With all these studios and IPS MS owns next Xbox will sell shitloads, i predict over 100M.

Xbox TV, Xbox Video, Xbox Music will be Huge, Next Xbox might Run a modified Version of Windows 8.5 or something like that.

It will be huge.


I do believe the next xbox is going to huge, but mostly in North America and the UK. MS is going market it better than Sony, they have the momentum in the US at the moment, I don't see them losing it. Will that be enough though, they lose yearly to the PS3 now, what's going to change?

360 is older, anything can change next gen, also US sales for 720 at first will be massive in U.S, look at Wii back in 2008 doing 4m in December U.S Alone =)

They made progress, true, but I wouldn't call it outstanding. Except the US and UK both Nintendo and Sony have a far better position. They have absolutely NO chance in JP, seeing that even the Vita is struggling there.

But they don't need Japan to do well, so it doesn't matters anyway.

a 200% increase in Europe isnt outstanding?  far better?

OK.

OT

No chance in japan, there are other things at play there.  But Japan is less important this gen and will be even more so next gen.  Doesnt mater, They have competed amazingly well considering they only sell in two of the 3 main markets.  I doubt any console ahas ever achieved that.

When you had pretty much 0 presence, and that grows by 200%... yeah, its not that big of a deal In the US and UK it made mirtacles tough, and even in Japan it managed to have a decent growth :))

Perople say things so often they start to believe them.

European marketshare:

Xbox

Last gen:  11%

This gen:  27%

PS

Last gen:  82%

This gen:  33%

 


Yes, its still funny just how slow the Xbox growth was, considering how pathetic the PS3 launch was

That was because of the Wii, which did great numbers at this time. Xbox got their fair part as well
The fall of the PS was gigantic though. By far the biggest collapse of a brand in the history of videogames.

What? What's going on in this site. Stop making things up people . Come on, The Dreamcast alone was a bigger fail than anything Sony has done. I bet you Vita does way better .

The PS3 was fucked by Sony with a huge price tag, realizing it almost 2 years after the Xbox 360 in Europe. Sony was cocky, so it backfired on them. But they made progress , they gave us great library of games. The PS3 has a huge comeback story to tell, soon though. 

The Dreamcast was the successor of a flop and it failed. That is not the case for the PS3. The PS3 had by far the best starting position of any console ever before, because the PS2 is the best selling console of all time and it totally ruined that.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Canada, Mexico, Brazil are all countries where Xbox is very strong, way more than Playstation. Also AUS Xbox has been doing great there.

USA:

X360 379,825 (+25%) 37,680,713
3DS 192,885 (+31%) 6,882,588
PS3 185,944 (+22%)

23,223,749

North America:

X360: 40.9m
Ps3: 25.2m

360: 4.2m sales

Ps3: 2m Sales


ofcourse it had, microsoft had to drop the price by $100 just to compete with sony in australia, and they are still losing.

They are both old. And the 360 is no Wii, and never will be.

The PS2 is still selling, they didn't ruin shit. We are talking about about a console bound to sell close 100 million vs one that sold less than 20 million and its parent company had to stop making console. Get your bias straight.

I highly doubt that. They don't even use those ips. Halo is a monster of a franchise and will no doubt sell boatloads but I can't see them achieving the success they had this generation. Their desire to juggle all things at once will prove too much for them. My prediction.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
