How would Xbox One have fared without the initial fumble

So 79.1 with the VCR design, but then how much would you estimate without it?

I was kinda joking based on your 'can't be more than a million' guess. I'd think 75M-85M would be the range.

Question is how many people cared more about first party XB1 games vs PS4 games? If you didn't like the VCR design you could just get an eraser instead and the only difference really would be the exclusives. *Actually you'd also need to consider silence or an indoor airport.

Also, cross play likely doesn't become a thing this gen either in this timeline.

The first party lineup was a pretty significant factor too; games like Halo 5 and Gears 4 weren't exactly beloved by fans, while PS4 exclusives like Uncharted 4, Horizon, Bloodborne, etc were more positively recieved.

In this scenario, that'd the arguably the only major factor separating the two, since we're eliminating power, price, and the PR handicap.
