That's great. I am truly happy to see big sales numbers.

With that said, I wonder what it would have been like if Halo 6 launched on the same day, with a month or so of marketing the two leading up to launch.

I think about halo 6 too. I'm sure it would make people upgrade but I doubt it would push any pc/PS4 guys to buy an Xbox. Those people would have switched over by now. Pubg however is coming next month. Don't doubt it's power to move consoles. Look at how well fortnite is doing. Constantly at the top of the most played chart. And the thing about pubg is the difference between the x and s version is going to be absolutely massive. Like the difference between playing it on low settings(s) and high(x). In other words one version looks like a mid gen Xbox 360 game.

I can only speak for myself in that the only games that I'm truly interested in right now on the Xbox One is Quantum Break and Cuphead. Then, there's Gears of War but only because I consider it a "secondary" option.  Normally, I'm not a fan of shooters, but buying a console for other games such as Quantum Break and Cuphead would later lead me to buying other titles and genres I wouldn't initially buy a console for.  Halo is certainly a staple of the Xbox franchise.  It's similar to supporting a Nintendo console because you're a Mario fan but nowhere near as iconic.  I think halo has peaked its impact on the gaming industry last gen, and it only one of the few reasons that help differentiate the Xbox franchise from the PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.

121 for Xbox, 178 for Xbox, PS4 and switch combined. So only 57k between switch and PS4. Most likely the S sold more units than either of them.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Given these number, it makes sense.  But I wonder what prompted Xbox One (not X) sales over the 4 and Switch.

Dont know where you have been, but nintendo just released the most powerfull handheld ever, and its selling like crazzy.

Don't know where you have been but that handheld is ALSO according to Nintendo a home system and as such it's definitely weak.

I'll also add that we are talking about the Xbox one X (a home system) and I added in my comment the PS4 and a PS5 (yet more home systems) so I'm not sure why you did not see that I was obviously talking about the Switch's home system capabilities.

So its weak and doing better than the competition? so why is power important?



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Congrats Microsoft!

Theese launch is impressive

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

I don't get how the One S sold so many along side the One X. What's the story here?



Xbox 360 and Xbox One

A $500 console selling better than the Pro and Switch in its launch week? Nice

(INB4 someone tries to spin this as a negative)

Hello.

Of course, stock shortages of both PS4 Pro and Switch will have impacted the performance of those machines.

Can't sell what isn't on the shelves.
