Even more hilarious is that dummy Dring trying to damage control for them.

Not exceeding your performance from last year is strong? Yeah, dude's trying his best not to put on a true face of someone knowing that Xbox hardware is going the way of the dodo. Lol.

Ohh so last year was a peak year for Xbox huh. Oh well, guess it's all downhill from here. Will be discontinued before 2025.

The Xbox fanboys are saying PlayStation has 20 million consoles in channel stuffing... on twitter of course.

Is it possible to be more annoying than they are?

@Welfare if you really think 2022 is the natural peak year for console sales, even for Xbox....I have a patch of grass to serve you.

Because you haven't touched any in ages if you genuinely believe what you wrote on ResetERA about that 🤣

As soon as that article about Xbox "winning" Black Friday, Xbox fanboys started caring about sales again.

And Chris.
PlayStation may grab the headlines, but it was still a strong week for Xbox Series S and X, which managed to match its Black Friday performance from last year. Overall, Black Friday 2023 was the third biggest week yet for Xbox Series S and X console sales.

Yeah, we're not surprised he would say something like this. LOL

He was also completely silent about Starfield's drop after the first month in the article.

The poster I responded to was saying 2023 is supposed to be the peak year when the third full year is rarely a consoles peak year.

Like I said on Era, UK peak years for PS4 and Xbox One were 2014.

For UK and Europe, the only reason 2023 is so high for PS5 is because 2022 was abnormally low due to shortages. So low, they went down -33% from 2021.

Looking at last gen some more, France peak year for PS4/XB1 was 2014 as well. Germany was 2017 for both. Spain was 2015 for PS4, and XB1 sold the same between 2016 and 2018. Italy saw the same peak sales in both 2016 and 2018 for PS4, and XB1 peaked in 2019. Benelux and Northern Europe peaked in 2015. Combined Europe peak was 2015 for both PS4 and XB1.

Trying to claim 2023 is the "natural" peak or is what's supposed to be peak is a warped perspective of how sales were impacted over the past 3 years.

The funny thing is even if @Welfare is right that xbox matching last year's sales is good for them, the entire rest of the year is down by 10-30% yoy lmao

The amount of salt and coping in his posts is raising my blood pressure vicariously lmaoo

I don't think I said it matching last year was good.

Like if in the US also only "matches" what was sold last year this Black Friday/November that'd be disastrous lol.
