Forums - Sales - The Xbox One is a MAJOR FLOP in mainland Europe (6,697 units sold post-price cut). We need to talk about this.

 

Your reaction:

Game over man! Game over! 632 85.99%
 
I want to believe. 95 12.93%
 
Total:727

Saw this coming a mile away. People claimed it was outrageous to think the X1 and all it's 3rd party support would flounder in the market as it currently does.

That is pretty bad, I don't think they can really achieve a whole lot better than that either tbh.



 

halo & gears is the only thing that can boost xbone in EU, which ultimately is the final step in turning the xbox one into an xbox 360 all over again



Actually, in mainland EU X1 was behind all consoles and handhelds from 8th or 7th gen except for the original Wii. Just checked via VGC numbers like Troll_Whisperer. Really a total BOMBA.



What is there to talk about? Itll pick up in June and even more in September.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

So, it's released in 13 counties, 6 of which are European. 5 of which aren't the UK. Yeah...doomed.

Really? You knew that a once dominant console was going to end up like this?  Grasping at a price cut and some heavy hitting games to bring its sales up. Did you also see the Wii U being in the position it is in? Or did you think it would do decent. Especially since the Wii was so big.

It is common that when PS wins, everything else is choked of life and opportunity. Totally expected really.

People are waiting for the kinect-less Xbox One?

I don't know. MediaMarkt, the biggest chain in Germany sells Titanfall bundles with Kinect for 444 Euros. Why should anyone wait for the kinectless bundle without a game for 399?

You can sell the Kinect 2.0 for around 35 Euros at eBay and Titanfall should be interesting for most people that want a X1.



Just as predicted. Europe is Sony-land, MS doesn't stand a chance in Europe.

Those countries represent like 80+% of sales in mainland Europe.

Expect sales to skyrocket to 5,200 units or so.
