Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Will Xbox One overtake PS4 lifetime consoles Sales in North America?

Yes, with a simple price drop.

Last week the XBONE was most likely overtracked and the PS4 undertracked.

Come adjustments and the PS4 will probably have won that week too.


Also at the overall question, not any time soon. If Titanfall does great, the earliest I could see it happening is this holiday.



Not happening. You expect TF to increase X1 sales by 5 times? Yea, no. The X1 might do 250k for all of March though and then drop back in April, while the PS4 continues selling. Whether or not the X1 comes on top in March NPD is dependent entirely on how much PS4 stock is available.

Globally i expect the same situation that ps3/360 had in 2013.PS4 dominating globally but Xone sellling better on USA.

I guess Xbone won't win any single importante region like EU, US and JP.

Nope, I don't even think the Xbone will beat the PS4 in March in US.


March NPD will indeed be very intereting.

In NA : it will be a battle between PS4 and XOne.
In Europe : PS4 dominance.
In Japan : PS4 dominance.
In the Rest of the World : PS4 dominance.
In the Global : PS4 dominance.

Easy as that, without even thinking.

After this week I think everything is possible! with a drop of the price actually might have a chance. Europe, Japan and rest of the world, doubtful.



I don't see XBO turning the corner that quickly. Sony is no longer stock pilling for a major territory, so we should see higher weekly sales this month than we did in January and early February. I think Sony will put more consoles in battleground regions (USA/UK) and assure a win for the month of March in both places.

Like I said in another thread. I think Microsoft's only chance is to market it very heavily in America were kids will see it as the cooler option. Then come the holiday months they will make massive gains. Other than that I expect the same trend we saw in the PS360 era where informed year round shoppers choose PlayStation.

One big factor will be how well games stack up this holiday performance wise. Thanks to social media Kids are quite well informed. If we see lower resolutions and more framerate issues again this holiday on XBO, facebook, and twitter will kill any marketing MS does.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Lifetime? Maybe. This year? Going to be tough.
