So it's official MS has sold less XB Series and XB1 combined than XB360 alone.

10 years of XB Series and XB1 vs ~8 years for 360.

MS really needs to get their first party studios in order to pump out more quality games.

I mean, considering:
1) PS4 was $100 cheaper at launch.
2) PS4 was more powerful, which meant ALL 3rd party games ran better on it.
3) PS4 had better 3rd party support (I mean, the X1 had almost 0 support from japanese developers).

You gotta wonder why the heck did so many people choose the X1 over the PS4? I'm inclined to think that Xbox's 1st party games did a lot more heavy lifting than Sony's.

Compare early PS3/360 and the 360 was doing quite well due to quality games like Halo 3, Gears of War and exclusive JRPGs like Lost Odyssey. Even early XB1+ kinect sales were quite good despite the $100 more expensive due to quality games like Titanfall.

But when MS struggles to push out quality games like for most of XB1 and XB Series life, then they end up selling less combined than the 360.

Meanwhile end of PS3 and into the PS4 era, Sony pushed out quality first party games and the result was the PS3 resurgence and PS4 selling quite well.
