I think the xbox 360 will jump the xbox one in lifetime sales next February. It deserves it though the X360 was just a much better console ( excluding the red ring of death) and in it's gen microsoft did everything right.

I have to disagree. They did lots of things right in the first few years but last few years had very few exclusives, and most of the exclusives were just Kinect games.

It still should have a decent boost in september when it releases in European Tier 2 countries. so I don't think it will fall behind any time soon

20k extra in Europe for September seems reasonable to me, given the baseline sales there being terrible for it. I don't see it changing much.

Are you missing a zero? 20.000? or did you mean per week?
even the 360 had a first week of ~50.000 in japan..  looking at the Tier 2 countries there should be at least a 200.000  boost first week
We in europe get a Fifa 15 and Forza 5 bundle..

• Argentina
• Belgium
• Chile
• Colombia
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Finland
• Greece
• Hungary
• India
• Israel
• Japan
• Korea
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Poland
• Portugal
• Russia
• Saudi Arabia
• Singapore
• Slovakia
• South Africa
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• Turkey
• UAE

You said European Tier 2 countries. When looking at that list I can see a 100k boost for the whole month due to something like 40-50k coming from Japan and some Asian/S-American countries being included.

200k boost first week is madness. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. People have been able to buy the system almost everywhere, in local stores or imported.

it won't I think it will either go up and down all the time or if handled right it will go up this Holiday and keep the momentum.... but I doubt it will go under 360... I even doubt it will keep widening with the PS4 a that rate come next year.... especially the more they listen to Phil Spencer and the customers


LMAO how is that even possible??? People are not goign to buy x1's because phil spencer is undoing what they should never have tried to beign with..Al he has been doing is saying "GAmes" what they should have been doing day 1., Hilarious. The gap will always grow as ps4 will always outsell x1.

 

This Phil spencer is the saviour is as silly as the cloud, Ddx12, etc.. He was behind 360 weak first party, as well as championed the DRM and everything else at first, they opnly backtracked after consumers shunned their product.... Such nonsense. All he is doing now is stating the obvious as they had no choice, yet they still are behind in games and always will be.

 

They never listened to customers.....they would have kept DRM and everything else if sales were good, they had no choice as sales were horrid. Sony did it right right from Day 1, ms switching gears only due to poor sales isn;t going to change anything.

And the first years had RROD

Yeah RROD was a disaster for MS. I think the 360 could have been first place last gen had there not beed a RROD problem.

I doubt it. They handled it well enough by giving replacements for free.

Revisionist history, they did nothing for 2 years by that point million had died and the damage was done.

I dunno. That really helped but the poor reliabilty of the console would have turned many people away from buying the console.

In north America the XB1 will always track better then the XB360...Since Sony and Microsoft are splitting the majority of the market share Nintendo had last generation.

Your poll is off for the record. Should be Q1, Q2, etc 2015; not 2014.

Damn. Too late to reset it now. Will include a note in the OP.
