The people who are saying that seem to ignore that 360 had a huge surge in sales in 2010-2012 from "casuals" due to Kinect. Unless XB1 has a massive late life resurgence than matching 360 sales is very unlikely. VR/AR could potentially cause that but it seems as though Sony has the upper hand currently with Playstation VR releasing later this year.

XB1 will likely follow a more standard sales curve which is peak in its 2nd or 3rd full year then begin to decline.

Okay, that would be fine and dandy if the XB360 wasn't touted as a success prior to Kinect. 

Microsoft never wanted to or cared about making great games and being in the console business. It was about stopping Sony. They said so themselves. It was always a trojan horse platform, set to exploit gamers on a course to owning the living room. That totally failed with Xbox One and now, I believe that they're switching gears and moving the platform into other areas where it can be successful. There's many reasons why I believe this but one of them is again, letting their biggest IP leave the platform. You just don't do that if you're interested in having a hardware platform. That's what software companies and third parties do....... 

Playstation 3, was the Cheapest Blu-ray reader, so if you had to run a Blu-ray disc on 2006, Playstation 3, was the Cheapest option, and how can you say about Playstation 2, selling 20-25 Millions of units from 2008, to 2012 ?, this is 5-6 Millions per Year, more than Wii U, and Nearly more than Xbox One, even after 6 Years the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, launched.

Tax, have nothing to do with it, do you think that Someone, will buy a Console from 30 Years ago, that they don't want, only because is 200RS$, insteady of buying atleast a Last Gen console, for 600-700RS$ ?, i want to see if the Americans still buying old consoles  even after so many years.

People still Import consoles for purchase, but also still buying 30 Years old consoles, on the Dozen of thousands units every year, only because they want to play on the Console.

You want to say that My differents poor, and they cannot purchase a Next Gen, or Previous gen console, because of that they are Stuck with Master System ?, The average Wage is 2000RS$, stores sell Xbox One, nearly for free with 1 Year of EA Acess, for 1200-1400RS$, and Playstation 4, for 1600-1800RS$.

So people still prefer to purchase a 200RS$ system, from 30 years ago only because they don't have Money ?, you Know that Atleast Half of the Brazilians have a Month wage of 6000-8000RS$, don't you ?, the others are More rich, and the minority is Poor, is less than 5-10%.

The country have 200 Millions of Citzens, is not because of Tax, or anything like this, is because the console is good, have good games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Sonic.

Exclusive is the main reasons that Consoles sell this much, the Wii, sold a lot because was the only console that had Motion exclusives, with the Wii Mote, if the Wii, did not had the Wii Sports, that was a Exclusive, do you think that it would have sold 100 Millions of Units ?.

Well you say that didnt care about great games but their consoles have always been a place to find great games. But I guess that is just a coincidence.

NES didnt try to compete in Brazil. But I beieve they would have done well had they did what Sega did.

Even if PS3 was a cheap Bluray, it was an expensive machine for the average consumer. That allowed 360 to succeed.

I believe a low price is crucial to having success in Brazil. I hear piracy is also pretty rampant there so many just opt for PC. That lowers odds of people going to Xbox and Playstation.

Brazil has a massive population but relatively speaking they dont buy a lot of game consoles.

Master System had objectively shitty versions of SF and MK. Sonic wasnt great either on that system.

Wii sold well because it appealed to casual market. Wii U has great exclusives and has sold horribly.

Did you know what Sony, did when first got to the Market ?, the CD Player, they had a lot of Developers working for PS1, because was easier to Program too, the CD, had 11 Times more storage than Nintendo 64's Midia had, Saturn, was hard to program for.

The consoles are Not Multi-Midia Box, they are just Gaming consoles, and only used for Games, Multimidia, is not even 0,00000000000000000001% for the Reason that people purchase console, if someone release a Console, without Multimidia, with Online Gaming, and with Good exclusives, the console would still sell, Consoles only have Skype, because of Online gaming (for game), Only have Share Play, and Streaming to Twich, because Youtube, And Twich Gaming, is becoming a Thing, but this is just Gaming feature, not Muldi-midia Feature.

People only purchase console for Gaming, your statement that they purchase for Multimidia, is wrong, the Only reason that Microsoft, is making Exclusives going for PC, and the reason that i Belive that there will not be another Xbox, is because they want DRM, they want 100% Online, all of this is commum on the PC Market, Microsoft, is trying to make the Console market, like the PC Market, because the only think that Microsoft, was sucessful in, was on the PC Market.

They only wanted to make their PC, the king of the Living room, because of that "TV TV TV TV TV" on E3, they did not was able to do that, now they will give up, and only sell their games on PC, after Xbox One, stop of selling, they will not make another console, because there is no way that they can compete agaist Sony, even now that they have the Image of "Liars", and the Gaming Community, know that they will  not support Xbox One, with True Exclusives.

There were numerous consoles that used CDs before PS1. They just weren't very good machines. Sega CD had a few good games though.

Millions of people use their consoles as multi media boxes and gaming machines. If a game console didn't offer the multi media features, they would lose sales. Hey, PS4 is a popular machine for looking at porn as well. Like I said, game consoles became media boxes because that's what the market wants and MS knew that when entering the console market arena.

People forget Sony pushed TV features a lot of as well early on. They are even pushing Playstation Vue.

Wii U, have Anti-Worldwide-costumer's Policy, because of that Wii U, did not sold.

The Xbox 360, Was the only console with Piracy for Years, and still the PS3, out-sold Xbox 360, on Brazil.

Is hard to you to believe that a Country, can like more the Sonic Games, than Mario Games ?, Sonic, is the Best gaming mascot of all times, and the Brazil Simply played more Sonic games, than Mario, and Unlike Mario, Sonic, was sucessfull on all source of Midia, Mario, had one of the Worst rated films of All times.

Do it hurts you to believe that Exclusives, and Games, is the Number 1 thing that Sell Consoles ?, and not Features ?.

It really makes me Happy that Exclusives still move All the consoles Sales, if Microsoft, make something like Steam Machine, if really enter on the Next Cicle, and if the game will have all the games that are avaliable on PC, and Windows, the "Machine" would sell Much, much less than the Dreamcast, i think that even the Steam Machines, are selling on Low Numbers.
