can someone explain why ps4 got a boost an x1 did not ?


Thank you! reason why i think its way overtracked. Look at the sales comparison software wise pretty close in numbers but one gets a huge and doesnt Hmmmmmm?


PS4 version is superior, added content, exclusive marketing, and has both an install base and sales rate advantage. Easy to see the win.

As for VGC, PS4 is always slightly undertracked or nearly on target for 2014. XBO is regularly overtracked, sometimes by HUGE margins. We may well see the PS4 numbers stick within single digits, and see XBO numbers from NPD show that VGC OVERtracked XBO (yet again). THAT would be hilarious.

Then again, maybe VGC simply figured out how to fix the formula, and these XBO numbers are right on the money.

Either way, there's no reason to believe that XBO should be doing better than it is. Every angle on this has advantage : PS4 in spades. By the time Destiny comes along it will be even more dire for XBO.
