As I said on my stealthly edit post: "We people here have a tendency to mix WW sales with NPDs". To be clear and for the sake of my argument, the 1/3 part is sole from USA. My point is, Neogaf has a 90+ page thread of people glooming doom for a 60k lead and a overall lead of 400k(?) as if Microsoft had no way in hell to overcome this and the situation for the next, let say, 8 years os setled in stone. Sory if I think this prediction is laughable. The situation is exactly as one would expected when you put two similar products which one is cheaper than the other. I was tired to face threads here where I said: "The Xone will sell 20% to 25% less than the PS4 as long the price is 25% more, any thing more than that is a victory for such a hated console". The people I faced, many of which are constantly banned by now, were the one saying "no one want to buy a XOne" or PS4 will outsell the XOne 3 to 1 or 5 to 1... those guys are still on NeoGaf. The WW part, well, look at sales figure from the last 2 or 3 years. The PS4 is seling almost at the same pace as the PS3 and the same is true for the XOne/360. |
The posts you quoted both talked about the PS3 recovering worldwide, not just in one country. The "glooming doom" isn't about 60k in a vacuum. It is about that lead in what is supposed to be one of the XOne's strongest countries in a month with a major release that was bundled and saw price reductions. An XOne and Titanfall were actually cheaper than a PS4 and Infamous at multiple retailers last month.
Can you point to which guys here or on GAF expected a 5 to 1 ratio in favor of the PS4 in the USA? Especially post DRM reversal. I feel like the majority of the time I see that it is people defending XOne sales, and the ratio always seems to go up.
Also the 360 sold a lot more Jan-Mar the previous 3 years than the XOne has this year. Not sure what you are talking about there. Seems weird that your original post was lamenting people on GAF spouting BS when almost all the numbers you've been posting are wrong or misleading.
