Do you guys think it didn't sell that "great" or that perhaps the sales of the Scorpio edition + standard XB1X are combined into one ranking on the 2017 chart? |
If we see early price drops... we know things didn't go as planned. A sign of super frontloaded sales. To be fair, Phil Spencer always said that this was supposed to be a more niche product, but they did market it like a brand new console. Even down to numbering the year on the Project Scorpio edition as an official new gen Xbox release. They WANT to sell a lot of these, they put in too much hype behind it to let it slide. It was important that this system one-upped Sony's current hardware. If it's not in a place they want it to be, I expect a repeat of the same strategies from four years ago.
