Another interesting one to look back on. When we ran the poll in mid 2018 these were the results - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=237004

45-50 million rnage won the poll, with 51-55 coming in second. Once again the community was very pessimistic.

Looks like I voted 56-60 million in that one, so it turns out I was a little over-optimistic. I didn't expect sales to fall off as hard as they did in the last 18 months.

53-54 million.

I voted 51.0-51.9 million.
It’s selling decently well (for its standards anyways) but as the COVID-19 boost wears off and the XSX launch looms and eventually arrives, I expect sales to just tank (same with PS4). I reckon it’ll be just under 50 million by the end of the year. Probably 49.5ish. And I think it can leg out at least an additional 1.5 million from there to the end of its life.

I picked 51-55 in the old poll, but sales slowed for a good stretch after that. The XBO having a sustained period of abysmal sales weeks, hovering around 40-50k, became the most interesting sales story to me. I was skeptical it would reach 50m for a while.

But it will crawl past that.

51m best case scenario



curl-6 on 10 June 2020

I think people are selling the Xbone a little short. Yes, it's sales have been underwhelming and it's not really a successful system, but I think it's unrealistic to predict, as roughly 40% of voters have, that it will sell 51 million or less given next gen is likely not to be cheap. It may be crawling, but its not just going to stop crawling overnight when XSX hits shelves.

Ha. Yes it will. The reasonable choices in this poll are so tightly packed together that I didn't even bother voting.

at the current pace it will need 36 weeks to hit 50 million not factoring in holiday weeks, so likely 51 million before 2020 ends
