The original article even states that "But retailers have told MCV that PS4 remains in control, and that Xbox’s recent success has been aided by shortages of Sony’s console."

That was weird reading the original link, which was an article quoting what the original article said.


Not sure about this.  They are reading minds arent they?  They are assuming the if someone cant find a PS4 they will buy a ONE.  Thats interesting and means my thread of 13 v 33 had a great deal of merit.

In that recent thread tough many people said that it didnt matter. Nobody who wants a PS4 would buy a ONE due to stock shortages of the PS4... they woud simply wait.

So which is it?  Are PS4 sales being lost to the ONE due to shortages or arent they?   If they arent then why are the sales levels of the ONE being aided?


The Xbox One's current price is very competitive to the PS4 and there is more value in it (with Kinect and a game included). It would make sense that if someone that wants to buy a console (not a person dead set on a particular one), and one is in stock- he'll purchase it.

It can also be that people that want a PS4 can't get one, while people that want an Xbox One can easily get one. Naturally, the sales of the Xbox One would be greater than the PS4.
