New numbers on gaf show xb1 selling less this year, its fourth, than the OG Xbox in 05, it's fourth year. 16million xb1's have been sold in North America since launch. It hasn't even sold a million in America this year yet where PS4 has sold 1.7 million so far.

Now with no new gears or halo this year and only a expensive $500 upgrade, im having a hard time seeing xb1 selling 4m this year. I'm now beginning to think it may not even make it to 40 million before Microsoft cuts the 1 short and starts next gen sooner than later.

Exactly. Without Halo or Gears Microsoft cannot expect a sales boost. This is probably why they are relying so much on the XOX launch.

I can dig it, but I don’t think they can pull off another console before 2021 unless they are working on it this very moment or worked on both 1X and next gen at the same time, which gives them at least 4 years to put out something competitive. Sony on the other hand will have had 5 years from Pro launch to crank out a PS5 with a decent leap forward in tech. MS have a uphill battle if 1X fails to bring them to 50 million. 2 Failures back to back, likely put them into next gen demoralized. As bad as PS3 was it still sold over 80 million.

Crazy to think that XB turned out worse than PS3, a console that launched at $100 more than XB1 and at a time when the global economy was in the shits.
