The 360 had a crazy end to its cycle but even that late flurry won't dethrone the NS which still has a lot of life as well
I'm surprised the 360 has been outselling Switch over the last year, considering how close it was to the end of its life.
The 360 launched in 2005 so this is still a year and a half before the launch of the Xbox One. The 360 also had a really weird sales curve due to the Kinect fad the last couple of years.
True I forgot the 360 was out for 8 years when the X1 released. Thats a crazy long lifespan for a console.
The last few years of the X360 were it's strongest by far.
Yeah I know Kinect gave it a huge boost but I'm still surprised it could outsell Switch this late in the gen.
