Xbox Closes a Milestone Year in 2016 with an Exceptional Year Ahead for Gamers

What was 360 at at this time?

Eyeballing the graph in the other thread, it would have been about 15 - 17m.

28.5 million shipped after its 13th quarter.

I managed to find Microsoft's PR from last January. Here's the last sentence of their first paragraph:

It was the last time they said 360 > XB1

The two console was already close early 2016.

Ooops, I looked at a year ago.

How the heck is XBO behind that...

28.5 million shipped after its 13th quarter.

Oh...


Yeah XBO probably behind it then. Mentally I still think of XBO at 20 mil since they stopped giving updates.

I actually made a thread attempting to pinpoint where the XBO's current sales fall.

On GAF, someone pointed out that EA predicted total console sales to reach 80 million by the end of 2016. If this happened, then the XBO has sold-through 26.6 million. Bear in mind, this is a prediction EA made at the beginning of November. November NPD results were lower than what a lot of people expected. At least for the PS4, it managed to do better than the 2015 holiday season worldwide.

Either way, just think Xbox One might be around 27m, and PS4 is at 53.4m.  
World domination.

I don't believe XB1 crossed 25m sold... shipment can be near 27m.

Using the avg. US (NPD) ratio it will give you less than 25m until November... let's get December number to a new math

Remember XB1 ended down yoy this year compared with last year.

Yeah, my 26.45 million estimate assumes that the US makes up 58.2% of the WW sales. That percentage might have gone up.

still, at mid gen that puts it above the original xbox.  Xbox One isn't a huge success in sales but it isn't too shabby either.  i think it will be able to reach 50 million and outsell the nintendo switch.

edit: depending on what the fudge scorpio is i suppose.  if it is like ps4 pro then i stand by what i said.  if it is a next generation console the probably not.
