It was kinect that launched in 2010 and that gave xb 360 a huge push in the second half which probably will be the moment  when xb1 start falling behind


What if xbox one has tricks up their sleeves? They are holding on to the third best selling game in the world right now that they can use any time. You have to remember that xbox one can go dirt cheap in the next few years (less than $200) because consoles were more relativley stronger at that time compare to now. However, the BIGGEST thing is the fact that unlike lastgen, Microsoft had competition their first year. So all that consider, xbox one is doing better. 

It might have something up thier sleeves but looking at it right now, xb1 is going to fall behind xb360.  xb360 best years were at the second half due to kinect(helped capture some casual gamers) not to mention xb360 managed to grab a lot of marketshare on Europe something that xb1 is failing to do.  ps4 has around 70-90%marketshare in most european countries.  Also xb1 will be lucky to hit 35m in america considering both are eating each other marketshare unlike last gen. 


Again, xbox one is outpacing the xbox 360 as of now. Everyone thought xbox one wouldn't be able to do it and now look at them. There were people on this very site who didn't even think it would outsell the Wii U. Also, knowing microsoft they will buy out games and such to keep the momentum up. 

And I'm telling you it doesn't mean much when xb360 best years were at the second half.  xb1 has nothing that will give that kind of boost at the second half.   When you look at the markeshare proportion last gen compare to this gen, you know right away that xb1 won't beat xb360 unless you think that xb1 has a chance at europe which is almost impossible.  if ps3 sold better in europe than xb360 even though it launched 1 year and half later at 200 euros more expensive and against the kinect at the second half, you know that in this gen, xb1 has no chance whatsoever to regain that marketshare that it once had.  Considering the markeshare lost in europe and how ps4 is competing against xb1 in america (last gen it was a no contest), then you can conclude that xb1 chances selling better than 360 is very low. 

" knowing microsoft they will buy out games and such to keep the momentum up".   I wouldn't be so sure about that considering they are more focus in first party games and even if that's true, it hasn't worked for them in the past, I don't see why it would work now.

Im sorry, are you a psychic?  Xbox one can have many things going for them in the second half. As it stands Xbox One is proving itself more and more. They will do what it takes. They already bought Gears of war and Minecraft. Maybe they will buy more games or push holo lens more. Hell, they can have blu ray less xbox one and sell it for $100 dollars. Consoles sales always go up towards the middle and end because it is when they are the cheapest and have the biggest games coming out.
