Well, XBO is selling better than 360 so far, unless I'm mistaken? I'm pretty sure it's very similar at the very least. So technically they're not doing worse. You could say that it mostly has to do with Sony not releasing a machine that's very offputting to gamers (at least for the first few years) this time around.

I agree, the XB1 is selling better thatn the 360.  But, I think that it is common for people to compare sales from 8 years ago and say that it is OK to match or slightly beat them.  Unfortunately, in todays marketplace, you are failing if you don't increase sales significantly each generation - especially with a product with such a long sales cycle.  

The truth from my perspective is that the XB1 is selling OK.  It would really only need to sell about 25% beeter to be doing good to really good.  But, if your competition is selling way better, you have to do what it takes to keep up.  TH problem for Microsoft is - can they really do anything less than another price drop to change things?



It is near the end of the end....
