Oh I see, so by a "hell of a lot better"..."at the start" what you really meant was "just now barely selling more than". |
Read well all the comments please it was all previously explained very well, but I guess i have no trouble explaining it again, but slower so no one askes again.
1) The x1 only has a good launch, aside from that its been selling very poorly every month.
2) All previous gen consoles did not have such masive launches like this 3 had. Even the wii u had a great launch, but look where it is now. Its selling so little that ps4 beat it in a few months, this is why we canot look alone at how great the launch was.
3) the ps3 sold well even at a $600 pricetag, well at least it sold better every month than the x1 has. So even with that great launch the ps3 just now outsolded it so its another singh that the ps3 sold better every month. Now its going to climb way higher than it.
4) After the ps3 first pricecut it sold better and increased its baseline. So one thing and the ps3 sold better wich happend later in the life cycle. The x1 has had a bundleling of the most overhyped game + a year of live - $50. After that failed, they removed kicknect. After that failed they offered $75 creddict for people who had 360 to upgrade and it failed also. None of this things incresaed the baseling, it did get a small boost that dint last long, but thats not good enough. And thouse 3 things MS has done to try and inprove sales happened much earlier in the life cycle that sony took to do just the first pricecut.
Why am I comparing it to the ps3? well because the last strand of hope to some people is that since the ps3 started so bad and made a comeback, the x1 has a chance too. I am just stating that the x1 is at a worse position than the ps3 was so it will be a lot harder to make a comback. What people seem to forget when making this argument is that the ps3 had many advantages while the only bad thing was it was overpriced and launched a year later, It still had bluray player, stronger first party team, stronger hard ware and it just came from dominating 2 gens straight. This time around, the only 4 advantages 360 had wich where cheaper price, better online, better multyplats and a year head start where all lost and now they have zero aces in their hole to use as an advantage over the competition.
So yea, to answer your questiong, they are hell of a lot better and will sell a lot more than the x1 from now on and till the end and there is nothing MS can do to change that.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
