Xbox 360 first 4 Novembers sales (vgc)
2005 305k
2006 509k
2007 669k
2008 811k
Lets face it X1 is no 360 in US.
So how in the hell does anyone see X1 braking 1m in November, it took 360 6 years to break 1million in Nov sales in the US. You all just disregard history and run with hopes ? By the way PS3 never broke 1m in Nov in US, yet X1 will do it its second year. Ohh Please.
Even my 700k might have been to generous. You all influenced me with all this crazy unsubstantiated optimism.

Ugh, I've already told you. Retailer habits have changed since those days and November is a lot more concentrated for sales now. And before you trot out some excuse about high priced consoles, this goes for the entire retailer industry.

So sales now are triple if not quadruple for Nov.

Yes, go check the last few years.
2012 saw Oct to Nov increase five-fold, 2013 was quadruple.
And MS has never been this aggressive in a November before, it's the first time the console has had a price cut in November, it's usually August or September
2012:
Sep - 270,000
Oct - 270,000
Nov - 1,260,000
Dec - 1,400,000
XB1 is already beating the Sep figure.

Guess what, much has to do with price. Black friday deals work better at 200 then 350ish, its where the masses of the lower income level get their goods. An xbox that touches 400 after taxes will not do as much as a 200 dollar one.
You are expecting X1 to achive the sales of a 200$ if not less then that 360, it is comical.
Even with the higly inflated sept numbers of 280k, X1 would have to increases sales 5 fold sept to Nov in its second year to do what many are predicting.
Nuts is the word.
