Yep and in that 7 years. Xbox went from a 25 million lifetime Console, to 80 Million lifetime console and climbing. You seem to forget RROD almost Ruined them and plunged sales. I love that vghchatz was making RROD threads every second calling for MS's end. Yet this never comes up in discussion now. It's, they had a year head start with no bumps in the road that they had to overcome. MS will over come this, just like they did RROD and DRM issues.  They are selling fine. Europe needs some work but being that it's $100 more and selling with out issue, I can see MS coming out swinging when Halo launches.

So don't use the year head start argument if you're not even going to bring up RROD as a set back far greater then the Year headstart.


Well, for most of the generation with the 360, it was cheaper than the PS3, they had a full year head start.. and somehow people who had RRODs boxes kept on buying them!

The 360 had merits, otherwise it would not have sold as much as it did either, it was easier to program for than the PS3 and it was better at many things (this is why people now say they are roughly equal when all it taken into account).

What really saved the PS3 it two fold, first Sony started releasing really nice games in 2009, their machine's OS and online features were much improved by that time too... and MS released Kinect and started pushing their studios into Kinect related games, since it sold really very well for a while... 

Now that Kinect success screwed MS really hard, the people who made it a success eventually took over the xbox division and started working on the successor, having drank their own kool aid, they designed the machine around it! also bringing in the philosophy from the phone sector...

This is what is known as wishful thinking

Why do we let completely stupid and delusional people express themselves in media tribune.

PS3 and Xbox 360 which had the best chance of reaching 100mil didn't even success, but with the evolution of the console market there's absolutely, obviously, NO CHANCE that either the PS4 ou X1 reach 100mil

9 of my local walmarts have stock.

Yes hype is hi but it won't last forever. Early adopters are the core crowd, most won't jump ship until next year. With Halo and Titanfall coming, it's hardly over and way to early to call. 
MS has a lot of tricks up it's sleeves and the money to do so. Seems Sony is holding on by a string and PS4 might not save it. If MS want to get competive, they have the resources to do so, Sony does not. They are up against a wall in all other business's accept PS4.

And Uncharted 4 is coming, and all other Sony exclusives and 3rd party games that run and look better on PS4.

lol MS money, yahh yet its biggest shareholders want to kill the fraking xbox thats how happy they are dumping money at it.  So get over some delusion of MS money means greatness and success for Xbox, shareholders will not tolarate such sentiments. 

PS4 does not need to save it, they already decied to kill half their product lines and focus primerly on PS and a few others.  They basiclaly have to succed or die, this is some good motivation Sony has over its comp.  Sony only though is kill the comp make PS4 massive success.  While at MS some are thingking how to kill the Xbox.  Intresting is it not.

Are you high? I think you missunderstood some "news" on the internet talking about "some" investors (you know, random nonames out there) and Microsoft's people and/or "biggest shareholders" lol... Maybe in your fantasy world, Microsoft is going to get ride of the Xbox (and even Surface/Bing) brand alltogether. Do not mixup hopes and reality :)

Here is a lnk from this Guys.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-02-11-ps4-xbox-one-will-both-reach-100m-units-dfc

Where believe Xbox One will sell 100 Million? I doubt it , The console will be lucky it reach the half. PS4 will it reach easily.


But I thought some dude from Microsoft said that this generation of consoles would sell 1B units combined. Now I'm bummed out. :(

"We think you can go broader than a game console, that’s our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units. That’s how we’re thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward." - Senior Vice President of Interactive Entertainment Business Yusuf Mehdi

Someone was thinking big!  Fanboy or not, you have got to enjoy this quote.

Wow, people on this site are really bad at making long term predictions.


Damn, lol seems like it just keeps happening. People underestimating Xbox and overestimating Playstation.



mii-gamer on 11 February 2014

unless we have a long console cycle - i don't see any of the consoles reaching 100 million.
