X1 will never sell like X360. Never. Of course it's not a failure, just a disappointing piece of hardware; I was expecting a lot more after the beautiful 360. That's all.

It is not only selling "like" the Xbox 360 did, it is selling better than the Xbox 360 did. You might not think that it will sell as well in its lifespan as the Xbox 360, but that isn't a fact, and the current facts would suggest that you are incorrect. That said, you are correct that it is a disappointing piece of hardware. I was let down by the Xbox One myself.

They arent naysayers, they just are realistic and dont kid thems selves like you are.  X1 is not doing great.

You know why x1 haters are more right then xbox defenders, they have reality and facts supporting their negative xbox opinion.  You just have wishfull thinking backing you.

There is a list of facts why x1 is currently a failure, its been posted.  Only counters to it habe been hopefull opinions.

 

I have provided copious facts. Find my other posts in this thread if you would like to read them. Everyone saying that the Xbox One is a failure has opinions, not facts, that support this.

The 360 never had insane firesales during its first year, nor did 360's sales drop-off at the end of its first holidays like the Xbone did.

There's enough reason to believe Xbone's sales are increadibly frontloaded. The only way Microsoft can maintain sales pace withthe 360 is if they continue taking a loss of $200+ per console, and I don't think Microsoft wants to do this for the rest of this generation. Eventually, Microsoft will not be able to use the "HIgher sales than 360 measured by release time", since the 360's sales skyrocketed once stock issues were cleared up while the Xbone has no stock issues. The 360 also got a good boost from kinect.

Either the Xbone will be discontinued shortly or Microsoft continues to lose billions per year on this console. It just insn't wise to invest in the Xbone.
