The 7 year old 3DS just keeps on going, even outselling the XboxOne.Any game in the horizon that might improve Xbox sales?

I dont think Sea of Theives is it, imo its gonna be a "No man's sky".
it ll do well enough at launch and be dead within a month or so.

Crackdown 3? still looks really crappy. Like a last gen game, and gameplay doesnt really wow anyone.

The Last Night wow'ed me with its 2.5D pixle art, but is it something that ll push hardware? I dont know.

Maybe State of Decay 2 does it? Imo it lacks ambition, its all been done a 100 times before.
Days Gone atleast has new gameplay that make its zombie game stand out.

Hopefully MS had something unannounced up their sleaves that ll do it.

Yeah idk, it just seems like MS has run out of things for YoY increases.

I think price cuts to $199 & $399 for the S & X models can help keep 2018 sales in the same ~8m baseline its had from 2014-2017 but after that i expect a moderate drop each following year.

 

End of 2017 ~36m

End of 2018 ~44m

End of 2019 ~50m

End of 2020 ~54m

Lifetime ~57m
