Check the frontpage, X1 outsold PS4 by more than double in the US and it will continue like this from now on as I have predicted.


Why do you do this to yourself? You know MS released a price cut and several bundles with free games for that to happen, you know most people predicted a huge sales spike after hearing about these desperate move by MS,  you know gap in US sales won't mainting being like this after Sony applies similar holiday deals.


It will be maintained for a few weeks, the sales increases especially during holidays where X1 can sell 1 or 2 millions means it will outsell completely the PS4 in the US.

Oh right cause the PS4 will completely stop selling to a halt this holiday.

It won't triple their sales like X1 did, especially definitely not in the US.

don't forget US is FPS territory and X360 was FPS console.

many FPS fans still come from X360 background, and now with COD and Halo they migrate to X1

So PS4 has no game that campers to the US audience, and X1 will  therefore outsellf 3 to 1 the PS4 at least for another 3-4 months.

And because during holidays consoles sell in the order of millions, that means X1 will sell 2 million more than the PS4 and bring the gap to 0 and continue to outsell it globally from there (In the USA)

I haven't been following this thread but how can the XB1 sell 2 million more and bring the gap to 0? I'm confused here.

Bolded: How many PS4's do you expect to be sold in the next 3-4 months? And thus when multipled by 3 how many XBO's to be sold?

I don't see it personally. Did the 360 even manage to 3:1 the PS3 in USA ever?

The Drill thinks the 13.5m PS4 shipped by end of Sept - 'approaching' 10 million shipped a few days ago = 2m gap

I think he is talking about the US obnly.  But he is wrong.

About as wrong as most people who laughed at him on page 1 and said the ps4 would still obliterate the Xbox One in the US in November.

He can't be talking about the US only. If it sold 2 million more it would be 1 million ahead, not level.

Check frontpage numbers, X1 obliterated the PS4 in November. and by a great bunch.

Basically in 1 month X1 outsold 3 months of PS4 sales, since it outsold it 3 to 1

I am not wrong.

297,712:154,331 = 3:1? 

Oh, now I get it...

Once you've had a big dose of humility, I'm hoping you stop making threads like this. You seem to think Sony will just sit there and let MS have all the sales. Have you considered the GTA5 bundle or is that not part of your assessment? And do you think that the LBP3 bundle won't have any effect whatsoever, baring in mind that it broadens the demographic rather than just narrowing it.

MS are making exactly the same mistake they make every generation. They're targeting FPS fans, which is why games outside of that genre will always struggle to sell on the XB1. In the mean time, Sony are broadening that demographic, which is why a variety of games sell well on the PS4 (and sold well on previous consoles). It's not about hitting COD/GTA numbers, it's about offering a variety of games and opening up the platform for more interesting titles.

The XB1 just might close the gap slightly in these next two months but next year Sony will sell more yet again, as they always have. It's all well and good winning when you're dropping your price and giving away free games, but that's not sustainable in the long run and those shareholders will start getting vocal again.

It's starting to get to the point that he should just be banned for nonsense threads. It isn't clever, it isn't even optimistic based on a sliver of reality. It is literally drivel. It adds nothing to the community, it lacks logic. The poster is even starting to use the globally in the US thing tacked on to their posts which shows it isnt serious or well-reasoned. If people get moderated for quote trees I just don't see how a user with less than 300 posts, all consisting of vomit in text form is allowed to make threads consistently.
