XBOX Sales Over the Years
I'm not sure if Xbox Series X/S would be able to beat that 85 million sales record set by Xbox 360. It might get to that level close range but it's most likely not going to beat it. Why is that? I believe that the pull Playstation 5 is making in the console market will affect Xbox Series X/S in a huge way.
It won’t, they’ll be lucky if they beat XBOX One’s numbers. I think we are going to see declines from here on out with XBOX consoles. Microsoft is driving the brand into the dirt. They had the juice after XBOX 360 and ruined it all in one press conference.
The Xbox series X and S has been the only xbox console to out sale a PlayStation console released in the same time frame as it.
I enjoy playing videogames games on the platform though it has some good exclusives and I heard TES 6 would be coming out as an Xbox exclusive too.

It’s kind of depressing seeing how little the original Xbox sold. Out of the three consoles during the sixth generation of gaming, it was the most powerful one. (Yet it did compete against the greatest selling console of all time, the PS2…) It’s very interesting seeing these numbers, especially seeing how well the 360 sold. I remember originally wanting a PS3 in 2010 but having to settle with the 360 since none of my local retailers had PS3s in stock. I don’t regret getting a 360, I enjoyed it.
But it was also their first outing so 24M units sold is solid. To me, what’s ultra sad is the huge decline from 360 to the One. They built up all that good will with their first two consoles, lost J. Allied and Robbie Bach, and the Microsoft borg took over to shit all over the fans.

They tore the XBOX brand up and it hasn’t recovered since. Series X is going to sell less than 360.
It's going to wishful thinking for Microsoft to believe that their new Xbox Series X/S would pass the Xbox 360. I don't see it happening. Xbox 360 will always be the biggest release in the Xbox consoles family.
How so to which? The 360 comments or the Series X comment?
I am assuming you are talking about the Series X. I keep getting them confused LOL I was thinking of the Xbox One S, not the standard one that came out in 2013 but the reboot that came out in 2016. The Series X will read and run games better, obviously with updated software but outside of that the digital ones are the same to me. I was debating between the two and ended up spending the extra $100 to get a new Series X because it was rated better for newer games like Apex. I guess the One S had trouble with this game and some other ones.
Yeah, I answered that. I meant the Xbox One S and the Series S (digital) are the same to me based on everything I read. The newer one (Series S) just runs and performs better.
What do you mean they are the same?

The XBOX One X and XBOX Series S are close in performance but the Series X blows them all out of the water. Too bad all you can play is Sea of Thieves.
You ain’t lying the 360 was the shit. It was the first console that had straight up OS updates. When it went from the blades to the new interface I was blown away. There was so much value to be had with the 360.
I am saying the Xbox One S and the Xbox Series S... Not the X. That is obviously way better than both! I wasn't comparing that one and saying it was the same. Just the digital version.
No just the Xbox One S and the Xbox Series S... I mean I was comparing the two digital versions and they are about the same but the newer one runs games better. I was looking at both cause I was considering one or the other but went with the Series S cause some newer games don't perform as well on the One S.
Even with Xbox Series X looking all great, it's never going to be on the same level of what we had with Xbox 360. I still have my Xbox 360 and it's still playing like a baby. Xbox One was good too but not as good as Xbox 360.
It was also my favorite Xbox console. I am beginning to think that releasing the Xbox Series X and S got a lot of gamers confused on which one to buy. They should have kept on with using a single number for most of their consoles. Also, do we blame the drop in sales on covid?
Production took a massive hit because of covid. I mean there were shortages for months and it happened 2 or 3 times. So yeah, I think the sales took a hit from that. Also, I think there are more people who are interested in mobile and handheld gaming now than there was back then so the Switch and app games eat up some of the market.
I still have my Xbox 360 and I'm never letting it go. The Series X is quite impressive too. I wouldn't say much about the S Series. Most of guys declined buying the S Series, saying that it's not worth it.
In my opinion, I believe that why Microsoft had to develop and release Xbox Series X/S at once would be to bring competition to Sony's Playstation 5. The COVID did affected everything both Xbox and PS5!!
The talk about releasing 2 different series at the same time can be said to be a wrong move. While a lot of people that wants to play games feel it is okay to wait for the price of Playstation 5 to drop, such can't be said for thr Xbox X/S series.
