pezus said:Retailers say that demand for Sony's PS4 far outstrips that for Microsoft's Xbox One.Published on Nov 26, 2013 According to a number of retailers, demand for the PS4 is outstripping demand for the Xbox One to a significant degree and, as a result, Sony is "winning the war". "Sony has definitely captured the hearts and minds of the independent sector," Game's Centre's MD, Robert Lindsay told MCV. "We’ve had fantastic support from CentreSoft and Sony for the PS4 launch, which has helped make it our biggest launch ever," Lindsay continued. That sentiment was backed by the MD of another independent retailer, Don McCabe of Chips, who said that PS4 orders are up five to one over the Xbox One. "They’re winning the war," said McCabe. "Sony has the enthusiasm and they want to be No.1". There have been reports, prior to the PS4 and Xbox One going on sale, that the PS4 was outselling the Xbox One in terms of pre-orders, as well as consumer polls that suggested the PS4 would indeed outsell its rival console. With the Xbox One now on sale worldwide and the PS4 available in the US and shortly to be on sale in the UK on 29 November, it now seems that those predictions are proving to be correct.
It will be interesting to see how Microsoft goes about trying to turn things back in their favour. http://www.nowgamer.com/news/2174398/ps4_winning_the_war_against_xbox_one_retailers.html |
I really don't give a flip who "wins", but making a statement like that 1 week into a 7-8 year "battle" is sheer ignorance. People who spend more time debating who's system is going to sell more units than actually playing video games is no gamer at all.
btw...again I don't care who "wins", but these are companies. Companies are in business to make money. From that perspective, Nintendo has had their competition beat every generation.
Stop hating and start playing.
