MS prediction before this gen was like 300M or 400M. Back to reality.
| jason1637 said: At the same time during the 360 it sold 50m compared to XBO at 41m. Definitely a step down but hopefully next gen MS can rebound. They've been planting the seed to have a pretty good 9th gen. |
People keep saying that, or that it will have a big launch. But I fail to see that happening. I mean all the studios they bought up are either very small with no real big system seller, or a studio that already made exclusives for them. Also not to mention its only gona be a couple of years dv time since they acquire the studios to the supposed release of 2020. I can only picture small games coming at launch of next gen and maybe a some bigger games mid gen and forward. Ninja theory is the only studio customers can actually expect something from.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

When Sony released the PS2, the PS1 continued to sell with very long legs. It's gravy train did not end when the PS2 released. |
Switch is in a different niche and won't impact PS5, just like it isn't impacting PS4. And letting MS go first has advantages for Sony; it lets them see Xbox's hand and work to counter it by making sure the PS5 is superior.

For the moment it looks like : PS4 > WiiU+XBO+Switch. It reminds me a little of the PS2 versus the xbox, game cube and the dreamcast :) |
Hardly. That graph is skewed by PS4 being out for more than 5 years and Switch less than 2. Switch is selling at a similar pace to PS4, none of PS2's competitors sold anywhere near close to it.

With studio purchases in 2017 and 'XB2' launching holiday 2020 probably, You will likely have Halo Infinite as the big launch title which should hold the core XB fans over for quite a while, maybe even the first year with 2019 BC titles. Then you will probably have one or two GOW sized games drop throughout the year, year after year, mostly to hype Game Pass. They may not be quite GOW level quality, but worthy more intimate story driven titles that MS doesn't typically have on their platform. Let the third parties do most of the gap filling with multi player. There is enough time to make this happen and will be enough to put XB on solid ground and stop the remaining bleeds. They will have to really up their game beyond this as the gen goes on with some new blockbuster IP, if they want to reclaim any lost ground. It's definitely doable but won't be easy as PS isn't likely to let up much if any at all.

Ya that graph is more like
PS4=PS1
XBO=N64
Wii U=Saturn
NSW=Gameboy Color
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

9 million in nearly two years? I see it happening. |
This last week it already dropped to sub 100k listed at 85k, it would need to maintain this level of sales for 105 weeks to make 9,000,000 units. I can't see the X1 pulling 85k a week unless they start bundling the console with copies of games.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

It's not going to stay at 85k every week, it'll increase during the holidays.

And these people always forget that MS always lose in Europe aka biggest market of the world and Asia.

you're talking about what... 8 weeks over the next 100 that it might rise over 85k? how many of the next 100 weeks do you imagine it will be sub 85k? because I'd wager at around 92 of them.

It's not down much from this time in 2018 and it sold how much last year?
Besides which, it's likely going to be around for more than another 105 weeks anyway.
