Um ...a thread on something that is not even confirmed? ROFL. One week is irrelevant anyway and this is only in the UK. No official data,but praises are being singed.

Nice first post.


Thanks.I am not the SkillMaster for nothing.

No fanfare from me. I only want the X1 to be competitive so I can get a cheaper PS4 when I go to buy one . I would bet there source is someone they always use from someone at GAME HQ who has access to all the Chart-Track numbers.

Lol, you say that as if Sony would NEVER drop the price if it weren't for competing consoles.  The PS1 and PS2 dominated, yet Sony still dropped the price when it was appropriate.

Of course they'll drop the price. They just might drop it faster

Maybe.  I think they will have a $50 off black Friday bundle this year.  Not sure if they have an equivalent in the UK, though.  I'm guessing they would probably match a permanent $50 pricecut if MS did one.  Of course, I think that will be coming next year, regardless.



Difficult to say much without actual numbers. This percent thing is usually dubious.

I think this is the beginning of a turnaround for the XBONE in the UK and U.S and if anyone can do it Microsoft can with all its endless money and marketing might. I think many fanboys are going to be upset come Master Chief Collection week of sales and onwards leading into the holiday period.

I agree with that 100% but it won't be the fanbase you think about.


If it has matched ps4 in the UK this week without an exclusive then what is it that you know that would suggest it won't outsell ps4 on a weekly basis following MCC release and other exclusives such as COD content, Sunset Overdrive, now that we have good marketing and a price cut. Expect more of this. Microsoft are getting serious 😉


LOL at sunset overdrive being a system seller...What happpened with titanfall??? It outsold ps4 1 week... What happened after that 1 week? You act like only MS has exclusives, bundles, marketing and price cuts. Your posts are nothing but fantasy.. There is NOTHING biogger in europe and UK then fifa, and if this is true it BArely outsold ps4 1 week with a cut and bundle......It will go back to being outsold weekly like it did with titanfall.  MS is getting serious...and sony is not??? They were not seriosu before??? They will get outsold most weeks in the UK and US..even Xbox outsold ps2 some weeks. Youtr posts are the typical fanboy overreactions based on 1 single week we see all the time. MS has nothing bigger then fifa in the UK....and it barely outsold ps4 1 week, barely and will go back to being outsold weekly.


Judging by the several typos and the tone in your response you seem to have composed this response with a degree of haste and that you may be genuinely upset with my response and the fact that Xone outsold PS4 this week. It is fanboys like you that predicted that XONE would never outsell PS4 for any weeks in the UK..ever. Guess what... it did and it will happen more often and increasingly. Price cut and and endless money for Marketing goes a long way. Watch this space.... don't get angry with me now lol😜

LMAo how ironic...Please show me 1 poster who said x1 wont outsell ps4 a single week ever??? I am waiting.  Sony will cut the price as well in fact they jatched the x1's fifa bundle already...sorry, but this is no diff then titanfall wekk....it will get outsold again most weeks. X1 won't have a price cut and a fifa bundle every week.

 

Calling people fanboys is a bannable offense, third time you did this already.. Again your the typical over react poster based on a single week, you will look foolish that's up to you. bet you said the same thing titanfall wekk right??? What happened after titanfall? What happened after kinectless week?

 

Even xbox outsold ps2 some weeks=, what did that accomplish??? X1 will not catch up to ps4 , your entire posts is wiushfull thinking and not fact, as if MS is the only company to advertise, do bundles and prive cut/

 

 

You also have no clue how business works, if MS had endless money to pur into xbox that sees minimal profits why is x1 still 399?? Why did they lose every gen??? MS money is not Xbox money. Been hgearing that since xbox oroginal days, you dilusional if you think MS has an endless money pit to throw into xbox which is a miniscule part of there business

So if you say that you never said that the XBOX One would ever be outsold in any given week then why are you getting hot under the collar and quite aggressive when someone expresses an opinion that it will happen increasingly as Microsoft ramps up its efforts in the UK and the U.S following the success this week,  And certainly if you think that Microsoft are not going to put a great deal of effort (including Marketing and money) to continue supporting the console this way then Sir... You do not know how business works.  Your assumption is that Microsoft is just going to sit idle and continue to let its competition walk all over them...That is not how business works either.   Another thing, you completely ignore is that XBOX head Phil Spencer has made it clear and in no uncertain terms that he is fully committed to making XONE competitive with a view to win. CEO Nadel is also committed to the console and has said as much for gaining traction with the cross device strategy Microsoft has with phones, tablets, PCs and tablets. Now winning globally is a hard task and will most likely not happen but taking back the U.K and the States is very possible and in fact likely..To this end it is clear that most x360 console owners in these territories have still yet to upgrade and latest U.K FIFA sales show this.  Xbox 360,- a 10 year console still selling software at strong levels and nearly on par with the PS4 version. That is amazing in itself. FPS games also still sell big on the 360 as you will also note on the UK charts. The same cannot be said about the PS3, the owners of which are moving over to PS4 in bigger numbers and at a faster rate.  With continued marketing Microsoft will be working hard to get these people (360 owners) to upgrade.  The FIFA fact I pointed out along with this weeks higher sales demonstrates this.  And all this without a major release such as Halo MCC this week, -this is a major feat.. Lets wait and see what happens when it does release...Oh and in relation to Titanfall, this was released way too early in the cycle to have any real effect.  And don't even start comparing the enormity of Halo with Titanfall.  Lastly, I think you sir are at greater risk of looking foolish as you are dead certain that XONE will never overtake PS4 in the UK and U.S.  The other way you make yourself look foolish is by the very aggressive and defensive tone.  I also had to laugh when I read your comment about me using the term fanboys. Yes I did use the term however you also are user of this term. In addition to sounding hypocritical...your haste and anger is still very evident in your post. See below quote from yourself :))

Anyhoo mate...Nice chatting with you!

It is still a rumour and we already get this much happiness... I guess we can paste this thread to prove that X1 fans still care about sales... and that is another one for the graphics.

Using VGC numbers for the week of 20th and the percentages in the article

we get

XB1: 22.400
PS4: 22,320

An even smaller lead than i thought (if the 20th Sept VGC numbers are correct, needless to say...)

I said the lead would not be bigger than 1k and even with a margin of error from VGC i'm probably right.
