Not surprising. Microsoft is very methodically making most of their stock available in the US, their best market. It's a great plan to become the clear market leader in the biggest gaming region, and then just get as many units as they can get in the other regions, over time.

This gets their foot in the door and ensures they get solid representation among third parties. As an Xbox One owner, I couldn't be happier that their strategy is working out for them.

It hasn't worked, yet, though.  Sony is still leading.  And really, MS has no other option, at the moment.  Even with plenty of stock for the One, and limited stock for the PS4, in the regions they are both in, Sony is trouncing them everywhere but the US.  Even if Xbox pulls ahead (we'll have to see how January goes to see normal sales out of holiday periods), they will probably only lead there by 1.2:1 when all is said and done.  That's not what I would call a clear market leader.

@ OP

Lol, at first I thought this was a thread by another user who was trolling you.  You got +1 respect from me for making this thread and eating the crow.

Promps to you etho. Those losers would never do the same whenever they're wrong. It takes a man to aknowledge something like this.

Did you want some special sauce with the crow?

I recommend this sauce, it's great on scrambled eggs:



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Eat some of this Crow


A crow over 25 is a crow too old for me. lol

Good job! Admitting your mistakes is a great thing to do. Now maybe hopefully you will make less bold and ridiculous predictions.
To be fair, from those pie charts, PS4 looks incredibly close to X1, so this prediction wasn't bad at all :) .

Given how close they were and how supply constrained ps4 was I think a small bite will do.

At least you have the balls to admit you were wrong. Unlike others here in vgchartz (hint:JL)

That is a great attitude Thomaz. I hope more people act like this in the future.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

Very honourable of you.

None of your infatuated detractors would do anything like this when proven wrong.

So kudos to you, Etho.

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.
