XBOX One outsold both series consoles. My God.

I find that hilarious

Stands to reason
Every Xbox console gets worse than the one before it and Microsoft get worse at gaming.

Xbox 360 basically tripled the sales over the original Xbox and spent most of the generation ahead of the PS3.

But that's where they squandered their opportunity - Kinect, the $500 launch price, the non-gamer features; they completely did an about-face 180 after having a pretty damn good lineup with the 360.

Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Halo at its prime, diverse titles at a consistent rate from late 2005 through 2011/2012. Sony with the PS4 ate up every lesson that MS decided to throw out the window when they pivoted to Kinect and TV

@Tacoboto
X360 did sell better than first Xbox, but the main reason being ahead of PS3 was due the 1 year headstart and because of us who bought 3-4 consoles due to really bad quality. I got RROD on every single X360 I bought.
In Sweden, and most parts of Europe, MS didn't swap them out for free as I've been told they did in US.

Taco you are on the money there that Xbox 360 turned to crap with the introduction of Kinect. It was basically date and date when Kinect was announced Xbox Focus changed and they forgot about the games for the regular console and it's been the same ever since.

that, and when you factory in Rrod is why I still think the first Xbox was the best, 360 second best, Xbox One I never touched because it was terrible, and the series X is just another example where Microsoft has no direction in gaming other than to buy everything.

That's why all the rumors swirling around about Xbox feel like there might be some truth in them.
How could an MS exec look at the performance decline generation over generation and say - "let's invest in another generation of this!"
Some kind of big change has got to be in the air...

[Aloymetal]

That's one hell of a record...
But don't you worry because soon we'll get several articles saying: ''How xbone selling more than the series is a good thing for the brand and the industry''...

Xbox doesn't have more profit that Playstatiom. Microsoft however does.

Might as well buy a Steam Deck at this point if you hate Sony.

I wonder what people will say about the XSX/XSS once the gen is done and they've sold less units than the Xbox One. People call the Xbox One a disaster. So they'll probably call this catastrophe or something.

They don’t really care about consoles sales at this point.. they know if they posted them like they use to it will only make it worse..
They are still high off the fact that they bought two big publishers and advertising 200 million people play their games.. it’s funny to me…
I don’t know what next gen holds for them. Just a streaming device or something.. it won’t be too much longer before then I supppose..
