Norion said: Xbox Series should do better than 58m though probably not as much as Microsoft had hoped. If they almost sold 60m despite screwing up as much as they did with the Xbox One I think they would've easily reached the 70's if it was closer in power and the same price as the PS4 at launch and they didn't have such a disastrous reveal.
I expect it's mostly brand loyalty. A lot of 360 owners switched to the PS4 but most didn't cause they didn't mess up enough for that to happen. |
I could get behind the brand loyalty angle if we hadn't just seen 85% of Wii owners skipping the Wii U, and around 40% of PS2 owners skipping PS3, and I think we can all agree that the Xbox brand is not as strong as the other two.
Heck, most of the X360 owners were previously PS2 owners, and it's hard to believe that they would have built any loyalty towards Xbox yet.
