You shouldn't do drugs. Drugs are bad m'kay.



I am more than interested to see where this thread goes...

OT: I think that TheDrill may not be too far off in saying that the XB1 can match the sales of the PS4 in the US and UK. Globally, it will have to have China all to itself for the next year to have a chance...



It is near the end of the end....

I know what I am talking about, I did my research and calculations and I have masters degree.



Based on the fact that Xbox One has not been able to outsell the PS4 by double in any scenario I am not sure why anyone, even hardcore fans, could rely on this theory to elevate the platform to wins in the US or UK. I am certainly not one of these people that think the generation is already won but the PS4 lead is certainly on pace to the point where it may be insurmountable globally. The US and UK could still, in fact, be up for grabs. Still too early to really determine that. But, as the weeks go on it becomes more and more difficult.

Of course, based on your past posts, you already know all of this.

thank you.

Reasonable people always noticed that X1 is putting up a fight in the US and the UK and it's closer than people realize, especailly for 1 year of sales.

Moreover some exclusive X1 games outsold PS4 ones, and X1 software sales are really high, showing that X1 buyers are more loyal than PS4 ones.



Wait...

China is now the new US?



And Sony will do nothing to counter MS' moves....They are just going to sit back and let X1 catch up. Gotcha!

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

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


It's not that big of a margin, considerably lower than other regions


And yet still a bigger margin than the Xbox One was able to outsell the PS4 during that one week it outsold it. O.o if the PS4's margin of outselling its competitor in the UK isn't that big, then that one week of victory for the Xbox One is infinitesimally unimportant... Even if it hadn't, in the Xbox One's case, been just ONE week.

I will say, that you seem to be at least recognizing that worldwide the XB1 will be challenged for the life of the console.

I think that anyone here saying the the XB1 doesn't have a chance in the US or UK is just being bull headed.  Clearly, the US and UK market are willing to give the XB1 a chance.  The benefit the XB1 has is that when HALO 5 comes next year, a lot of the early 360toPS4 buyers may opt to come back to the fold to play it on the XB1.  That could be a huge difference in the Holiday 2015 period.

Dual conosle ownership was very common last gen, especially later in the cycle.
