Xbone hardware has been going down YoY for so many years now, they must be selling negative numbers.

I think the GamePass fire sale they did is a desperate attempt to respond to those terrible hardware numbers.

Pretty funny seeing Xbots claim MS "doesn't care about hardware sales" lol

To be fair, Spencer and friends have said that a few times :lol

No they haven’t.

“The business isn’t about console sales” is an entirely different statement than “we don’t care about hardware sales.”


Nice. You're almost at MS PR level of spin :lol

PS4 being as popular as the PS2 is just... weird to think about for me. I had so accepted that (traditional) console sales like that were pretty much over and that you'd need a standout feature like the Wii Remote to hit those sales again. Glad I was wrong and the industry seems healthy. :)

Still pretty wild that the 360 outsold the Wii in the US. 

Do you have the specific numbers? I tried to find US totals for 360 but could only find up through late 2011.

Xbox360 sold about 85 million worldwide total, though I can't find any concrete US numbers later than 2011 [when it was about 25 million sold], while the Wii sold just under 50 million in the US. I could see it being really close between those two for US numbers, since that market was far and away the 360's strongest.

People, including myself, got wowed at the download numbers but didn’t pay attention to the fact that people would only spend a few minutes playing, say “this sucks” and remove it.

I realize this is anecdotal, but I know several people who purchased multiple 360s because they got sick of sending it in, which makes me believe that 360's install base was almost certainly lower than 85 Million. Reminder that only the 5th revision (Jasper) finally solved the RRoD problem for good, and that was 3 years in, and that all previous versions had a failure rate of nearly 100% as time went on.

Is there anyone here who bought only one single 360?

I had three of them. An OG, the one with HDMI, and then the small one (not the xbone clone looking one). Had RROD on the first which is why I got the HDMI model.

My 60gb PS3 still runs today though it's so goddamn loud it's almost unusable.  :lol

I had two 360s. OG model kept dying (which I think it ultimately was revealed to be a known continuous thing by MS, they could only tempy fix some of them?) and then a slim which has lived on. The OG model was given to my now former brother in law, and yeah it eventually started having problems for him. :doge

Now that I have more money and companies have gotten smart about how they do the refreshes, I also just tend to buy two consoles.

I ended up buying a pro and x1x. If they figure out a better upgrade to switch than just “new battery” I’ll probably end up getting one of those too..

Usually you can end up doing this for pretty cheap nowadays too if you wait for some trade in deal.

I think I traded in my original Bone and PS4 for pro versions for like a total of $250.

Wii support completely died out of nowhere after the 4th year in a 8 year generation for everyone else. Everyone thought that was because Nintendo were prepping that huge HD lineup :juicy

Yeah, what was Nintendo thinking when they suddenly stopped making Wii games? Microsoft was just as bad, they did pretty much drop non-Kinect game support for 360 after they launched Kinect. And then, hilariously they launched Xbone bundled with Kinect 2 and didn't have a single Kinect game for the new system.
WTF.

Yep, if they had built in a mic they could have narrowed the price gap with PS4 considerably. Instead they bundled it with the new and more expensive Kinect 2 - for which they never made any software. Hahaha.

Motion control is absolutely needed for VR, but I don't need it slapped onto every single game like Nintendo did.
It worked pretty well for first person shooters.

Wii (U) is a pretty cool party system, it has many games that can be played by non-gamers.

Fire Emblem is pretty much sold out in the Netherlands which has never happened with a Fire Emblem game before.
I managed to pick-up the first print CE of Echoes a year after its release.

Could we be entering a phase where Japan is sorta 'done' with Fire Emblem and it is actually more popular in the EU/US.  :dizzy

Just Dance and Xbox Fitness had it but that's about it. I don't think the first first-party kinect game (not counting Xbox Fitness as a game) came out til like the middle of the next year. :lol

My Wii's bluetooth module died, which prevents it from booting even in GameCube mode, and I couldn't fix it even with a replacement. So I bought a bluetooth module for my PC and a wireless sensor bar (for a combined total of $7) so I can just play via Dolphin. :doge

Nintendo shutting down the internet play had killed the need for it anyway, I randomly played Mario Kart online every three months or so. Otherwise I really only would play Order Up! rather than the "actual" games I had never finished. :doge :doge

2017: switch is all right, but it’s too weak. It’ll never run real games like Doom or the Witcher 3.

2019: those games are old anyway

2020: Nintendo is just a kiddy company. Switch is too kiddy. It has blue and red joycons like a toy.
