The Switch alone will outsell X1.

Why you think so because of a good start?

I would have thought the more interesting match up would be WiiU+Switch vs PS4.

Then the Switch would sell more then the ps4 in the next years are you sure?

No I'm not sure, that's why I thought it's a more interesting question than what is posed in the OP.

Odd comparison for more than one reason.

I've got switch at 40-50 million lifetime and Xbox one at 50-60 million lifetime. It will be close I think.

What makes you think that the Switch is going to be replaced before the Xbox One?

strange thread, the Switch will likely pass the Xbox One in its third year if the trends say anything

as it stands, despite mediocre stocking and a failure to come close to fufilling demand (especially in the USA and Japan) it's massively outpacing the Xbox One. that said, it's a hybrid partial handheld so that's not a shocker.

But yeah, weird thread given the Switch will in all liklihood end up at a vastly higher number than the Xbox One (ignoring the Wii U),.

Xone was doing fairly well at times but lately has been mega struggling

 

note: no way in hell does the Xbox One make it to 50 million based on it's current trajectory (which is downward). And it is extremely likely the Switch ends up well over 50 million (it's a partial Nintendo handheld for gods sake)

I think if the Switch was being stocked well it could have had a like 15 million first fiscal year, which would have been half of the Xones total in that period. Obvs the stocking will prevent that pace, but all the same this isn't a question of IF, it's a question of when

Xbox One probably wont go above 60m.
Im expecting the Switch to end up above 60m. Its sales have looked good so far, and most people like nintendo handhelds.

mark my words- there is zero chance the X-One ends up over 50 million. Microsoft has cut off the systems legs by refusing to work on quality exclusives and by sharing it's best potential exclusives (cough Minecraft) with the PC market as well as some of the competitors.  Not only that but the Xbox One is on a downward trend, it's sales have been far from exceptional lately and the reality is the word of mouth is quite poor for the X One X as it feels like a slightly unecessary step (not a full evolution forward)

I don't see how the Xbox One sells 20 million more systems in the current market when the PS4 is doing like triple or more sales weekly and the only market that the Xbox One is still alive in is the US

NS will do it alone.

Well, according to VGChartz, XOne is up YoY. I don't know if that's true in reality, though, considering this year's NPD results.
