I don't think too many people will argue that the PS4 will outsell the XB1 this holiday. The difference i would think is that it will be caused by hardware availability. I think both systems will essentially sell out through January. It seems pretty clear that Sony is way ahead of M$ as far as production goes.


Are you saying the Xbox One would outsell the PS4 if Microsoft could produce enough units and launch in as many countries as the PS4 will?

You're pretty consistent in your lack of comprehension and actually reading posts.    I clearly said that both systems will sell out through January.  It won't matter how many either produces.  So, if both had produced 3 million, then they both would have sold 3 million.  Did I ever say that the XB1 will outsell the PS4?  No, because both systems will be supply constrained.

What's your problem? I worded my question in a way so you wouldn't understand wrong, but it hasn't helped i see!

I was asking if you think MS could sell more consoles were supplies not a problem. In other words; SAY both companies succeed in producing, i don't know, 20 million units, which do you belive will sell more?

True, I was being overly defensive. 

If that somehow happened, the PS4 would probably sell 6-7 miilon to XB1's 5 million.  The price will have an impact much more come March when the casual buyers get into the mix.

No harm done man. I agree with your guess there.

I'm still wondering though what's REALLY behind this big demand, for both consoles? Is it because of the lackluster WiiU, is it because of the long life of this generation or has the gaming industry grown even more, despite contrary belive?

I'm betting it's a mix of multiple factors.
