Well it is cheaper....a huge factor.
It did launch earlier....not that much earlier but still
and most importantly. It launched in a lot of more countries so it should have more sales.

US:

PS4	59,085	(+2%)	2,263,631
XOne	49,809	(-11%)	2,117,358

UK:

PS4	17,547	(-15%)	627,008
XOne	8,922	(-16%)	426,152

Germany:

PS4

7,359

(-29%)

295,531

XOne

2,987

(-24%)

146,654

France:

PS4

11,704

(-6%)

286,304

XOne

3,583

(-4%)

144,741

Clearly the most important reason for the PS4 outselling the X1 is the extra countries it's released in.

So in this chart you're telling me a cheaper priced console is outselling a higher priced console? 

O_o 

People love buying cheaper items??? Thats a shocker..

PS3 sales was better than X360 sales same with a higher price, it's the difference...

Higher price? 

Last time i checked they are both the same price. 

Not now but between 2006 and 2011.

 

if I remember correctly in 2007: Jan-July: PS3: $600 X360: $400

                                                         August-December PS3: $500 X360: $350

The gap was larger than the gap between XB1 and PS4.

The gap started getting smaller after the price cut. I remember when the ps3 was reduced to $300 and the gap was still big. Then the price came down to $250. They both have been outselling each other but sometimes it was vice versa. Same way as this gen so far. The xbox one outsold the ps4 in the us during november and december even after the higher price tag.
