| Landguy said: I don't think that you studied the yearly surge that M$ sees in the November and December period. IF you have applied the same increase percentage to both the PS4 and the XB1, your data will be probably wrong. Historically, the 360 sales increased higher at christmas than the PS3 did by a decent margin. In almost every year, the PS3 outsold the 360 all year long and that was washed out by the 360's increase in sales at the holidays. M$ breaks the bank at the end of the year to get market/mindshare. With that in mind, I am not saying the PS4 won't outsell the XB1 handily, but I am saying that the market share percentage won't be as wide as it is today. |
The yearly surge isn't a characteristic for MS consoles. Holidays have more impact on the US. As the 360 was the dominant console there, it would pick most of the boost for itself. EU has weaker Holidays and Japan has almost zero effect. This year, PS4 and X1 are 50/50 there so both will have that going for them.
