It is more in $$$… nobody knows in units but still amazing.

It still could have sold more. We just need unit sales for the month to compare.
Being 4th already in the top 20 for the year in dollars has to mean it already sold 2 to 3M in the U.S.

If Sony has supply sorted for the holidays, and indications are that they do, they could surpass the PS2 for the year, a feat many naysayers told us would be impossible before this generation started.(estimates for 2023)

The market performance of the series consoles is truly shocking. I honestly thought the Bone was the worst MS could do, and they have surpassed it somehow.
When the only consoles that did worse over the same amount of time were ones that were discontinued before they reached this age, that says something pretty insane.
Also amusing that the consoles that did worse were the Saturn and Dreamcast, and SEGA has decided to attach their lips to Phil's ass this gen. Things that make you go "Hmmmmm..."
At least a couple of people on era have this take. I've seen Shinobi602 allude to this as well on twitter a while back but said that people aren't ready for that conversation, I would agree with him.
They would become a third party publisher in a second if sony or nintendo allowed gamepass on their services. That's the only thing keeping them in the console space. I'm sure once MS' 10 year COD contract is up the renewal will hinge on MS forcing Gamepass on Playstation/Nintendo in order to keep COD.

The question is will Microsoft want to give 30% of every gamepass sub to Sony and will Sony want to plummet their revenue through the devaluation of games being on Gamepass.
You’d think with all the dooming here every week that sony wasn’t completely mopping the floor with the competition
Exactly what I have said about brand damage.

Nobody wants to buy the item that is perceived to be a failure. The Edsel was a kick-ass car, but Ford fucked up the marketing and aesthetics to where the name Edsel became a punchline for decades.
Honestly, the EdselBox would sell better than the Series consoles.
It also doesn't help that the average consumer, when faced with anything requiring any level of explanation to make a buying decision, is more likely to walk away than read or listen to an explanation. Microsoft having had so many similarly-named pieces of hardware in the last decade has done immense damage to their retail profile. Xbox One was the third Xbox, then the Xbox One S which was upgraded in some minor ways but still the same machine mostly, Xbox One X which was actually an upgrade, then the stroke of genius of launching two new systems that not only sound similar to each other, but also to the previous generation and coming in hot on the heels of the One X.
Is a non-gamer buying a console for their kid going to look at Xbox' scheme and take time to figure out which one is the right one, or just say "Fuck it, a PS5 is a PS5, I just need to decide if I want a disc drive or not!" My days in retail tell me that the latter is a LOT more likely than the former.
saw this on GAF where someone saw it on Era, absolutely insane how the people at Xbox responsible for fucking things up so badly for the brand have been rewarded instead of being shown the door (unlike what happened with the disastrous PS3 launch)
It is still the same situation as when Phil got promoted to head of Xbox. Nobody competent wants the jobs, as being in Xbox is guaranteed to be a career-killer within MS.
Nobody with a brain wants to be the captain of a sinking ship.
PS4
2013 : 2.000.000
2014 : 4.680.000
2015 : 5.720.000
2016 (as of october) : 2.420.000
Total : 14.820.000
==> PS5 : 16.153.800 (+9%)
XB1
2013 : 1.820.000
2014 : 4.370.000
2015 : 4.930.000
2016 (as of october) : 2.214.000
Total : 13.334.000
==> X/S : 11.867.260 (-11%)
So
PS5 : 16.15 million (~4.25 million for YTD 2023)
X/S : 11.87 million (~2.16 million for YTD 2023)
We stay on 2:1

GUys, its not about sales, or making money, or marketshare, or mindshare, or good quality games, its about making a statement. Its about spending your competition out of business. Its about breaking entire markets if they wont bend to your will with enormous acquisitions. Its about taking 100 billion dollar losses because you can, not because you want to make a quality product. THATS what xbox is now.
Wow Spiderman executed Mario in cold blood. Superior franchise on the screen and in gaming. @sugarbetik literally can't rn
Looking at that North America LTD sales for Xbox there's just no way their sold through sales are above 21 million worldwide... It's just not adding up.
