Decent sales, obviously lacking behind the PS4, but that is a unstoppable beast, the Xbox One might actually gain some momentum this year, the S is a great slimmed down version lets hope the Scorpio exceeds out expectations and Microsoft can raise those sales numbers a lot in 2017 and especially 2018 :) they deserve it with Backwards compatibility, constant software updates, I own a PS4 exclusive right now but when I buy the Scorpio I will be happy to play some games I missed. Forza and Gears are well deserved titles in this list!
4 first party games and 6 third party.
@cmay227 Jason is on the side of Xbox so you don't have to worry about him.
Battlefield 1 outsold Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, nice.
Yeah I know that but don't forget about the negative reception from the COD community that likely cause this to sell second place behind Battlefield 1.
Gears and Forza! Who's shocked?! I wish Xbox would take some chances and do something else, rather than paying for temporary exclusivity.
Umm, did you forget about Quantum Break?
No thanks. I brought an Xbox to play Gears and Forza.
No new IP anywhere to be seen. Seriously, when was the last time Microsoft or its devs took a chance? After Sunset Overdrive in the early days of the console I was expecting more.
They launched QB and Recore, and Cobalt in 2016. Thats 3 new IPS.
Quantum Break happened, just didn't sell well. Most of this list is long running IPs, that's what people primarily buy.
