And people calling ethomaz stupid to predict 500k difference in USA before TF and 3M WW for the japanese release week. We may even see it before that.

And it seems PSVita and WiiU have got company in the doom pits.

Would it be really unexpected to see Ms pulling the plug if Xbone bombs? I can see they leaving the market if they have a certainty of not making money. Because I bet Sony won't let they launch nextbox 1 year before ps5 so they wouldn't repeat x360 sucess.there is precedents from them for it.

It would be surprising to give up after building up as much as they have.

In a way, XB is one of Microsoft's better products now.  People are not very happy with Windows 8, Windows mobile, office, Bing, etc.  At least some people regard Xbox well.


And that is the crazy part because their product bad reviewed get a lot more profit... It would be great if all 3 could profit more and in accordance with the quality of their product.

Wow, why did Xbone bomb? I'm shocked. How can that be? Even S.T.A.G.E.'s dorm chose Xbone.

Seriously, this proves XBone is in triuble. It's in even worse shape than I thought it be. And it's unfair. Even Xbox360 must have had similar sales back in January 2006 despite being supply constrained?

This made me laugh more than I should have.

I wouldn't say the X1 "bombed". If you want to see bombs go see the Wii U, Vita, or even the 3DS' January numbers.  

141k for $500 machine in January is ok. Nothing to crow about but not necessarily the end of the world either.

Like the PS3, the price point in the main issue, if X1 was $399.99 sans Kinect, I think it's fair to assume its January numbers would be 200k+.

Maybe it bombed BECAUSE his dorm chose it!?

However, which of those consoles is in it's 3rd month on the market trying to go toe to toe with a rival which launched at roughly the same time?

I'm actually really surprised by how bad XB1's sales have been in comparison with expectations. I didn't expect Vita or Wii U to sell anything. I did expect the US to be the region where XB1 had at least sales parity with PS4.

If PS4 actually ends up outselling XB1 in the US roughly the ratio 360 outsold PS3 and the rest of the world remained identical to PS3/360 in marketshare, PS4 would be massively ahead globally. That surprises me.

Still, it's very early days, XB1 is a very unattractive price and the big hitting games are yet to hit so plenty can change.
