The Xbox One is hardly dead, though.
- ekianjo 9y agoNot dead but a massive failure compared to what the Xbox360 did on the market.

- partiallypro 9y agoIf I'm not mistaken the Xbox One and PS4 both sold at faster paces than their predecessors.
- ekianjo 9y agoThe Xbox One? I'd be very surprised if it did. The PS4, certainly, because the PS3 was a pretty bad experience for Sony.
- partiallypro 9y agoYes, and as of current, and the Xbox One X is the fastest selling pre-order in Xbox history. Each generation has sold faster than then next. I think this is largely attributable (in the XB360 -> XB1; PS3 -> PS4) to the fact that there was such a large gap between generations, so there was pent up demand. Don't mistake "faster selling" with more overall sales by the end of the generation. As for the PS3 being a bad experience for Sony, that only applies to the first units. By the end of the generation, Sony was almost parity with Microsoft on units sold. So too has Xbox One started to catch up with PS4 (in the U.S.) Microsoft still sells more software per unit though, if I am not mistaken.
- sotojuan 9y agoXbox line has always lost MS money (even back in the glory days of the 360) and Xbox One has lagged way behind PS4 since it launched. "Dead" was an exaggeration, I admit. But it has mediocre if not poor sales.
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoNo, it hasn't. Read a recent 10-K.
- WillPostForFood 9y agoMicrosoft has always lumped the Xbox in with other divisions so you can't tell from the financial reports whether it is or has been profitable. The only indication from Microsoft that it is profitable is this statement from Nadella, which is at least a little ambiguous. Our gaming business now is more than $9 billion and growing profitably.
