Forums - Gaming Discussion - Prediction: Xbox One will outsell Switch 3 to 1 this year

This includes Xbox One s and Xbox Scorpio.

The Scorpio will likely be 400 dollars. The switch 300 dollars. The scorpio will be the only console to easy output 4k 60 fps games. The Scorpio will have graphics that are 12 times better than Nintendo Switch undocked and 6 times better when docked. Xbox Scorpio has tremendous 3rd party support while it is clear the Switch will not. Scorpio is totally backwards compatible with two generations on consoles and recieves new games daily.

Xbox One s will be 200 dollars or cheaper by the end of this year.  It will have a library over 1200 games by the end of this year. Xbox One s will still be the cheapest 4k blue ray player on the market.

 

Let's talk sales numbers. Xbox One s will likely sell about 8 million units and Xbox Scorpio will sell around 4 million units if released in august. I am willing to bet that nintendo switch only sells about 4 million units this year.

I believe xbox one will outsell switch 3 to 1. What do you guys think? I honestly dont see the switch selling more than wii u.



Around the Network

I think the xbox one doesn't have any sexy content for this year and the switch and playstation will have better sales. Also, scorpio is going to flop harder than the ps4 pro. More power doesn't' mean shit when your content is not there.



Noo, and thinking scorpio is going to be 400? Hell noo

I think that outselling the switch is possible, but 3 to 1? I wouldn't bet even ps4 to do it



From the look of the current competition, I feel like Xbox is going to have a decent year but certainly not the best its had. I don't expect it to be able outsell a new Nintendo handheld especially if gets a new Pokémon game this year.



Around the Network

Nope.I mean, the Switch may not outsell the XOne, but I personally think it will be at least very close.Scorpio sales will be irrelevant, the same way that PS4 Pro are irelevant compared to regular PS4, and the response to Switch seems to be mostly positive, outside of gaming forums.It may be too early to say this, but it seems that stocks are rapidly going out of stock.At the very least Amazon is out of stock at the moment.So I see 2 million sales at March at least.If they can keep the momentum, I can see them selling close to 10 million in a years time.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Xbox one has mass effect, assassins creed, red dead redemption, halo, forza, call of duty, crackdown, resident evil, vr, sea of thieves, outlast 2, prey tekken and the list goes on. Xbox scorpio will have thousands of games where as switch will only have three heavy hitters zelda (which is on wii u) spatoon and mario...



Disregarding the Switch I think your Xbox predictions are a bit optimistic. How many units do you think X1 sold in 2016? Base X1 will certainly not sell more than last year and 4m Scorpio is also a bit generous no matter the price.

On the bright side, you certainly honor your profile pic.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I can see the Switch doing 5 million this year. Could be more depending on the release schedule.



No. I think Xbox One will outsell Switch but 3:1 is not gonna happen. Xbox One sold 6 maybe 7 million units in 2016. I highly doubt it will sell 12 millions this year
