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

Call of duty xb1 bundle will save it



Around the Network

Who even cares if the Xbox One out sells PS4?

Surely. Making money off it has of course some relation to sales but not necessarily tells us the whole story.



I wish i could find that xbox fanboy topic. He was so happy that xbox won this week and saying the battle would start now!

I feel bad for all those people that just yesterday were partying hard because xbox one supposedly outsold ps4 for one week...well, actually I don't. Backlash well deserved.

China. 100k+ pre-orders thus far.

But, yeah, it's more about proving to shareholders that the XBOX division can and will turn a profit even in the circumstances where it is not the market leader.


Any source for that 100k preorder number? Playstation is far more popular in China too.

Microsoft doesn't want to "survive" in the video game space they want to dominate.

The shareholders will not tolerate the game division coming 2nd 3 times in a row if the sales don't pick up I expect xbox one to be discontinude or the whole division sold off by mid 2016.

Steve Ballmer saw Microsoft through record profits every year and they still got rid of him for 'underperforming'.



That's because most tier 2 countries in Europe already had the console. Belgium is tier 2 but we had the Xbox One readily available before the PS4 stock issues were resolved
