Forums - Sales Discussion - X1 is putting up a fight in the US and the UK and it's very competitive there, might win those regions

the X360 was very strong in the US and the UK last generation.

This generation the X1 is extremely competitive in those regions, and has even managed to outsell the PS4 a few times there,

most recently  in the UK lats week.

Now in the US Ps4 sold only  20 % more

Which is by far something remarkable, and the tides can turn at any point.

In the UK the PS4 sold a bit more total, 35 % more than the X1.

The thing is X1 managed to double its sales in the US and UK by having a price cut and unbundling kinect.

Now in the UK thanks to Fiafa bundling it is outselling the PS4.

Now Microsoft's strategy last generation was to buy a lot of exclusives, they can easily replicate this strategy this generation and have X1 outsells PS4, even globally.

This generation is far from over  and the next big exclusive will show this.

Based on my calculations if the X1 sales double in the US it only needs 16 weeks to match PS4 total sales

In the UK it only needs 17 weeks to do the same.

If Microsoft turns this arround, it needs very little time to catch up with the Ps4 in the US and the UK.

In the UK it apparently only beat the PS4 in one week by about 800 units, and then the week later it was back selling less...

It's not the odd moment that the XBO is above that you should be focussing on, but a constant  number of weeks/month where its beating it. Until it does that, then there is no turnaround of fortunes. Xmas will show what the future state of the XBO might be like I feel.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

PS4 already is selling better in UK again by a good margin.

And US September will be the biggest gap in sales since last year... it will be 200-300k diffference in PS4 favor.



Just have to ask are you calculations based on only the XB1 increasing? So the Ps4 will have to remain where it is? So what if the PS4 also increases in sales? Lots of ways this could go......oh and I thought this was going to be a Jega thread



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Glad to see you back!



         

Clearly Microsoft will make all these big moves and Sony will just sit back and do nothing.

He says MS can just buy a ton of exclusives and that will make them win globally.
