I can believe those numbers, XBox is pretty much dead in EU/Japan.
Unlike the PS4 fans, they tend to get really loud.The Xbox One X is pretty damn silent, so I guess in that regard, the Xbox is quietly doing well.
Why is this thread worthy?
They're doing better, but the second half of this generation has been a huge disappointment. It's like they're ready to get past this generation and start the next.
Of course it did, the Saturn's Japanese library is stupid good and filled to the brim with fantastic games you can't find anywhere else. It outsold the N64 there for a reason. Much like the PC Engine, it's western library is but a glimpse of the true breadth of stuff available!it does for. the ratio at quality to quantity. but overall. not really. it didn't have that many games.
No, that would be the MS: We haven’t halted production yet.....yet thread.I'm confused. What is the point of this thread? Xbox fans celebrating the fact that Microsoft hasn't halted production on the Xbox brand?
We knew at some point the smoke was going to clear.
I remember reading forum users claiming human eyes can't see beyond the 24 fps movies and TV shows do. lolI heard the human eye can't see smoke at more than 30fps.

The xbox one has only a couple of exclusives, literally! The Saturn has dozens upon dozens of them, being a legitimate contender for best exclusives library of all time!
I think MS is self-sabotaging itself. By making all current and future XBOX games console exclusive (which means you can also get them on your pc), it immediately gives you a second option to buy these exclusives. You want Bloodborne? Tough luck - buy a PS4. You want Gears of War 4? You can play it on your PC - no need to buy an Xbox for it.
This is detrimental to the console's sales, IMO.
What is it about the Xbox brand that makes certain people want to constantly shill for it?

GAF could do without these threads.
When the company itself won't release official sales numbers, why play "make-believe console wars" when in reality you have both arms tied behind your back?Honestly though I think you have shills with each of the Console Makers, it's just that Xbox fans look a little too zealous with MS performance.
Brah The Saturn was 5.9 million to the N64s 5.54 and the N64 had a two year delay and the Saturn had a two year head start.
That's basically a tie but more of a win for the N64 than the Saturn. Let's not overrate the Saturns Japanese library in performance. In or outside Japan.
Yep. If anything Sony is the side keeping quiet and getting blasted for not talking.They're very loud, and they're not doing well, so, no, I don't see them "quietly doing well".
Other parts of Microsoft are keeping their gaming division going.

The Xbox fans who actually care about this "news" already know.
The non-Xbox fans already heard about how Xbox is "poised to dominate" and how it is "doing so much better" ad nauseum.
The reason Xbox is in this (subjective) rut is directly due to their own poor decisions, not due to a long series of aggressive marketing campaigns or due to poor market conditions.
This thread is one big corporate S-s-senpai notice meeeee!
So true. With the way console makers now sell hardware for breakeven or a small profit + all the services + digital sales royalties etc..... pretty sure all console makers are making profits. Wouldn't be surprised if MS makes more profits with 40M XBox Ones than 85 million 360s.Beside the RROD that happen back then, something that can/could or did happen to most electronic manufacturer at some point of their existence, Xbox has been doing well yes.
As a platform holder in this industry it seems nearly impossible to not be profitable in the present day with all the services/models to back them up, even when Y or Z is missing (subjective).
Both sides had a huge loss during the previous generation, one because of hardware failure, the other because of components chosen and/or selling price point, but it's a drop in the bucket of what they are making now.
If we're talking about games lacking from 1st parties that would be true, yet it's a problem they are trying to rectify through the new acquisitions, all in all I think people aren't stupid or blind, but sometimes act like it (console warrior bullshit).
TL;DR - everyone is doing fine and will continue doing fine as console gaming won't ever disappear, it sells itself.
This has literally nothing to do with the affilation of the OP. Its just low quality and if it were Sony i would have said the same.There goes that Microsoft bias again. PSbox is doing fine yet here you are attacking the competition.
The brand is pretty dead outside of the US.
The issues is that vgchartz uses completely made up numbers. I still don't understand why that site got unbanned from GAF.

Given MS's commitment to services, new hardware, more studios etc..... MS isn't going anywhere.
Unlike PCs where MS doesn't have to control the hardware to get Office and corporate products selling, they've realized for video gaming, there needs to be a distinct piece of hardware for gamers to attach to. Even though they want more Xbox Live stuff everywhere and crossplay, they core is still hardware based.
Earlier this gen, I think the last bullet gamers had hating MS was the whole "MS is quitting gaming soon so don't bother buying Xbox everyone". In reality, they've expanded.
They don't really care about console sales. It's not a fight they are even thinking about anymore. Xbox Live on Switch, Gamepass, Xbox Game Studios,I think MS is self-sabotaging itself.

Xbox has been hearing this since 2001 and this imaginary event still hasn't happened.
Who cares if a console sells less. As long as it gets good games and has enough gamers to fill MP matches, whether it's 1 billion, 100 million or 10 million does it really matter?What 'imaginary event' are you referring to? I said plainly that Xbox games being available to PC has resulted in less Xbox console sales. This is a fact, not fiction. Xbox would have sold far more consoles if its titles were truly exclusive instead of just console exclusive.
They don't really care about console sales. It's not a fight they are even thinking about anymore. Xbox Live on Switch, Gamepass, Xbox Game Studios,
XCloud...this is what they are focused on. While everyone is busy comparing console sales, they are quietly weaponizing for the real war just around the corner.
