Imagine if Microsft hadn't cut back on first party studios/software.

Hardware revenue is definitely down (up until X launch), but that doesn't necessarily mean that hardware sales were down in all of these quarters.

There is just too much evidence suggesting that the Xbox One is overtracked. The most telling is that it is down in NPD. We would need some extraordinary explanation as to why Xbox is down in the US but up everywhere else. In reference to the EA numbers we know that they are accurate because someone from Microsoft let loose that the Xbox One was at 26 million last January so there what we really need is a better model for tracking Xbox numbers. Just keep in mind that the USA is their biggest market and go from there.

2017 was a beast for gaming. Probably coming off all that 2016 tension in other areas. People tend to look toward entertainment in times of relaxation and away in periods of stress. Good timing for everything this year.

Regardless if it's Xbone's peak year or not, I'm surprised it's selling as much as it has given the competition.

I'd say it was a good year for Xbox

You don't need to quote my post from ERA if i'm here :P

As i said, those are the estimate i got from all the annunce/estimate that analyst and company did, since they are not from Microsoft and since there are different estimate for some years, we should use those estimate with the awareness that they probabily aren't 100% correct, but they are almost certainly not much off.

For 2017, we haven't estimate yet. I think that XB1 2017 sales should be lower than 2014 by a tiny margin, because US is most likely less than 2014, if my Prediction for December NPD is correct it will be around 200k less than in 2014, and i can see around 100k down in the rest of the world , so my actual prediction for 2017 is 7.2 million, which mean i believe XB1 sales right now are 34.8 million. But, like i said, we have absolutely nothing about XB1 2017 sales aoutside of US so far, so is soon to say what are the 2017 effective numbers.

I bet that in any case they'll be under 8 million anyway, but they could be higher than 2014 for what we know. Anything between 7 and 8 million is likely for XB1 last year, imo.

I don't disagree. However its also not the end of the world like many make it out to be either. 

Ok I'm confused. Why are this guy's estimates more trustworthy than VGchartz's?

Anf if his estimates indeed are that much trustworthy, then why haven't VGchartz updated its numbers for the past years?

Well maybe a few people on this site who have a... "colourful" way of responding to individuals should be dealt with to accomplish this...

I'm just trying to be a Rol troll and kid around, please don't ban me...

It must have made a comeback in the holiday season, as the system heavily starved of titles in the first half of the year. I mean, there was literally nothing. The second half was pretty strong, E3 definitely was a good comeback for them, but I'd be lying if I'd say it'd last.
