I have 2 questions.
1. Why just because XB1 had 1 weak month - july, everyone now calls it dead, it is selling low always yes, but july has been it's lowest month yet, okay, but just because of 1 month now you are calling it dead ? I think there have to be at least 1-2 more months with very very little to no sales so we called it dead, and perhaps the sales are as it is because of supply constraints, and microsoft is still producing xbox one S, so I think it will be a little bit better the next couple of months (maybe going back to 40/50k per week)
2. Why because of the console transition microsoft and sony both are stopping production of the old consoles and they are out of stock almost everywhere ? normally the production of 1 console is ending around 2-3-4 years after the next gen launches. Also for the out of stock thing, I didn't remeber before when PS3 or PS4 were 2-3 months of launching sony or MS to just don't send stock in the stores of their last gen consoles. This was a routine and it is something normal, yes they have to market and sell the new console as well, but never had let it be out of stock before the launch of the next gen. See PS2 in 2006, this was one of the top 5 years for the system for sales. PS3 also was selling at a medium level in 2013 the months before PS4 launched, it was doing around 100-150K per week, even september with gta 5 which boosted both 360 and ps3 sales for the month with over 100%. |
1. People have been saying xbox has been dead for a while now, covid has just made things seem better than they actually were
2.Im not sure what this is asking, but the consoles are out of stock because covid raised sales over what they predicted, so they did not stock properly. As, from the looks of it sony and microsoft seems to want to transfer to next gen as soon as possible
