| Shadow1980 said: The XBO has been selling at sub-GameCube numbers for the last three months in the U.S. even after Kinect was unbundled, and it's been selling at well below Wii U levels in continental Europe (and that's only counting markets it's actually in like France and Germany). At this rate, it'll be lucky to sell much more than 5 million this year, putting its LTD sales at about 8 million. It will probably sell at most around 7-8 million next year, and that's assuming it gets a price drop to $300. That's a 40-60% increase YoY, which is solid. So by the end of next year it'll probably be sitting at around 16 million tops. If it's sitting at 8 million at the end of this year, it would need to sell 16 million units next year alone to be at 24 million. That's an over three-fold increase YoY, which is utterly unprecedented for global sales. That's not just over optimistic. It's preposterous. There have been a couple of huge comebacks before, but they've been special circumstances. Halo 5 and a price cut are not going to give the XBO a record-breaking rebound. It's not happening. No chance in hell. It's going to retain price parity with the PS4 (any price cut MS institutes will be immediately matched by Sony), and it's still going to share 90+% of the same games as the PS4. |
your post was going well untill that part.
