That doesn't take much dude. This gen is soooo old that people are ready to move on and upgrade. The WW sales of the XB1 are far behind where they should be if you extrapolate from NA. Additionally, if you compare it to a PS4 based extrapolation the XB1 is NOT doing as well as you think and you are just drinking Microsoft's Kool aid.

If you extrapolate from NA, the Xbox 1 is ahead of 360 by 50% and PS3 by 80%....

Additionally if you compare Sonys fiscal year to Microsofts fiscal year, Sony will be out of cash by 2019 and MS will be $ 120 billion richer...they really can just wait it out.


Thats not extrapolation ... please look up the term; you are doing a direct comparison. The XB1 is selling faster than the 360 because:
1.) The OG xb was released just 4 years prior.
2.) The PS2 was incredibly popular and people didn't rush to upgrade
3.) The price was pretty heavy.

The XB1 was launched 8 years after the 360. Incase you cannot see the point, thats DOUBLE the generation time.

As for your financial mud slinging... cool story bro. A company that has roots in everything and doesn't seem to want to keep losing money on the XB division is clearly happier with its product than a company that is rebranding EVERYTHING into its successful console line right?
