Thats a bold prediction considering X1 sold over 8 million last year. X1 could surpass Genesis in 2 years.

You genuinely believe X1 wont have exclusives which is highly unlikely. And after 2 years, X1 might be under $299.

Bold but not that bold, N64 sold 15 million 1.5 years and 23 million in 2.5 years yet sold less than 33 million in 5 years. It had a very strong start but quickly faded after its big hitters released and PS1 kept gaining momentum. XB1 could very well face a similar fate.

A few things...

N64 had weak 3rd party support. That seperates X1 and N64 in a huge way. That's not gonna change because major 3rd party games do well on Xbox and they will do better as X1's userbase grows.

Significant 1st party support ended in 2000 as Nintendo put its focus on the sixth gen. Hence, N64 had a short life.

Frankly, X1 will receive great support from both MS and 3rd parties longer than N64 did. They will not have a similar fate. X1 has many things going in its favor that N64 lacked.
