Shouldn't Xbone be higher? Its price was cut 25% and there's no major bump. Europe still clearly doesn't give a fu**. Is MS running out of options here? |
Its higher than the 360 at the same time of year in 2006 without all of the countries.

Do you even bother to check the data before you post things like this?
3 June 2006 - 85K
10 June 2006 - 81K
17 June 2006 - 80K
24 June 2006 - 78K
Xb one is not doing better than 360 at the same time of year in 2006. You might have an argument that if Xb one was in all the countries the nummbers would be much closer. But that is a total unknown and at this time of year the 40 markets where Xb one isn't might only account for 2000 consoles.
Xbox 360's first summer never went below 70K. Indeed the next time 360 goes below 70K is 18 May 2007. It will be interesting to see if Xb one can stay above 70K for so long. Do you know when 360 had its first ever sub 50K week? 13 march 2014. How many sub 50K weeks has Xb one had already? 6 of them. 5 consecutive weeks. There is a very good reason MS ditched autobundled Kinect: because their projections were showing that staying with Kinect at a higher price than PS4 meant Xb one would probably be the last Xbox console because sales were looking that bad.

Lol you wrote all that for nothing, if you kept reading the posts you would see I was responding to his Europe statement.

Gasp you are right!...for only one week (this week) and by a massive 600 units. If you want to consider Europe consider that X360 never dropped below 15K in Europe until this year, Xb one has already had 2 sub 10K weeks. Countries, countries, countries, I'll concede 1K consoles per week for the countries where Xb one is not officially selling. It would still mean Xb one has had a number of sub 15K weeks (possibly as many as 12), which is an arbitrary floor through which 360 never fell during the whole of the 7th generation. Do not kid yourself that these last 2 week of Kinectless sales has some how meant Xb one is on the map in Europe and aiming to sell like the 360 over its lifetime. Xb one is in for a rough ride in Europe IMO.
Do you think Xb one will fall below 15K again this year in Europe? I think with a dry July it will.
