Why is it that Xbox will go from a few thousands units sold to nearly 0 on random weeks? Lol.

(Also, we are one week away from Zelda NSWL. Will be interesting to see how this’ll impact hardware figures. My expectation is ~85k NSW next week.)

I hope 100k so to pass 2019 number yeartodate.

Switch: SW-3707-5131-3911
XBox: Kenjabish

If these Xbox numbers after price increase will be the same for a few months in a row, it's interesting how MS is gonna solve this. It even may turn out that MS will decide to stop Xbox sales in some asian countries. But let's see what will be later.

Microsoft have the pockets to turn the XBOX sales around even worldwide if they want to .. however the don't.

They have so much money the can easily sell it at a loss, to put the Series S at 199$ and the Series X at 399 or even 299$ so they be more agresive and the sales will skyrocket, They can surpass PS5 weekly and monthly with those prices, and even surpass the XB1 lifetime easily at those prices, however their profits are more important than the brand to just get bigger as the 360 days.

Microsoft Could Stop Pushing Xbox Consoles In Europe - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)

It looks like they are already limiting the marketing of the console in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Asian countries are likely going to follow that way too. Then the next step would be console sales be completely stripped from all the above when they inevitably go full 3rd party.

The future of Xbox looks bleak. If NA is the only region where systems are expected to be sold in the near future, there’s no shot Microsoft will be launching exclusives anymore nor will there exist much reason for Xbox to exist. It’s not sustainable and is extremely limiting to only be releasing on a system which has no access to the two other major regions.

I'm not sure if all NA sales are actually american sales. It sometimes seems that some of sold NA consoles might be unofficially imported to some other countries. The same case with Japan. It's unbelievable that there're 30+ mil Switch in 100 mil country. Like every 3rd person in Japan has Switch console? It feels that there's a lot of unofficial import to some regions from NA and Japan. 



We could potentially be getting more all Switch top 30 weeks in the future.
