Forums - Sales Discussion - Can Xbox One come Close to PS4 this Holiday??

Nope, even if it gets somewhat close in the US or UK, it's going to get steamrolled WW.

I think it'll do less this Nov+Dec than it did last year. Why? Pretty simple, while sales may increase somewhat in NA, they're going to decrease everywhere else compared to last year when it had the front loaded launch. As for PS4, it shpuld have a bigger Nov+Dec sincr there won't be any stock issues and is now solidly the "it" console to have.

 

FH2 means nothing in terms of moving systems and the X1 beating the PS4 for one week in the UK is irrelevant (and what force PS4 price cut are you talkong about?)

So yes, not a chance the X1 gets close. MS could drop the price by 50 and it still wouldn't get close. Hell, they could drop 100 and it still would not outsell the PS4 overall (WW)



Around the Network

In no way has Microsoft's advertising been better than Sony's so far this gen. The rest of what you said is just picked and chosen from various places as per usual.

Made up China and Russia numbers.

X1 beating PS4 one week in the UK as a long term sign, rather than what it is, a boost thanks to a game and a third price cut.

And then the pick of the bunch. Kinect will boost sales. The camera so popular MS took just half a year to go back on their countless promises about how important it was.



North America/UK sure. The xbox could very well be number 1 sellin system in November for those regions.

World Wide? Not even a chance. Even during the 360 years the xbox was never able to keep up to the PS3 worldwide



Because cutting the price of X1 always helps immensely.

Even if it beats PS4 in US and UK, that's not nearly enough to match the gap in the rest of the world.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Facts:

-Xbox One is beating the PS4 in the UK right now forcing Sony to cut the price of their console.

You heard it here first homies, Xbox One will pull similar numbers to PS4 this holiday! I think the ratio PS4 to Xbox One will be 1.2:1

"Sales of Microsoft’s Xbox One edged past PS4 this week" despite the heavy marketing campaign.



Don't copy random editorials.

Sure why not? Unless you believe the sony honks and feel like the ps4 is God's gift to humanity and can cure cancer and the Xbox One is the equivalent to an Atari 2600.

It pulled ahead for one week. PS4 is still ahead lifetime.

-Xbox One had a successful launch in China and looking to have 100k+ opening week.

We should wait for official numbers from Microsoft first(they'll likely have a press release if it launched well)

-Xbox One will have more than 15K opening week in Russia

Whoop-dee-doo

-Forza horizons is a great game!

Sure. Doubt it'll be much of a system seller though with the game being on 360. 

Speculation:

-Sony had their biggest game come out already (Destiny even though its on Xbox One), while Microsoft still has Forza, Sunset Overdrive bundle, Call of Duty Bundle, Assassins creed unity marketing, and Halo!

Sony will also have bundles for GTAV and Driveclub. 

-The gap in the USA isn't that big and still can go either way.

It's pretty big given the current lifespan for both consoles. 

-Despite the PS4 bundle the Xbox One is still close to PS4 in USA

What are you talking about? The Destiny bundle only launched this month and we have no idea how it sold. Wait until NPD to see how the consoles did in September.

-Xbox One could pull ahead of PS4 if Microsoft cuts the price of Xbox One by 50 dollars

Possibly. Though the massive bundling with all the free games still hasn't pushed them ahead. Sony has yet to start bundling games for free.

-Microsoft now owns minecraft so maybe the only physical release will be on Xbox One

They haven't said anything about cancelling the PS4 release. 

-Microsoft Advertises better

Actually Sony has been doing a much better job with marketing this gen. My opinion of course.

Kinect will boost sales (even if it may be small)

No it won't.

Broke it down piece by piece. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Are you on about WW sales, because common sense just says no.



You know, I find it funny how whenever the X1 has one non terrible week, a of a sudden they're poised for a comeback, Sony is screwed, and evwryone starts bring up dat MS war chest. Looking at the Neoaf thread for this and man, so much delusion. Some peope being so hyperbolic, talking about how Sony is on the brink of death. Haha. (At least
, on GAF. Seems much more reasonable here)


Price isn't the only issue either, people just don't want X1s as much as they want PS4s.
