I meant the kinect didn't work for the X1. The Xbox was established well enough as a brand that Microsoft can move units even when they're sleep at the wheel. People still loved Halo and gears.
Nintendo was Xbox's undoing far more than Sony ever was

But OG Xbox outsold Gamecube and Xbox One outsold WiiU, my brethren.
The market grows like every year.
There's more competition.
I just explained some of this.
Numbers are there, yes. Ain't no narrative. To reiterate, Sony won't match those PS2 numbers unless they repeat and can get the competition to roll over plus have a draw for non-gamers.
The biggest issue microsoft had with the X1 was the lack of big games. They had years where nothing happened for xbox while Sony was dropping GOTY worthy new I.Ps.
Half of Microsoft's studio's were working on kinect shyt, and it didn't work out.
Again, how does the market grow if the same amount of consoles are sold each gen.The market grows like every year.

Make it make sense.
The stagnation/decline in the AAA console marketplace, its implications on the health of the industry, and what can be done to reverse the trend
PLEASE NOTE: For the purposes of this write up, I will be using the Wikipedia nomenclature for console generations (I.e., third generation, seventh generation, etc.). Regardless of whether or not one agrees with this breakdown, ultimately it is an efficient and universally understood...

This is a nice write up. The market has not grown at all, in some ways it has shrunk.
Like i said forum narratives and hype distort the truth the numbers are the numbers.
And this is precisely why microsoft and sony(albeit a bit less aggressively) are putting their big investments into capturing market share outside of consoles.

I agree with you, but that was happening over the back half of the 360's life as well, before Kinect came out.
Microsoft has had issues managing their studios after about 2007, unfortunately. It's a shame.
Microsoft never had lots of studios to work on games until recently. Most of the “exclsuives” people remember from 360 were done by 3rd parties and happened out of circumstance I.E. xbox having a year headstart and PS3 being a bytch to develop for.
As the industry moved away from 3rd party exclusives microsft didn’t have anyone to make their games anymore, so they went through a drought until xbox leadership could convince microsft to buy/build some damn studios.
Ironically sony is in this same position right now. As they put first party resources into chasing GAAS it’s 3rd party games propping them up now.
Square is already talking about ending that type of shyt and sony just like microsft back then are starting to have some huge gaps in game releases.
The market tends to grow incrementally. Also, there is more fierce competition.
The big sales bursts are from being able to cater to the non-gamer or casuals and pull in those sales.
This has already been addressed. Rehashing the same questions when you have the answers.

Just cause you keep repeating it doesn’t make it true.
In no measure is the market growing incrementally. If anything it’s been shrinking for the last 20 years
Why are y’all so determined to ignore the numbers just to keep repeating the shyt you made up in your head

Numbers that purposely exclude competition to fit the narrative.
No, they don’t exclude anything read the link.Numbers that purposely exclude competition to fit the narrative.
the OG wii was the xbox true competitor. Gamecube came out in 01 was competition for the og xbox and ps2
