Why would Xbox One sell worse than Xbox 360?

  • Its not the go to multiplatform console  that runs games the best and/or has the best online anymore.
  • It doesn't have a year head start this time.
  • its not competing with a console that costs $200 more than it.
  • Its not dominant in its biggest market anymore
  • Getting hamered in its seccond biggest market.
  • still non existent in japan
  • Its no longer the go to dev friendly (lead platform) hardware which meant it always had the best running versions of their games and what they sent out as preview/review code. Kinda why now most reviews of games you see are running on a PS4.
Any 3 of the above points should answer the why. How many of the above points pose serious problems for it should dictate just how bad things may get. For XB1 to sell as much as the 360, it needs to make at least 4 of the above points irrelevant, if it can make all 7 points irrelevant it can outsell the PS4. Which will be impossible to do because of at least 3 points above
