X1 has a surprisingly bigger lead then I expected. I hope MS keeps the price competitive and has strong bundles. Thats the best ways to win people.
They have the best first party lineup in my opinion, but second and -third parties obviously support the frontrunner, which makes sense. Overall I think this E3 will be huge for Microsoft, I hope they have a lot of good news.
I prefer the X1 lineup as well but regardless of what people the average consumer wants 3rd party games. As far as marketing deals go, they go with who pays the most right now.
Altough the Xone is leading, since it looks like this generation is shorter I am pretty sure the X360 will sell more overall. I think the next console from Microsoft will be huge, Im glad they are here to provide much needed competition.
Their next console won't be huge, Xbox is only relevant in 2 countries. Competition is why x1 is selling how it is.
the bigger factor is because the 360 didn't start picking up in sales yet. No way in hell xbone sells 86 million systems, not even close.
@thewreckingball - If the X1 was only relevent in two countries sales would be a lot lower, they wouldnt have hit 20 million yet without other countries.
thewreckingball isn't wrong about Xbox One's codition but he just expressed it in a wrong way, Xbox One still relevant in a lot of Countries but Majority of the sales came from 2 Countries.
USA + UK already is = 16 Millions according to VGChartz, this is over 75-80% of Xbox One's Sales.
for PS4 USA + UK is = to over 18-18.5 Millions and is 45-50% of the Total Sales.
Great part of Xbox 360's Sales came from USA, the console got a big fanbase from USA, and UK, so the Xbox One had a good start in those countries compared to Xbox 360, but while getting more ground on USA and UK it lost presence in Europe and Asia.
Not bad but doesnt mean much when its failing to be ahead of ps3 at the same point in time.
Good Xone sales overall, x360 sold good in most countries and Xone is selling better, so its just fine
