It should not have any problems passing the 50 million mark and possibly doing as good as the Xbox One. I feel like you could have made a similar statement to this in 2022. "To say 2023 won't beat 2022 requires a certain level of disbelief or unwillingness to apply some common sense" due to 2022 having essentially zero game releases from Xbox and 2023 having what then appeared to be a very very strong line-up. The games came in 2023, the sales for Xbox consoles did not. Hiku:" I think it's harder to sell people on franchises they are not familiar with." Many are still claiming Xbox didn't release any good 1st party games in 2023.(Hi-Fi Rush, Redfall, Forza MS, Starfield) I disagree and think Starfield should have been larger than what it was, but it was definately overshadowed by a major amount of hatred for it before it even released. Xbox Series is behind the Xbox One launch aligned, the gap is widening fast as Xbox One sold far better in 2016 than Xbox Series has in 2023 and there are rumours the Xbox Series is being replaced sooner than initially expected. I think it's chance of reaching 57m sales is very remote. I haven't looked at the launch aligned sales. How many millions is it behind the Xbox One now? Let's not forget their old internal forecasts only had the Series selling 59m by June 2027 and that was before the absolute trainwreck of a year 2023 has been for Xbox Hardware. Releasing games does not guarantee hardware sales as 2023 has proven. They blew their non-existent 2022 line-up away and sold terribly. That's true, there are a bunch of PS5 console sales right now. |
