In the UK & USA, ps4 is not outselling xbox one by that much weekly..i would not say they are "bad"..

ps4 is all over europe, xbox one is not.


"ps4 is all over europe, xbox one is not."

Do you think that is the XB1 was out "all over europe" that it would make much of a difference? I am asking because it just seems like the PS consoles sell better over there in general.

But I say the XB1 is not doing bad by any means. Better than the 360 at this same point at time and moving and selling faster than the Wii U(which even with more games AND a cheaper price can't outsell the PS4 or the XB1 which is crazy). So I am sure MS wants it to be selling better than it is but I do not think the XB1 is selling bad at all.....in UK and USA that is. When it releases WW in Sept we will get a clearer picture even though I do not think it will be a huge difference from what we are seeing now personally.

Xbox one is not doing too well in europe mostly because of the price. It's fact.

Are you seriously telling me if xbox one was sold in 54 countries. @399..it will have the same sale figures? o_0 

only  the delusional ones think that price and more countries won't have an impact



Praise the One.

Price cuts in the first 4 months after release can only mean the console is not gonna last long. I predict is going to be cut off by 2017, with a total abandoment of 1st party support starting late 2016.

Only delusional ones think that more countries, most of which have populations smaller than many US states, will have a big impact. The example I continually give is that yea, if you release in.....Costa Rica or Denmark, that's "more countries", but that's tantamount to saying "If the XBone releases in Massachusetts, sales will skyrocket!", and that's just silly.

And yes, price is indeed a factor (for any product), but that didn't stop the expensive PS3 from completely dominating Europe (over the 360). If it was possible for a €599 PS3 to outsell a cheaper 360, then don't blame price for the XBone selling so poorly there. Maybe Europe just isn't as receptive to the Xbox brand, period (like Japan).



Come on guys. Enough with the Xbox One/Wii U/PS Vita is doomed/going to be discontinued in 2017/lose all 3rd party support/etc.

Xbox One is selling very well in US and UK. I don't think the remaining markets where the Xbox One has yet to release will push more than around 15 extra ks a month but it certainly will help.

 

Even though I was a 360 only owner in the early PS3 days I thought it was ridiculous with all the "PS3 is under 100k.. IT'S DOOOMED!"-comments around the web.



XBO sales are fine, but yeah they could be better. First step should be to make that $50 price cut official and make sure a free game is always bundled with the console. That'll give them a good value proposition to keep them competitive with Sony.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

If being a couple hundred thousand behind PS4 in the US is 'depressing,' then why aren't PS4 owners depressed?



because they are not a couple thousand behind????



Xbox sales although not as good as ps4 are still very good. No concerns.

Sigh, you do know 500 unit in those little countries would add up in the chartz right?  Sigh..

Xbox One in US alone has more HW sold than 360 WW at the same time. Also it took Wii U a year to get to 4 million. Xbox One did that in 4 months while being $200 more. Xbox One is not doomed. Its just not selling what the PS4 is selling.


As a PlayStation fan. I love seeing your enthusiasm. Spinning info to suit your ego. Shikamaru too. You guys are Xbox lovers from the cradle to the grave. I'm just interested to know what it will take for Sony and PlayStation to CRUSH your enthusiasm? 

What does Shikamaru have to do with my post? As long as MS and Phil Spencer are supporting the Xbox One there's nothing Sony can do to "CRUSH" my enthusiasm. Did the Xbox 360 crush yours in the first year of PS3 sales?


I actually agree with you here you are excited for games offered on that system and nothing the competitor can do will change that especially not just simply selling more.

But this thread is about current sales.  So hypotheticals don't matter. Its not in 54 countries and its not 399.  Plus with the 20% boost other countries would give it, much wouldnt be changed.  They can still only produce a certain amount so more sells in the other 30 or so countries would mean less is US/UK.  Which is EXACTLY why Microsoft delayed the other countries.
