This isn't really a surprise, there are much more gamers now. At the release of the XB36, not as many people were interested in gaming but during the years between then and the XB1 release, there have been so many new people interested in gaming.

Tutor Not really a surprise, to be honest. I think everyone expected that.


I didn't, the One is way to expensive for most people...


I didnt expect this either because of the price.


I still maintain that it's way overpriced though.

I must admit, I'm quite surprised with this. Just shows you how far consoles are coming, a house isn't complete with at least one in it

Oasis They should drop the current 360 model and have a disc less version with 500gb for a cheap price, kind of like the Arcade but no disc drive and massive hdd. I think it'd still sell as a entry level console for newcomers.


It definitely would not sell at all as an entry level console.


You have to think about the market. Eventually they'll stop production of disc based games on 360, yet the marketplace has loads of available games ready to download that grows everyday. You say it wouldn't sell but I bet it would if the price was competitive to something like the Wii U.

Trust me, you may not understand it, but ms isn't stupid, they know the possibilities. Watch this space 0_o
