i think it would have done better...

...but consoles are about games and ps4's library is massively bigger and more diverse.

Launching with kinect was actually a good idea... Microsoft had the opportunity to squeeze more money from the fanboys, and then to cut price.

If Kinect was optional from the start then a lot would have been different. I think the X1 would have been more powerful and could have been a much better console and being doing much better sales wise.

Not at launch tho, which this thread is talking about

Were

Consoles sell to a much larger audience and games alone isn't of absolute importance just primary importantance.

OT: DRM Gate hurt it appeal with hardcore, while price hurt its mainstream appeal. Kinect was attributed to price increase so its requirement was akin to defending its higher pricetag similar to Sony circa 06.

Had it been 399 from the start, XB1 would be around 6-8 mil right now. DRM hurt its enthusiast appeal which affects the strength of its Sales boosts, ie TitanFall would've won XB1 the March NPD. The boost could have it a lot closer to PS4 especially Globally in the US.

Are you sure about that part? I personally can't even name more than 5 released ps4 games and I have one. Note that I don't pay any attention to Indies though.

This quote will never die.

Which are the games that makes the library bigger and more diverse.

Some good games there. Might find something you like.

which is why i added more diverse. personally, i can't think of any games on xbox i would want that didn't release on ps4 first except plants vs zombies. ori too but that isn't out till this holiday. note that i don't pay attention to dudebro games though. 

It was more the disastrous launch than the price. Tons of bad publicity.
