How the hell did the Xbox ONE sell so much?

Then your claim is rendered moot. Without any shred of proof it's just a baseless opinion coming from the most biased faction on SWs. Thanks for playing...you lose

@kingtito: nah, it's more solid than yours, since only you had an issue with it. I don't see anyone else having an issue with my claim.

Hahahahahaha hahahahaahahaha baseless statement with ZERO evidence to back it up and claims it's more solid than someone else saying prove it hahahahahahahaha you literally can't make this shit up. You cows are in your own little world.

You mean cows cause everyone with common sense and that doesn't have their head shoved up Sony's ass does. Perhaps you should try reading and understanding because you don't want to become the next el tormented

@kingtito: it's amazing how little it takes to trigger you. My flimsy claim has you shook. I have no proof and yet here you are, laughing your head off cause you can't prove me wrong and are stuck with insulting me. Just prove me wrong, it's that simple.

He's a hint cow, laughing at you is the opposite of being triggered. I was literally laughing at you and it was at your expense. Guess you can add what triggered means to the list

Yes here you are responding to my every post...what was that about being triggered? Oh that's right you're triggered

Laughing cause I can't prove you wrong? Hahahaah more like laughing at you because you're so triggered that you can't prove your own claim. I mean that must really suck to make a claim and fail time and time again to back it up

Prove yourself right. The onus is on you cause, you know, you made the claim...pretty simple how that works isn't it

Stay triggered cow and I'll continue laughing at your expense

@kingtito: I don't have to prove my claim, since it is my personal claim. You are welcome to prove me wrong.

Which is what I stated when i said it's your opinion...come on man get your head out of your ass.

@kingtito: I haven't seen evidence that it's false. The problem was over 60% and Microsoft took months to bring you a replacement. I don't think gamers have the vurtie of patience.

No i say the 360 had a shortage but units were coming down each month and NPD from those days prove it.

GameSpot: Is increased output of 360s having any impact on industry revenues yet, or is the console being in short supply still a culprit when it comes to overall sales?

Anita Frazier: I think it's still in short supply, meaning that demand is still exceeding readily available supply, but there are signs that things are loosening up at retail.

Xbox 360 shortages will end soon, says Moore

Microsoft's Peter Moore has announced that Xbox 360 shortages should soon be at an end, stating: "Within the next four to six weeks, anybody will be able to walk into a store and buy an Xbox 360."

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/xbox-360-shortages-will-end-soon-says-moore

The first piece of good news for the company is that the Xbox One is continuing to outpace the Xbox 360 when it comes to consoles sales at the same points in the two consoles’ generations.

https://gamingbolt.com/xbox-one-sales-outpacing-xbox-360-at-same-point-in-generation-as-we-enter-2016

In case you want to hide on shortages a bit more.

Now this is OFFICIAL MS PR you know the one you love,so according to you MS bad moves cost the sales but fact is up to 2016 the machine was doing better and selling faster according to MS.

So what happen? Oh yeah there were no RROD problems to boost those sales..HAHAHAHAA

As soon as he saw a thread stating the PS3 outsold the xbox 360 he was trigger...Hahahahaa

Funny thing is he lie about owning a launch 360,lie about the warranty of the xbox 360 on launch,and falsely claim hes launch xbox 360 was repair for free 6 month after he bought it..Hahahahaa

@Ant_17: you must first prove your claim for it to need to be debunked.

@tormentos: the ps4 was a much better competitor to the one than the ps3 was to the 360 is a much more logical reason than claiming ALL fat 360s would rrod

@Steppy_76: no I don't. I presented the claim 1st. Anyone having an issue with it is happy to debunk it.

@Ant_17: so you are only here to instigate then. Gotcha. Carry on.

@Steppy_76: what, you give up too? Is my theory this hard to debunk?

@Ant_17: nope. You're incorrect. Prove me wrong.

@Steppy_76: your opinion is noted, and ignored. My theory still stands.

It's not bad at all, although I consider it my 3rd console. That said, at least I can watch Hulu Live unlike PS4 since they have their own streaming service and are obviously afraid of a little competition. The game preview program is also really cool.

There is no logic in thinking that a console with the worse fail ever recorded that cost a company a mind blowing 1.15 billions in repairs didn't spark re buys of units once a more solid alternative came out.

Denial is something sad there are tons of stories all over the internet of people re buying xbox 360,we know for fact that millions of xbox 360 were without warranty when the slim model came,we know for fact that MS refuse to repair units with E74 until 2009 4 years into the 360 life cycle,tell me what the hell some one with a 360 and 40 games would do on 2008 when his machine failed do to E74.

1-Sold all its games dirt cheap cancel xbox live and move to PS3 (even more expensive console)

2-Pay $140 for repair see the unit fail again so months down the road.

