Remember PS3's situation last gen, and see how it turned out. |
I remember. PS3 helped the PS brand go from 70% market share to 30%. If we apply the same metric to xb one it would be 31% (360) down to about 12%. If this gen reaches 200 million aggregate console sales (optimistic IMO) that would give xb one 24 million LTD by the end of the generation. Or another slightly less bad metric would be PS3 achieving ~50% of PS2 sales. So if 360 end up at 90 million if xb one manages to pull a PS3-like recovery it might make it to 45 million LTD.
But since there are several factors that worked in PS3's favour that do not apply to Xb one any Xb one recovery is not likely to be comparable to PS3.
Also worth remembering that 360 only really built up a lead because it had a year head start. PS 4 has almost achieved the same lead as 360 had at PS3 launch with no head start at all in the major markets other than Japan.
So don't be looking to PS3 as the model for Xb one's fortunes.
