you're talking about what... 8 weeks over the next 100 that it might rise over 85k? how many of the next 100 weeks do you imagine it will be sub 85k? because I'd wager at around 92 of them.

It's not down much from this time in 2018 and it sold how much last year?

Besides which, it's likely going to be around for more than another 105 weeks anyway.

When it comes to the reasons to choose an X1 over the other systems available one of the main selling points early in the generation was "me and mates are coming from X360, we're getting the new Xbox's" that selling point works well while the system has a potential future but when it starts to decline in sales this reason to buy a console will have a cascade effect on sales dropping, each other person who picks a ps4 or switch instead of X1 means that the chances of someones mates all gaming on Xbox live are reduced on a weekly basis, other reasons to buy a X1 over a PS4 are basically comparisons of exclusives and AAA multiplats running significantly worse than on the rival system unless you're talking about the premium versions of the systems in which case the X1 sales are now dropping to the point where third parties would be foolish to invest extra dev time into X1X exclusive optimization given the smaller market that you are selling to.

Switch has Nintendo games, portability and the attention of a lot of studios who are now opening up to porting software to the system because of its popularity.

PS4 has some stellar exclusives and really gets the best treatment by 3rd parties in terms of optimization, resolution, frame rates.

X1 has? pretty much every exclusive IP from the X360 generation has shifted to also be available on Win10 and multi platform games while they might run better than the Switch versions are still miles off the PS4 variants which would be it's direct TV only competition. I guess the system has a UHD 4k blu ray drive in it... but how popular is it in your area to buy physical media films and how available are 4k UHDs in your town? Pretty much only way I could get my hands on one is online.

 

Perhaps there is something I'm missing when I look at the 3 systems but as someone who has a decent gaming PC, a PS4 and a Switch I feel I'm missing absolutely nothing by not having an X1 in my setup.

 

edit - my point on the 105 weeks if you multiply 85,000 x 105 to make 9m was that CGI said he could see the system achieving 9m in 2 years, which would be 104 weeks, so even if it sold this exact amount for the next 2 years, it would fail to sell 9m by 85000
