yes there are going to be a handful of people who wander into GameStop and have no idea what Xbox is what come holiday season but I promise these are the same folks who ask for "the new game console" for their kid and don't *really* know which console is which anyway

so much of the time when Twitter hones in on some kind of "problem" with games in general and yells en masse about how it will destroy sales etc etc the problem actually affects such a small number of people that it will never make a dent in sales ever

see also: Pokemon SwSh "boycotts," TLOU2 leaks, Nintendo DS naming conventions (which were bad yes but clearly stopped no one) and so forth

sorry one more tweet: I think sometimes the stuff that falls into this category actually can be a real problem (i.e. when a company or dev is revealed to be SCUMMY) but to say these things have a strong impact on sales is almost never true

Also this doesnt mean the number of Xbox Ones X's sold is actually a lot. I think it's fair to assume the Xbox One X didn't sell more than a few thousand units last week on Amazon (if that), so a 7x increase in sales from last week, compared to the millions of pre orders.

I did consider this -- I think it still probably had somewhat of a spike because if you look at the rankings it's sitting (at this precise moment) between AC Valhalla steelbook and Cyberpunk for XB1, which seems a bit high given the current situation
