Wow a 30% drop in revenue is quite something.
It's pretty late in its life, could be that anyone who would be a potential sale got one at this point? I remember that being, at the time, the reason for the sharp decline in Ocarina of Time sales in Japan, they effectively sold one to everyone who has an N64 so they "maxed out".
According this chart from Ars Technica the switch and ps5 were still growing during the same period so then the question would be why the number of Xbox potential buyers is so much smaller than the others.
Wow, this is a really horrible graph. Ars has no clue how to visually convey information.
Yeah I'm trying to look at this and understand almost anything from this and it's actually impossible.
Yeah I think they should’ve at least color coded each console with the companies color instead of picking arbitrary colors.
Any new purchasers (I am one) are also probably waiting for the mid-generation update coming later this year.
