Forums - Sales Discussion - So XBO didn't manage to outsell PS4 with launch in Japan and 2nd tier EU countries...What Next?

Sales did increase and I believe that past week on the charts was not counting the other countries that were left.

Kowen is 95%? Also I'll need a link to where he stated that Xbox One would outsell the PS4 with Japan and tier2 countries. 

It's a given.

I know it's not exactly what you were asking for, but shows how he was thinking before launch.  I'm sure if we did some digging we could fine plenty of posts by members who thought it was only because of the price and/or the number of countries the system was in.  And after a price cut and being available the One's sales would dramatically rise.  In fact, I know there are plenty, as I posted in quite a few of those threads.


Why don't you ask him about his great analysis of PS4 not having a change to outsell X1 in USA and UK because PS3 were being outsold by X360?

You mean left by countries that had not launched until Sep 6th sure, why would they count consoles that haven't been sold in countries that hadn't been launched (the ones in imports and grey market were already counted in other countries of course).

If you mean that some countries that had launch before Sep 6th but wasn't counted I think it is quite hard that they weren't accounted, but surely there is a big possibility of the numbers being wrong as usual. The only way to know for certain is with VGC Pro that you can see individual countries, or asking ioi and praying for him to be available to give some tidbits on this.

Nothing they can do will make it outsell the ps4 for more than a week or two.



Minecraft 2 console exclusive on xbox one will do wonders for the game system. I think that will be the best chance for Microsoft's xbox one to outsell ps4.

So what will be the next excuse for XBO start outselling the PS4? H-MCC? Sunset overdrive? New globaly in China release seems promising, but you think it will be enough? XBO has yet not outsold PS4 in a month WW, when will it take the throne or will it ever achieve that?


That discussion will only be over in 2015 when Sony releases their big titles.

Given Minecraft 1 didn't keep the PS3 from catching up to the Xbox 360, not sure Minecraft 2 (the very name depresses me a little,) is going to herald a triumphant return. o.o That's even assuming Microsoft made that purchase solely to push its platforms, and doesn't want to make a profit as well; the likelihood of Minecraft 2 and associated titles making back that two and a half billion, let alone more, drops significantly if the games only become available on Microsoft platforms.

Actually he avoids them by not coming back or answering.
