Just wanted to reply to your last thread, why would the XB1 be down 15% YOY when new hardware was launching and with the console up YOY in the US? 

Simple really, all it takes is it selling less in EU, japan and ROW. The small uptick ithad in YOY sales in the US would make up for that so it would be down YOY globally. I don't know about the 15% though, but its clear the XB1 is only doing well in one market and mostly ok in the UK. 

The XB1 was selling nil in Japan, so the difference is minimal. But the US makes up over 50% of sales, and I'm pretty sure it was also up in the UK as well, which makes up almost 1/2 of all European sales. Unless sales dropped 50% in mainland Europe, I don't see the XB1 doing only 7 million this year vs 8.6 million last year.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
