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

In which the majority of those sales were incredibly front loaded to the X1's first quarter. Its sales are really inconsistent.

Still pretty impressive for a platform with "no demand."

I didn't claim they were breaking records.

And I didn't say that you claimed that they were breaking records.

After the first quarter, X1 sales fell off a cliff. For instance, X1 sales from the April NPD showed that they were worse than any of the 360's NPDs. Yes, even the 360's April 2013 NPD was better than the X1's first April sales in the US. I'm hardly impressed with its launch if it can't maintain the momentum.

At $499 a decline was antcipated.

The big numbers at launch were better than anticipated.

I don't think it will even catch the Wii U to be honest. If it does, it will take years.




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

I fully expect the Xbox One to start outselling the PS4 in NA with the $399 sku. I mean they have to! I already predicted they would take NA at the beginning of this gen and they ain't living up to expectations yet. :/

I don't know, I think microsoft can still pull it out (no pun here folks!). It's still pretty early, perceptions can shift. Especially if they are still shooting for a 10 year life cycle.

Biggest problem the xbox one had/has was their leadership team. Mattrick was a joke, he deserves to be at zynga, not head of xbox. He was nothing but a train wreck as the head of xbox and his leadership during a console transition can be considered nothing less than a nightmare.

However, Microsoft has done a lot to rectify the issues Mattrick left them. In time, with some big hitters like Halo, they can at least pull even in NA and UK. Europe may be a lost cause. However, they could still make some gains in emerging markets like China, South America, etc. It's not a completely lost cause for Microsoft, I still think they can get close to what the 360 sold, 70 million or so...


Perceptions can shift, but the underpowered hardware can't.  Nothing will change the fact that games will ALWAYS look and PLAY better on the competing PS4.  Nothing will change the fact that on multiplatform games, the PS4 is going to be the lead console.  You can change the marketing and push GAMES, GAMES, GAMES (echoes of Ballmer here) all you want, but the public already knows which console is better, and that is reflected in the sales.  Price cuts aren't going to help, Sunset Overhype isn't going to help, Halo 1-4 regurgitated isn't going to help.  Expect moderate to slow sales through the rest of it's probably short lifespan.

The problem isn't what MS is doing NOW...it's what was done since the Xbox One was first conceived.  It was designed, NOT to be the best game console, but to be the "center of your living room"...to be a multimedia hub in a closed ecosystem that MS controlled and profits from.  GAMERS almost universally rejected that flawed "vision", and unfortunately, the hardware is already set, so there really isn't any "fixing" it at this point.  They are stuck, and they know it!

Launch is never indicative of how a system performs on the long run. Consistency is key and the X1 is failing in that component. The best consoles in history were the best because they sold well consistently, not because they sold a lot at launch.

Wii U had a great launch too.

It took Sony 3 years and 5bi losses to start turn the PS3 arround.

Microsoft in 6 months removed all that people here complained about. And for that same people that asked for no DRM, no apps pay wall and no Kinect are the same saing XOne has no chance against the all might PS4.

For those people dosen´t matter the price, dosen´t matter the apps and eccosistem, doesn´t matter the games the XOne is doomed.

Now the XOne is just a more powerfull 360, just as the PS4 is a more power PS3. Thinking consumers will still wonder about multiplat resolution is, with all respect, BULL SHIT.
