Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why The Playstation 4 is Outselling The Xbox One.

I don't think all the negative press the Xbox One is getting on the internet is the reason the Playstation 4 is outselling the 
Xbox One.
I don't think it is the price either. I think even if the Xbox One lauched at $400 it would still be behind the Playstation 4
maybe by around 2 - 3 million units instead of 5 million.
Microsoft made the mistake that Sony did with the Playstation 3, thinking people would by the system at $500. 
I think many Playstation 3 owners are bored of their Playstation 3 and therefore wanted something new. (Playstation 4)
Xbox 360 owners on the other hand are still happy with their Xbox 360 and is waiting on certain games to come out before they make the
Jump to the next generation. (Call of duty: Advanced Warfare, Halo 5, Gears of War 4)
Titanfall did not make a big impact on console sales because Titanfall is new IP. So many people don't know about Titanfall to warrant a
purchase of the Xbox One. Titanfall is doing well though for a new IP and that is good to see. Over 2 million sold on Xbox One.
Even though Call of duty: Advance Warfare is on the Xbox 360. It is a true next-gen call of duty game (unlike Call of duty: Ghosts) and 
I believe many gamers will buy an Xbox One for this game come november.
So I think in november Xbox One sales will start to increase and finally start to outsell the Playstation 4 in America.
These are just my thoughts.

Um... why the assumption that more people are happier with their Xbox 360s than PS3s? o.o I mean, the exclusive titles aren't nearly as numerous on the 360, haven't been for years, so unless the reason is that 'More Xbox Users Just Play Call of Duty All Day' or something similar, can't really see your reasoning.

"I think many Playstation 3 owners are bored of their Playstation 3"

 

( Dated list some games are missing, maybe )

Globally in America ?



That doesn't explain the converters.

Even though I think you're trying a little too hard I gotta give props to your limitless endurance. Just promise me that the quote below is your own belief and not you buying all the bs pr from Microsoft stating the same. :S Studies show that a lot of Xbox 360 owners have bought a PS4..

"Xbox 360 owners on the other hand are still happy with their Xbox 360 and is waiting on certain games to come out before they make the jump to the next generation."



What a dumb thread, the ps3 is still outselling the x360, what's the excuse for that, ps2 owners more bored than xogie owners?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I could use the same argument for PS4 (Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, GT7, The Order 1886, LBP3). And as you might notice, the 3 games you mentioned are all in a similar genre, thus have a similar target audience.



The PS3 has had way more exclusives than the 360 in recent years and therefore 360 owners are more satisfied with their console, dat logic.
