I’ll just leave this here.

That’s a nice link but do you have anything actually relevant to his post? You do understand what he originally quoted and responded to, yes? You did read the very first sentence of his reply you just quoted, yes? I guess console warz are just too fun for some.

Did you? He said he is not satisfy with the amount of quality content, then immediately says is false to accuse xbox of having little quality content. That link seems to fit perfectly into the topic, which shows that there is a lack of quality content on the xbox.

I guess console wars just left some people with the defense up all the time.

Considering sales have been close to 2015 and 2016 it have been stable.

This year sales have been slowdown by imminent release of a new console by Xbox. It will be interesting to compare Xbox one 2017 and 2018 there should be a major boost in sales.

Xbox family sales have seen a major downturn in 2017. In the UK software sales have seen a double digit reduction, while PS4 saw over 6% growth. One X demand has already stalled, and only saw any traction during launch month in the UK and US. One S is already 12 months into an end of gen downwards spiral. PS4 still has an upward trajectory, but it's the Switch that has eaten Xbox's lunch, in terms of second console ownership and mindshare.

I don't see the Xbox One family surpassing 50m lifetime.

Yep pre November slowdown can be atributed to X1X being aroudn the corner, but on this situation the release and holiday should cover that pent up demand.

But yes, looking at 2018 will be interesting how long it will hold over 2017 and if it can outsell this year yet again.

That's not true only the sales from July to October were worst in 2017 and that is easily explain with imminent release of Xbox one X.

Expect a much better November and December from Xbox Family that will make 2017 best selling year for Xbox one.

You think so?

I think I have been following this closely  this is where this started  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8682966 

ps: xbox has gotten lazzy

xbox: replywith a meager list of eclusives over a 4 year period

ps: switch beat it in one year

xbox: I meant quality not quality

ps: ps4 has more quantity and quality than xbox, and switch is matching it.

xbox: always with the list war, xbox is the best.

ps: link provided with number of games released last year, ps4 20 exclusives above 75, xbox 1 

You: get on topic.

me: he was on topic

you: learn to read.

How was that? Obviously paraphrasing before you say you will dismiss everything cuz its not 100% accurate or some nonsense like that. I have seen how you and others like to grasp at little things that make no sense, call others fans and bias and pretty much offer nothing more that your preference into a discussion. Also like to live in a fantasy world where everything is all honky dory and xbox needs to do nothing but ride the third party gravy train. 

But its alright, I believe it was permalight that said, that it doesn't matter if you take a hint or even consider any flaws in your arguments. Its almost impossible for you to change your stance. Others who might be on the fence, read this and probably don't even post will see it and it might help them.

Yea, a pity how a platform holder can be relatively successful without providing quality content, without pushing the medium forward, trying to reduce the competition to a hardware arms race. On top of that laying the foundation for quantity over quality a la Steam and all its consequences.

Not reflective of Xbox One though because its a platform with quality content.

People generally dont argue that, instead they argue it has no exclusives due to sharing games with PC.
