Forums - Sales Discussion - Pachter: PS4 half a million ahead of Xbox One in the US during November

People like to give Ethomaz crap on every prediction, but he seems to be right most of the time.

So 1 week sales vs 2 week sales is not that good of an indicator. The PS4 should be leading with a 1 week head start. Question is come spring who will sell more? Sony has no major multiplayer titles launching anytime soon so MS should see a spike around March(Titanfall) when those tax returns start rolling in. Yes I know they have DriveClub and Infamous, but even with what 60mill consoles on the market Infamous averages like 2.5 mill in sales and nobody knows if DriveClub will be good.

You can use Week 1 PS4 vs November Xbone to be "more" fair

Except if you allign the launches Ps4 is still leading. in MS strongest territory... titanfall is not going to have much of an effect like 100 cheaper will. Ps4 has a tonne of multiplats and exclusives for 2014.

 

No one knows how good ttianfall will be either. new IP mp onliy is going to limit it's appeal and it's on 360 and PC.

Why are you derailing the thread with your nonsence? Don't comment when you have nothing of worth to add to the discussion.

Also refrain from attacking the OP if you don't want to be reported.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

patcher number are rarely all that close...

i expect, at least with the ps4, VGCz numbers are close. that 2.1M announcement pretty much locks in the numbers pretty tight. ioi has all the info he needs to have get pretty damn could tracking on that.

xbone,.. not so sure. less info and really hard to tell. NPD will be interesting. if patchers numbers are even close xbone had a much worse black friday than we predicted.

Well VGC have 300k in US for Xbone... seems a bit high but I think the first weeks is a little high too (~100k).

The issus will be that NPD tracks the two weeks combined so we won't know if the numbers are right or wrong for the separeted weeks but only for the sum of two.

Is there a reason why you always present your opinions as facts?

No drug references please!



Pachter is now a reliable service when it suits peoples bias: confirmed.

OT: I don't think the gap will be that high. Anything up to 250-300k sounds more reasonable.
