Yes, I'm guessing 50-55 million

Depends. If next year is mainly silent and MS has more firesales, I think they should achieve ~50M-55M when all is said and done. However, if next year is filled with PS5 talk for the last half of the year, you may see people skipping out on it (and PS4 to a lesser extent), looking forward to next gen. And if MS continues the same policy of releasing everything on PC and has more expensive HW at launch, I see the XB2 performing worse than the XBO.



Almost certainly yes.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Yeah it's going to be sandwiched right between NES and SNES with around 56m I think.

I would be really shocked if Xbox One didn't end up at 50M+ lifetime.

Based on sales trends, its gonna hit 50 million.

It will probably be at 42-43 million in January. We won't see new consoles until 2020 maybe and it will continue to sell for a few years after.

If the X1X can be $299 in 2020, then it could potentially do well against the more expensive next gen platforms. Especially if they're priced above $399.

Yes. I would even say it has a shot at the NES if it has good legs after their next console launches.



People here keep thinking in the old gen cycles.  And I truly believe those days are over.  MS won't reset the gen with the new machine.  The X2 will be their new high-end device while the X1X will keep selling as their new mainstream.  A X1X at $299 with the occasional $199 promotions during holidays will keep selling for many years.

Even if X1 sales decline with anticipation of the next gen, it shouldn't be far from 50 million when that begins happening. So even with a sales decline it should make it to 50 million.

If Xbox sales decline because of sharing gaming with PC, then I guess that would mean Xbox games are doing very well on PC? If the next Xbox sells less, it would likely be for other reasons.

100% it will. It's hard to imagine what should happen at this point to Xbox One that it won't reach 50m mark. I think the more interesting question is will it outsell NES? Which really depends on how Microsoft will handle next-gen. Will they make One X as an entry option for next-gen by reducing it's price and making the newer console a high-end option?
