Hmmm, how come this hasn't been posted to the gap charts forum thread?
Should Xbox Series S be viewed as a modern generation device? Many developers discuss dissatisfaction with the performance of Series S. It is reasonable to say that the realistic sales of Series X are around 10 million units.
Generations don't work like this. The Wii was in the PS360 generation despite its power being comparable to GameCube/og Xbox.
Not true. It's pretty easy to dismiss most of those "dissatisfaction" claims. For instance, the Baldur's Gate 3 devs never said anything about the Series S being the issue. Those complaints were made up by wccftech and people went wild with it.
Splitting sales has never been a thing and generations have nothing to do with power. I know some just want to the Series sales to look as poor as possible, but that's not going to happen.
Clearly you misread, Xbox Series is ahead of Xbox One. And Series X is definitely ahead of One X, One X sold like 5 or 6 million lifetime, Series X has likely already accounted for at least 7m of Xbox Series 20m+ units.
I meant the Series X has sold less then the Xbox One (I didn't mean to add the X there)
The Xbox One outsold the Series X, that is crazy.
You are looking at the launch aligned chart right here in this article, Xbox Series is currently leading Xbox One launch aligned by 1.1m units.
Why would you narrow to just the Series X when there are 2 systems? Nobody tracks it that way. Both systems get the same games and features minus graphical settings. What matters is the demand and for Xbox consoles, and the demand and sales is greater than last gen.
because they are not the same at all
Microsoft should discontinue the Xbox Series S (which is selling for $150 unwanted on facebook) and release a digital only Series X for $350 with the 5nm revision
Use the fantastic Series S external design, it is a great design, but the hardware is not next gen, the GPU is slower than the One X
think about you are making a next gen game
the PS5 has outsold the Series X by more than 4 to 1... that's the worst showing for Microsoft ever
the "One" was more successful
