Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS4 will beat Xbox One X due to price advantage, says analyst

Props for not click-baiting the thread by putting Pachter's name in the title.

Well played :)



Also because the PS brand is just much more appealing, diverse than the Xbox brand.



Hi

I think at some point the pro might replace the standard ps4 because its clearly been designed to be an upgrade at a reasonable extra manufacturing cost and those costs will come down making the pro a viable main model. The 'X' seems to be a very expensive to manufacture product and I can't see it taking that route at all. This time next year we might be in a situation of clearing out standard ps4 stock. I can honestly see a situation where there are 20 pro's for every 'x' sold. However this is all down to Microsoft pricing. I think they may be forced to take a loss on the console to compete and keep a healthy market share in the US, Canada, UK and Australia.

I think Pachter is known well enough around here that he doesn't have to be referred to as "analyst" in the title. In any case, it's not like the goal of the XBOX was to outsell the PS4, not even MS expects that (or at least they shouldn't be!)

The OP probably thoght not nearly as many people would click the thread if they knew it was patcher. I'm one of them anyway.

How can you not put Pachter in the title?

Because then people would know it`s a joke rather than just suspecting it

All of the joke is already in the title. Might as well spice it up a little.



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

There was one really good video I saw from Joraptor in which he discusses with another Youtuber about why Xbox is behind and how Sony is winning. To this day I think what the guest said is right on the nose and why Playstation continues to be the best. Playstation doesn't compete with Xbox, it competes with PC.

I have a Playstation 4. Even without having a 4k TV, I want to get A pro. I already have a pretty good PC(gtx 970 gigabyte, 8gb ddr4, i5-6600k, graphics card could be better but whatevs). Yet I'm still considering buying a PS4 Pro. Ps4 pro has the games to compete with high end hardware, Xbox doesn't. Xbox can't justify buyin a 4k console



Whatever they’re paying patcher it’s not enough.

If it said Pachter though I probably just wouldn't have bothered clicking.



WOAH, prediction of the century here folks./s