3-Buy an Arcade 360 $199 and slap your old HDD on it and move on.

4-Cry to the heavens and renounce gaming.

@tormentos: You are confusing your speculation as fact and contradicting yourself in the same breath. If you are pointing out that they spent "a mind blowing 1..15 billion in repairs" you can't follow that up with your conspiracy theory that most of its sales were re-buys. Subscribe to a more refined conspiracy theory. :)

Yes the mind blowing 1.15 was for REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY,not for consoles that were out of warranty or problems NOT COVER BY WARRANTY.

There is no contradiction on my part just a misunderstanding on yours.

The RROD warranty wasn't eternal it was 3 years thats it,if your console broke after the 3 years it was pay and see it fail latter on or get a new one with 3 more years of warranty.

Worse some problems weren't cover by MS 3 year warranty E74 was one it wasn't cover until 2009,that mean that any person who had the problem had to either pay or get a new platform.

I don't know why people are so on denial about RROD how big it was and the fact that it sprung a ton a re buys,i think is the fact that is MS best effort and best performance so far and some people don't like to see it tainted by something like that.

In fact some even ignore the severity of RROD which wasn't a single problem but a conglomerate of problems cover under one name.

Xbox One may not have the first party studios Sony does to bring 3 or 4 great exclusives per year, but we live in an era when quality games come almost at a daily basis. In this context, even the least successful console end up with an insanely good library.

@tormentos: don’t bother banging your head against a wall dude. Lems are in pure denial when it comes to how much of a colossal failure the 360 hardware was.

@Pedro: Lol, you just got slapped around,d like a ho lol.

You have to remember that dav is a cow in the closet and sticks up for his fellow herd members lol.

That's a very good and valid point. Regardless of it's first party offerings, Xbox still gets plenty of support.

Nor have you seen evidence of it being true and without either you can't make a claim and not provide any shred of evidence.

So now the problem is over 60%. Just jumped overnight a decade AFTER the fact huh? As far as the replacement taking months, could of fooled me since my very 1st replacement took 7 days from when I made the call. Doesn't seem like months to me. My 2nd replacement I wasn't so fortunate since they lost my 360. That replacement did take a while and yet I still didn't run out and purchase a new one

Really is a mystery, flops everywhere and lack of exclusives...MS should feel lucky.

Ummm you mistake what I mean when I talk about shortages el tormented. I was using YOUR argument against you since you were the one shouting shortages when I said I got a launch 360 and how it back ordered for months. Funny how your narrative changes when it's thrown back in your face. Doesn't surprise me that I had to explain why I even mentioned the shortages, you do have the worse reading comprehension I've ever seen.

Nope, there wasn't any RROD to boost sales. You've yet to prove it. Go look up the word proof, then actually try and get some. So far you're throwing up goose eggs

You do know that's not how it works right? You make a claim, it's up to you to provide the proof backing up said claim. It's not up to others to debunk it. As sit stands your claim is nothing more than your deluded opinion. Worth as much as el tormented twisted opinions.

You really can’t grasp that other people like different things than you; don’t let metacritic tell them what a “game” is?

El tormented quotes me with some none sense comparison so I write back and say I don't care about the comparison, you come running like captain save a ho and I'm the one bitching? Man, you cows are a "special" breed aren't you...

You have to remember that dav is a cow in the closet and sticks up for his fellow herd members lol.

I noticed how @davillain- flip flops on his standpoints more than Aunt Gertrude does with her sandals during a Summer getaway.

He'll be for something one day, then flip his stance the next day, if it suits the popularity of the conversation.

If the topic is for the hermits, then he'll be for the hermits. If the topic is for the sheep, then he'll be for the sheep. If the topic is for the lemmings, then he's for the lemmings. But dare I say, if the topic is popularly against any of these crowds, he'll be against them too.

@davillain- simply goes with the tides of whatever the conversation is with the attempt of transparency but in reality he often contradicts himself depending on the day and trend.

Because when he is on everyone's side, he is on no one's side.

The xbox one S is a pretty rad system. Its the main console in my living room.

PS4 gets the bedroom where it belongs.

Fanboys can't handle the fact that the Xbox One will be one of the top 10 best selling home consoles of all time. It just drives them nuts because they hate it so much. ROFLMAO! How pathetic of a life do you have to live to actually hate a piece of plastic.

NOBODY IGNORES THE SEVERITY OF THE RROD {though some do ignore the severity of the DRE'S ;) }. It was covered for 3 years which in all probability meant that most of them failed within that timeframe. If they didn't fail in that timeframe they probably had to buy a new system just like everybody else who's machine dies 4-5 years after purchase. Since DRE's are normal in your opinion, then most people who buy any system will eventually have to have it replaced right? Or do rebuys only count against MS? Let me guess you really believe nearly all of the 150 million PS2 purchasers only bought one system though right?

