Holiday is always when Xbox thrives.

If the decline YoY is a relatively small percentage, thats stable. Especially when some increase happens the year after. Hence, its stable because its not going strongly in any direction. Stable doesent have to mean perfectly flat numbers.

Anywho, this is semantics.

Yep, holiday is strong for X1. For that reason on my prediction for BF I said X1 could win even though PS4 was rising YOY and both had deep price cuts.

Sure, if closing december 2015-16-17 totals are near I consider stable/flat, But the fact that November was very high doesn't give certainty to December. I was going more on the X1 being a lot down YOY up to November, but sure it can recover for December, but either way I think 2018 will be lower. But who knows, X1X can hit a stride and make 2018 bigger than the previous year. MS managed a second peak with Kinect why not with X1X?

The 360's success with Kinect was an anomaly.

2018 could see decline IF this is an exceptional year. But again, if its averagng about 8 million through the gen, thats stable and viable.
