Because you own an Xbox One, barney. That's your problem.

At least I don't have to worry  enjoy the so called "amazing" online experience...

barney, remember when you made the threads to predict failure for Switch and I tried to save you? You need to learn to listen to Rol. The reason for this thread's existence is really your Xbox One ownership. Neither the PC, PS4, Switch or 3DS have the problem you wanted to talk about.

I expected 30 million sales, which is hardly a "failure". Yes, the Switch is doing well Rol, congrats! I don't need your saving. In fact, I even joined the bodyguard program to try and save you (granted, I gave up, but still). And look, if the Switch sells 100 million or whatever, you can scream from the roof about how right you were Rol. 

And besides, its not like all my predictions were bad. I said back in 2015 the XB1 would sell 30 million before the Wii U sold 15 million, and no one fucking believed me until it happened! So congrats Rol, you will probably be correct this time.

Official sales from Xbox aren't really 30M. VGC estimatives are... and Rol didn't say all your predictions are bad, just talked about Switch... and considering Switch more of a hybrid predicting 30M would be a failure.

It's not to do with summer it's to do with December the 25th.



Hmm, pie.

You gotta fight fire with fire - even if it isn't as good.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Since no one already said it...

More big games will always launch in the holiday period rather than summer.

Not that people play games any less in the winter necessarily - but it's one of the few times of the year you can get casuals and extended family to spend cash on gaming. Retailer



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
