It's the first system that Nintendo sold at a loss, generated Nintendo's first ever FY loss since they joined gaming, and practically started the "Nintendo is doomed" trend of the 8th gen.
| fleischr said: Sure, but there's little to no growth in HW for X1. 360 had massive legs due to kinect. It's quickly falling behind. China has been a major non-factor in X1 launch there. Aren't Pokemon Sun and Moon the first Chinese-translated Pokemon games? VGC probably doesn't even track 3DS in China as it's sold as an iQue system... |
The Kinect is the reason why I believe the XBO won't outsell the 360. But I'm pretty sure the PS4 + XBO are selling better each year in China, although that might be the PS4 pulling the numbers.
And I didn't know about the iQue being the 3DS in China... but Nintendo still won't be shipping many more 3DS'.
Right now it's a question of how long the XBO will last, and if the Scorpio will be tracked alongside the XBO.
Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
