| Shadow1980 said: The thread title suggests the XBO is dying, and furthermore it tries to compare a console brand that historically does most of its business in America and the UK with a handheld that is strong in most of the world and especially in Japan. In regards to the second point I think a better comparison would be the XBO to the 360, for obvious reasons. In regards to the first point, there is no evidence to suggest that the XBO is "dying" or otherwise past its peak (except in Japan, where it's significantly down from last year, which was itself awful). Let's take a look at the XBO's performance in the U.S. compared to that of the 360
. TL;DR, the XBO isn't dying. It's doing quite well for now. However, it almost certainly will not sell anywhere close to what the 360 did, either globally or in the U.S. |
WoW that's some great graphs.
And as people can see, the XB1 is doing very well and will outpace the XB360 until 2017 at least
Both on a Lifetime and Yearly sales base.
The XB1 will sell over 5million units this year (XB1S launch) and next year (XB Scorpio launch)
2018 will be the real test and i can see XB1 sold through number in the US falling behind XB360. But even at the end of 2018, the XB1 will be ahead of the XB360 LTD wise.
People just underestimate the Xbox brand and sales power in the US, because the PS4 is doing so incredible well.
But that does not make the XB1 perfom bad.

Nothing suports that claim, actually quite the oposite from the preorders on amazon. It had a big spark that dint even last a week, then the ps4 countinued to out sell it. Again, the one s wont be that big, cuz for the first time in video games history, a slim version jacked up the price instead of lowering it. The old one went down, but that one lost its appeal as soon as the slim and scorpio where anounced. |
Nothing supports your claim
A slim version always increased the sales of the console. Not only a temporarily spike, but also the baseline. XB360 Slim did. Ps3 Slim did. Ps2 Slim did.
The XB1S is cheaper than the original XB1. $299 vs $349 for the base Model. Don't use stock clearance Pricepoints as comparsion, lol
The XB1S will be a big deal. It's new. It's cheaper. It's better. All the stuff, that consumer like.
