Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbone fails to outsell Ps4 despite biggest launch of year

Why would you be worried when you just sold 440k units in a one week?

I'm sure MS would love to be top dog, but I'm also sure they're happy with how X1 is selling. I think people quickly forget that the PS3 was the leading system (between it and 360) worldwide for pretty much all of last gen. You don't launch a year later and then surpass the competition, without outselling the competition.


Agreed.  They'd be worried if they were getting blown out in the US and UK.

Well, listening to these forums Xbox already won November NPD. I eagerly await the meltdowns if they dont.



MS shouldn't be worried at all. Sony isn't even trying but they are selling well because playstation has always been the biggest brand for consoles.

As long as XO does well in US, they are fine.



I think console wars gamers are more "concerned" then MS, Sony, or Nintendo.



When I think of X1 and PS4 this year the best analogy that comes to mind is the first Fast and Furious movie. Paul Walker has his first race with Vin Deisel and pre-maturely hits his NOS near the end thinking over confidently that he's going to win. Deisel smiles and knows Walker made a mistake and pushed to early.

X1 smiles
PS4 - "What are you smiling about?"
X1 -"Dude, I almost had you!"
PS4 grins - "You almost had me? You NEVER had me, you never had your car!!"

Where they are trying they won (US and UK), those are my thoughts on this matter.

buy doing so,it took a massive drastic approach that has already lost a ton of steam(temp(?) price cut and giving away free AAA gameS),just for a 2 week win.. it looks like the ps4 has alreay took back america in the 3rd week with doing absolutely nothing at all,like literally nothing



One guy is Sony fans the other guy are MS fans leading up to the pricecut and HALO LAUNCH.



Im shure with HALO 5 Xbone will jump in sales like crazy!

Obviously. 



For Sony this is a pay off.

It's the reward for taking every single region seriously and putting plenty of effort in many markets.

China is probably the only exception though.
