I found this to be very interesting. Anyone surprised that Switch managed to ship more consoles than Xbox in such a short amount of time?

Nintendo always reports shipped numbers.
Not surprised tbh. I'm sure it will outsell PS4 at some point too.
52.48 Million units, which means they just passed the XB1 and SNES in LTD shipped numbers.Yeah i know.. what is the number (I am colorblind).. 50+millions?
Switch is basically should be the best seller on the market for the next 2 years, it will probably peak this year, putting it just shy of 80M, the following year shouldn't drop off hard because cross gen titles will be everywhere in 2021. It's going to be 2022 when Switch starts to cool off, though a Pro model could prevent this and a successor model is probably 3 or 4 years away anyways.That is a really high bar, I don't see that happening, but it could sell above 100 million

this thread is pointing out that it outsold the XB1 in Daniel Ahmad's tweet, that is the name of the thread you are reading. Yeah XB1 was around 41M at the beginning of the year and sold less than 10 Million units, that isn't surprising, it's been under 10M a year for a while now.aha.. I just read yesterday that people were estimating that the Xbox One was over 60m. now.. if it really is around 50m.. then it "really" under performed.
X1 should be few millions shy of 50 .imo it's not that bad . They went from 85 million to say 55 million. It's not ps2 to ps3 badaha.. I just read yesterday that people were estimating that the Xbox One was over 60m. now.. if it really is around 50m.. then it "really" under performed.

XB1 will end it's life around 50M maybe as much as 52M but I believe it's around 47-48 Million right now. You are right it isn't that bad, it's about to outsell the SNES. Microsoft's focus has shifted to subscription user base though, so don't expect them to care super badly about how many XSX consoles they sell, they will be happy with 60 Million if they can get 150 Million Game Pass users.X1 should be few millions shy of 50 .imo it's not that bad .

OT
I honestly expected it . Amazing for switch though
No need to apologize, I actually copied the link to Daniel's tweet before I realized that was the thread I was in and so I just pointed out the OP.sorry for being a bit "strange".. I know what this thread is about. lol
I just wanted to see if we could get a better number of shipped XB1 units than we have.
aha.. I just read yesterday that people were estimating that the Xbox One was over 60m. now.. if it really is around 50m.. then it "really" under performed.
Honestly, I don't think Microsoft is in a bad place, I'd be pretty excited about my future if I was them, and I'm certainly looking forward to all these first party titles they are working on.
After 12 Quarters on the market, the PS4 had sold 47.4 Million units, Switch is at 52.5 Million units, but the 13th Quarter put the PS4 at 57.1 Million units, launch aligned PS4 has a few more weeks on the market, but if Switch can hit 57 Million units by March 31st 2020 this year, they will be simply ahead of the PS4 and we can stop using asterisks whenever this question is brought up.How does it compare to PS4 launch aligned?
But congrats to Nintendo, what an awesome comeback after wiiu disaster the Switch is
Microsoft has shifted focus from selling xbox hardware to selling xbox services, they believe there is a limit of 100 Million hardware consoles that can be sold maybe a bit more, but they believe that the limit for a game service like netflix is 10 times as big, and they might be right.For the gaming section yes, but for Xbox hardware not really, which is unfortunate.
There has always been a successful Sony and Successful Nintendo platform on the market at the same time, Switch is really a handheld that can be used like a console, and they have always done well with their handhelds. Not knocking the Switch, it's actually my favorite gaming platform of all time now.Cool, well deserved. Crazy how the industry is so big now that all of these different platforms can be successful and healthy all at the same time.
Yeah, once you could see the writing on the wall it wasn't a surprise.Once it became clear the Switch was going to sell a ton, it outselling the Xbox One around this time was to be expected.
Xbox One will stop at slightly above 50M.

Yeah true, the game boy line and ds line both sold well over 100m, then the Playstation home consoles were always up there as well.There has always been a successful Sony and Successful Nintendo platform on the market at the same time, Switch is really a handheld that can be used like a console, and they have always done well with their handhelds.

Eh idk about that. Microsoft as a whole has moved towards a user centric approach to all of their products. Aka, cloud focused, client independent. Follow the user wherever. So I think Xbox going this way was inevitable, or if Xbox didn't go that route, Microsoft wouldn't be in the gaming business in the future since that is the way the rest of their company is going. (really already there, the xbox group is just playing catch up.)If they sold 100m Xbox One they wouldn't have shifted their focus in the way they did. it would've been big enough userbase for them to target with subs + mobile.
possibly, though Phil Spencer basically has had this plan forming since he took over after that first year of XB1.If they sold 100m Xbox One they wouldn't have shifted their focus in the way they did. it would've been big enough userbase for them to target with subs + mobile.

It's not a hybrid if I don't use the dock right? In japan since 2017, you've been able to buy it at ~$240 without a dock, was it still a hybrid system?
I have seen people say the Xbox is around 40-50 million in sales for like 3 years now lol.

I'd trust someone who has access to sales numbers like Daniel, over Tom Warren. Not knocking Tom Warren, but Microsoft doesn't directly report these numbers, so it's very unlikely that he would know unless it was his job to dig through sales numbers (that he doesn't directly have access to, like Daniel). XB1 sales are 1 or 2 million short of XB1, as best as I can gather, but that isn't some giant failure, it's going to sell over twice what the OG Xbox did.

That sounds about right, I'm pinning it around 48 Million units or so, but it's a rough estimate, it did pick up sales a bit this year in UK it seems but that is a smaller market anyways.
It was 41 millions end of 2018, the console is probably behind of Switch by 4 to 5 millions consoles.
Nope, Xbox has been struggling for a while the Switch took off like a rocket. MS still hasn't been able to shake off the funk they've had since launch and despite gaining goodwill it hasn't translated much to sales.I found this to be very interesting. Anyone surprised that Switch managed to ship more consoles than Xbox in such a short amount of time?
