Forums - Sales - X1 will never catch or match PS4 sales, it is a misfired product.

Yes of course you're right. Whatever they had originally planned for the console won't happen now. And if they don't undercut the PS4 by a significant amount, then they can never do better than the 360.

No its not doing well.  In no business in no makret is your competitor outselling you 3-1 for the year called doing well.

It would be spun or sony as a whole Sony would be PS and a few other products.  

The PSP sold significantly less than the DS but still considered a sucess.

Why can't the X1 do the same? A product doesn't need to be #1 to be worthwhile.

Now if X1 had the potential of Vita... it would be worth considering ending production.

That shows the PS4 killing a $499 Xbox One. The X1 is a stronger competitor at $399.

Lets check back a year from and see if things have changed any. If the situation looks the same, maybe we'll a $299 X1 by 2015 or 2016.

There is demand for X1 and it has great support. Achieving 360 numbers might still be feasible given Wii U is not a major competitor. It just won't happen at $499 or $399.

Come one lets check jan then feb then ohh march X1 will kill the PS4 in march.  Remember ?

There was neevr great demend or X1, i walked in a store and grabbed in in its second month.  PS4 was sold out here for many months after the holidays.  Lets not pretend X1 is in some great demend.  

You're being childish, calm down.

I'm not implying X1 has PS4 demand and it doesn't need it to sell as many units as the 360.

 

How does a product sale great where there is no demend for it.  Years of sales must have made me a realist that cant imagine fairy tale scenerios.



40-45 mn looks like life time to me.



Do I think the Xbox One will sell as good as PS4? No it will not. Sony just come correct with gen with the best gaming system ever released imo. Will the Xbox One be a successful system that will have some of the best games of this gen? Yes it will and I look foward to playing them. I own both a PS4 and a Xbox One and I dont see anything at all wrong with either one other then they dont have any real AAA games out for them yet.

Cause X1 is a way inferior PS4, everything it did different then PS4 MS has now Cut.  

X1 is near vita level of failure.  



The initial policy they are trying to implement left a sour taste to gamers....

It really depends on how long this console generation last.  Right now though, X1 is on track to match the X360's sales from last generation.

Actually right now it is about !M ahead where the 360 was at same time in its first year.

People try and compair the X1 to the PS4 to show why its "doing so bad".  But the reality is that if you look at the Xbox One in a bubble, it is doing very healthy sales wise.  The XB 360 sold about 5.9M in its first full year (November-November), and curently Xbox One is on track to do the same if not better.

Now if you are tring to say that the Xbox One will never match/catch the PS4 in sales globably, then I think thats an easy prediction as not even the 360 was able to do that to the PS3 globally.  If you are just talking about NA though, I think you are underestimationg how strong the Xbox brand is in NA.  

At price parity it will most likely sell about the same as PS4, but if they undercut the PS4 (I think they will) then I think they will outsell them in NA.

you cannot act like a product is on a buble. the fact is that when a product is in direct competition with another, the increase of demand of one product decreases the demand of the other.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Thats cool and i to own both, but one is clearly a mass makret product the other one seems a very niche product.  Sales seem to showing that.  X1 could very well be like Dreamcast was, had a good start awesome games but after inital start faltered badly in face of very strong competition.
