Who's hating? I think Pachter is being reasonable with his prediction. I hope the Xbox One X sells 3 million or whatever this holiday but i just don't see it. I'm ready for Microsoft to take back the crown, then i can stop pretending that i want to game on PS4. I only do it because it's the most popular console. Having games to play is just a bonus.
I couldn't give two s***s if MS "takes back the Crown". I just want them to turn a profit so they can stay at least competitive and be a platform that 3rd parties want to develop for. A world where Sony goes unopposed is not a good one. Competition good
I suspect that the ONE X is gonna pull an "Xbox Elite Controller" and do much better than the downplayers expect, that's all. People dissing MS' press release about being their fastest ever are the "haters". Dismissive posts like 'people didn't really preorder before this generation' drive me to post my personal anecdote.
