a slower start than it otherwise would have had (people like to wait to see the other systems before jumping in), that it didn't have a truly major title until November 2006 (Gears of War) while Xbox One had Titanfall already release (which saw little impact on weekly sales beyond the first few weeks), and that Watch Dogs caused a significant boost to PS4 sales but not very much of a boost to Xbox One sales.
I'm also factoring in the fact that Xbox 360 had a lot of exclusives, while Xbox One mostly has mostly multiplatforms.
As for the other countries... the thing is, the Xbox One was delayed in those countries because they're not exactly big for Microsoft. Japan, of course, is the main country on the list... and the Xbox 360 didn't even make 2 million total there.
And on a less videogame-specific point, "exponential" doesn't just mean "big". Exponential growth is simply not going to happen. Perhaps "strong growth". Exponential growth could mean that it will increase in total by 0.1% per week, for a total growth to the end of the year of about 3% - the term "exponential" doesn't actually say anything about the magnitude of growth.
