So a system that is well on its way to outsell the snes isn't successful? Okkaayyy......

They don't need to beat PS to be successful, you know...

By that logic the Dodge Neon was successful, just because it outsold the Ford Model T.

How many hybrid consoles do you know?

When all is said and done, it's a tablet. Just one that's dedicated to Nintendo products. 

So your answer is none?

Not accurate, pick something that's 15-20m behind something else and say it's close to outselling, then youre on the money

Now by your logic the change from 1910 to 2002 is the same amount as 1990-2013. That's an bad example.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

It is well on its way. It will do another 15M very easily.

Tell me what valid reason he gave to label Xbox not successful.

Lack of a viable long term vision.

True. It's totally not clear what Microsoft wants the Xbox brand to be.

Weekly sales of 100k, Inc holiday bump you're looking at 2+ years, how many switches do you think will have been sold in 2 years time? (clue: they're apparently manufacturing 25-30m for 2018 alone)

Xbox one will end this gen in last place.

They're probably gonna try to make more exclusives and continue making games for PC and Xbox.

Make?

MS Biggest 1st Party Studios were basically built around a single franchise.

Which Studio is going to drop its franchise to make something new?

Turn 10?

Coalition?

343 Studios?

I think they will buy a few more studios and Rare is also working on an unknown game.

Long term, XB (Live) is headed for service only. One that you can connect to on as many devices as possible. If MS can get an XB app on PS or NiN consoles eventually, you can most likely say goodbye to XB hardware. PC and XB are just the base to allow MS to make this happen.
