Yeah that sounds about right; better PR and first party support should raise it above the Xbone, but I don't see it having the long legs, 10 year lifespan, or Kinect boost that elevated 360 to the sales it reached.

It also doesn't have the red ring of death. No one owned just one Xbox 360, they owned multiple. lol

Can confirm; my first one died on me and I bought a second one to replace it. The flipside of that though is that its reputation as faulty hardware may have dissuaded a lot of potential buyers and so hurt hardware sales as well as helped them.

Same here.  When my original 360 came down with the RROD, I got it "fixed" at Digital Press Videogames, but that fix didn't last long.  Which is why I think they stopped offering the service after a while.  I later upgraded to the 360 Slim which still works to this day.  To be honest, I haven't had great luck with any of Microsoft's consoles.  The power button on my original XBox stopped working, my 360 RROD'd, and my XBox One's power supply stopped working.

How much was it for Switch the previous week (Oct 10 to 16, I guess)? I have not found it to know how it looks in the second week post OLED launch.

393k, I think.

That's lower than I thought it would be.

They blew through like 3 weeks of normal stock on the OLED's launch week so supply was very tight.

The Xbox 360 numbers were inflated by the RROD. I really don't think it's impossible for Xbox Series to surpass 85 million considering it's going to sell around 10 million in its first year while being supply-constrained. It is already ahead of the 360's 2009. The challenge will be in years 4 and 5, when Kinect came out, but I don't think it'll be completely impossible for Series to surpass that with big exclusives and new Slim/more powerful versions of Series S and X.

Yeah, understandable, especially now with the announcement they will miss the targeted production numbers.

Or a portable version.

Yeah, not even Nintendo could avoid the global semiconductor shortage. Supply more than anything will determine Switch's sales for the remainder of 2021.
