Yet, here we are with both the base PS4 and significantly weaker Nintendo Switch dominating the sales charts. I guess it’s more of an “I told you so” scenario, since said hardcore Xbox fans were claiming things would automatically turn around once X was out. |
Not all X1X sales are surplus sales though. There's many people who bought the X who would have bought the S down the line if the X didn't exist. The YoY increase was industry wide. It happened in 2010 and 2011 with the PS3/360.
