Six months later than the disastrous Xbox One, worst performance since the OG flop Xbox.

How can you do worse that the Xone? I thought Phil saved Xbox and whatever happened last gen was created by other people and certainly not Uncle Phil there.

 

[SLB1904]

Even at bargain bin price. Pack it up Microsoft. No one likes you

Lol that Nintendo switch revenue. No wonder they cant afford drop the price for their games

I'm pretty sure Series is tracking behind Xbox One for months already... since last end of year.
And to be fair after 3rd years 360 sales exploded so it will basically take lead to the end of gen.
Xbox will be the only Xbox console that sold less than Series.

Switch 140 weeks to 2 mill?

Switch 140 weeks to 2 mill?

Strange isn't it?!

I can't remember stock issues... is there some other explanation?

 

[Muddasar]

Shocker is the Nintendo Switch.

What happened there.

Gotta love the spin used by the media saying it beat the Switch yet it’s doing worse than Xbox One/360.

And it's also doing less revenue in more time than the Xbox One. Playstation revenue went up every gen.

Switch had stock issues for the first 2 years, it was actually pretty hard to find up til I bought one in *edit*2018 which is when they started to be able to be found on shelves, this is in the US

@Welfare how's your gut feeling now?

Is that Margrethe Vesteger? She's shit at her job....

Had it in for Apple until they invested in Denmark.... her country. Once they decided to build a data center, she was fine.

Seeing as those games end up in the yearly top 20 even years after their release, why would they? Boohoohoo, why does Nintendo refuse to pointlessly lose money? Why do they refuse to devalue their work?

There were stock issues, but nothing close to what the post-covid launches had. I got mine (not UK but whatever) a few months after release without pre-ordering or searching, just saw them in stock at one of my local game stores one day and purchased it.

It becomes less of an issue as time goes on but part of the problem is that Nintendo has always been an also-ran in Europe/the UK. It probably "won" the Wii generation there, but gamers always favored something else, first microcomputers, then Sega, then Playstation. I don't doubt that it really did take longer than those other systems to reach 2 million. And its not like the PS5, Xbox Series and Xbox 360 didn't all have major supply issues of their own. (People forget how hard it was to find 360s back in 2005...)

The games hold value so u can resell the games for a profit actually. It's what i love about Nintendo.

 

[PlacidusaX]

Counting two different skus as one is super disingenuous.

Pretty much every console up there after 2004 had two SKUs at the time, except the Nintendo ones.

 

[PlacidusaX]

Not as different as XSX to xss.

No, this is Ursula Von Palpatine