Yes it has. Google "Xbox one lifetime sales"

True except for the lem part, he will always pick the side who's arguing against the lem.

That's why I call him a cow in the closet.

You mean the false replacement which you falsely claim MS replace free 6 months after launch and that i PROVED was out of warranty and that there is no way in HELL that your was service free with your warranty expire for 3 months.?

Dude is over you were busted.

It was impossible for you to get a free repair in May 2006 because back then the warranty was 3 months i prove it,MS extended the warranty to 1 year on december 2006.

Worse you also claimed falsely the xbox 360 in 2005 came with 1 year warranty which is a LIE,MS return time for the 360 was 3 weeks not one. IN fact in transit alone your damn console most have been like 4 to 5 days for both ways and i am been generous,and repairing it was a process.

What you did is so obvious is not even funny and the fact that you can't admit it is lol worthy i exposed your lies man is over.

Let me guess you call and the very next day you had the coffin in your house right.? Hahahahaa such a liar.

He is actually lying @Ant_17 he made some claims that were false and i prove it,he claim he got his machine fix when it RROD 6 months after launch,when launch units didn't have 1 year warranty but 3 months,his machine was out of warranty by February 2006 and MS was charging people $140 for repairs.

My argument is the same there were shortages period but units still come.

And up to 2016 the xbox one was doing better the only difference is that this gen the xbox one hardware doesn't suck,so there are no re buys boosting sales.

Not only i prove it i also prove that you are a LIAR who invent things to wind arguments.

That doesn't say much when even successful consoles like the Snes peaked at 50 millions.

Well not as pathetic as yours who feel the need to defend a piece of plastic every day.

You can't help it..lol

Yeah they magically fail only 3 years and then stop failing,which is why RROD stopped completely by 2008 right?

NO DRE is easily FIXABLE in fact i fixed my self my PS1,ps2,ps3,xbox and xbox 360 ,GC and DC all DRE on me,in fact the laser eye for my PS3 costed me like $30 and youtube make it quite easy since there are tons of videos showing how.

RROD wasn't easily fixable in fact RROD is a conglomerate of problems under 1 name, oh and once you fixed DRE on your unit including the 360 it will last you many years,RROD fixes did not.

Dude people complained about sending MS their machine 3 or 4 times,some people got the machine and not a month latter they would send it again,worse E74 wasn't cover until 2009 and was quite common,you simply had to buy a new unit or pay for repair and pray to the heavens that it didn't fail again.

And one more time we see you trying to portrait something much simple as something that much worse,look how you want to imply that people who suffer DRE would need to buy a new console when in reality DRE was easily fixable RROD wasn't.

-Achievements>trophies

-No need to install 12 launchers to play Apex, fortnite, destiny, ac, etc

-gamepass

-bc

-4k Blu ray

Because everyone loves an underdog and watching the X1 evolve has been one of the most interesting aspects of this gen.

If nothing else, MS is much more consumer friendly than Sony and makes a serious effort to listen to its audience. And that goes a long way.

@kingtito: https://m.ign.com/articles/2009/08/17/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-reaches-54

2009 and it was 54%. That was the year the ps3 started to take over even. Also 40% fault after the repair. Found my evidence for my claim, now debunk it.

Very salty in here. lol

So smexy baby!! Xbox Won. :P

@mosquitobaby: with Xbox One having sold over 50 million units, it’s a good thing. Great games and great console.

50 million I thought it was closer to 40.

@Steppy_76 This is a huge blow to your argument not only 5000 is a huge damn sample,but look at how 41% claimed their unit failed a second time.

Worse when the question was if they had a friend who's console has failed almost 70% voted that they had a friend who's 360 broke.

Compare to only 12% or even 6% in the wii that number is HUGE and show how big RROD was,and again consoles failed more than once.

You and kinglemming have been totally owned.

Yes the replacement I received for free before within the 1st year. Sucks that you can't understand how that works. Works like this...1. make call to MS Xbox support 2. send in 360 once shipping box arrives 3. receive refurbished or new unit. See how that works clown

Impossible and yet I did. Sucks to be you again clown

I also conceded that MS extended the warranty to 1 year in 2006. Still doesn't negate the fact my launch 360 was repaired for free. You just can't wrap your little warped brain around this can you? Fortunately that's not my problem.

Still can't prove I lied huh? It must eat you up inside to know that you can't. It must really suck to be you.

That's exactly right. I called and the next day I had my return shipping box. That's how I was able to get my 1st return in 7 days. You getting tired of losing clown?

No, your argument moves as it always does. Nice try el tormented

You're batting .000000 can't prove any boost in sales and will never prove my 360s were repaired for free. What's worse for you is I received my 1st repair in 7 days total. Just eating up your insides little man
