I personally dont agree with xbox sales being down overall this year, because of the X releaseing and people waiting to upgrade. That pent up demand, should have been released during the launch + holidays (which so far is what your tables are showing). Anyways tagging to see if you stick with it, and if it turns out to be right (or wrong as I assume). If sales drop down to 2015/2016 numbers within 6months or so into the new year, we should know one way or another. |
I expect a 10-20% boost to sales over 2015/2016 or 2016/2017 going forward. If it doesn't reach that boost or sales fall isn't not doom for the consoles. Microsoft consoles is not going anywhere but we probably won't get the extra investment in software we would see if Microsoft consoles became a greater success.
Microsoft consoles doesn't have the same appeal as Sony worldwide so even if Microsoft does much better it will never catch up to Sony. But, on the other hand Sony has a much smaller lead in America and it will be interesting to see if Microsoft can make up ground.
