Very likely it will go over the 9million mark before being discontinued, my post was to CGI who said 9m in 2 years, that won't happen unless something drastic happens imo.

Never know as well, MS might come out with a revision in the same family, they've spoken about forwards compatibility when it comes to their next system so as to not be starting a new generation from scratch so there is the possibility that the next MS machine will be the Xbox1-Chapter2 but still be in the same sales clump as the original machines so it will go well beyond 50m units when wave 2 would begin.

It'd be kinda a bad call to keep the 'Xbox One' name as it has negative connotations. And even if they did keep the name for their next gen system, if it was an all new system and the games no longer came to the base Xbone, then it wouldn't be the same sales clump regardless of what it was called. I mean Wii U wasn't clumped together with the Wii.

The WiiU wasn't grouped to the Wii because the Wii cannot play any WiiU games.

The Xbox1 featuring forwards compatibility which allowed it's users to play severely downgraded versions of a Xbox2 game would still have the same software library, I mean... these machines are getting closer to PC all the times, it can't be too far off to simply have PCesque settings to turn down resolution and kill some of the effects, I mean you look at something like Overwatch on the PC, the Minimum specs to play that includes a GTX460 while there is people who would claim their eyes would bleed on anything less than a 1080TI that doesn't take from the fact that a game which can potentially run at 4k/300FPS (300fps is the limit I've hit at 1080p, not sure why) but yeah... the same game can be experienced on a PC with a Graphics card which can be bought for £15 https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=sgranvigtx4602&categoryName=pci-express-graphics-cards&superCatName=computing&title=nvidia-geforce-fermi-gtx-460-768mb

For comparison sake, that's a game which runs on a card which is 1/8th the power of what some would consider part of the PC master race, close to a decade old card, which launched 5 years before Overwatch, still capable of playing the game.

I just mean... the Xbox 2 will not be 8x the power of the X1 so the older machine should be able to provide a similar experience to what a GTX460 user would enjoy with Overwatch compared to someone on a 1080TI
