They don't show the numbers because they are significantly lower than Nintendo's and Sony's. By the way, the Xbox One was also the fastest selling Xbox in history. And most importantly, at the time Microsoft chose to hide Xbox One numbers, their business model had not changed from hardware sales to service yet, so your counter-argument is ultimately a failed attempt at revising history. As for your fun fact, I'd like to see a breakdown of that. I don't think such a breakdown is possible, considering how obfuscated the Xbox business has been in financial reports for the better part of Xbox history. |
Well considering the OG Xbox is the worst profitable console (losing $5b to $7b) in history followed by the 360 sitting in 3rd place (losing $3b) should be enough evidence that the X1 did alright, which would make it the most successful Xbox.
Tell me, Why do they continue to hide sales numbers when the Series X has basically sold out? Its an odd thing to do when they can be bragging about sales this gen since they are the best they have ever been. Also the changing business model was planned years before we actually seen the change, changes like that don't just happen over night. Id expect you would know that about businesses and how they work.
Its also really odd that MS announced X1 launch sales figures when it was the fastest selling Xbox in history than all of a sudden don't show the Series X/S when it is surpassing the X1 as the fastest selling Xbox in history. Yup, has nothing to do with the fact Xbox is more a service.. It must be because of the console wars and not because of the change of business focus.
I mean, its in the article. How much more proof do you need?
