Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox One will now sell as many units as PS4, says Pachter

Camera makes some people paranoid... Myself included.
Some people wont trust microsoft anymore for even trying to do what they did in the first place.
It's still an extra hundred dollars for something a lot of people don't want (Kinect).
You still can't swap hard drives.
DRM tech still exists within the console.
The console isn't as powerful as PS4.

So, I wont be one of those people. I wont ever get an Xbox one. I'll go from PS360 to PS4U next gen. It'll be the 1st nintendo console I'll ever own.

I think Sony will have the price advantage this whole gen. The Kinect is part of the 3-layer OS in the Xbox One so removing it and selling XB1 for $399 isn't an option for Microsoft. I just hope Sony takes advantage of this. Bring the marketing. Bring the games. These console wars are going to be exciting!



Does he mean globally or in Nth America? If he means globally I don't see it. Also MS won't drop the price if they are selling in the same ballpark as PS4. It'll only be if XB one80 is selling at 50-60% of PS4 that they will drop the price out of desperation.

So are they back on track to sell close to half a billion consoles. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/05/24/microsoft-over-1-billion-next-gen-consoles-will-be-sold



Conclusion: Xbox One is now officially doomed.



Around the Network

Lets do a little math here. 360 had a 5-7million lead on PS3 for the first 1.5year. That lead was completely closed and surpassed. If The consoles had came out at the exact same time and nothing else changed, PS3 would have had a 7mill+ LEAD on 360. If it had of had the same head start? 14mil+.

If track records have shown anything, it is that the PS brand has far more selling power than Xbox does. Without a lead OR a price advantage seeing as PS4 is cheaper......its still in the bag for Sony.

xbox one will never sell better then ps4. xbox one will only lunch in 21 countries and will sell most of its units in north america. Ps4 will sell good around the world and even in asia and south america like the ps3 is performing right now. And for this generation ps3 has always been a more expensive console then 360 and lunched a yaer later but still managed to sell better by today.



Jinx prediction!!! D:



It will match it in America. Maybe even beat it if supply is there.

Worldwide though? Not even close.



                            

PS4 will most likely sell a little better worldwide but Xbox One will sell much better in the USA which is the only thing that matters to me. I'm not playing games against people who live across the ocean.
