Why The Playstation 4 is Outselling The Xbox One.

It's pretty simple really and I understand some people just refuse to accept it but really it's just that the X1 is simply not a desirable console. Especially when compared to the PS4.

People seem to think that just by virtue of being an Xbox, it should be selling, but this isn't the case at all (see Wii U). It also needs to be desirable and honestly, outside NA there's zero reason why one would pick an X1 over a PS4. And in NA, the PS4 is overall more appealing hence it's doing better.

This 100%

X360 fans aren't waiting around for 3 games. They're picking PS4 every month over Xbox One.

Yup, which I find pretty weird. People easily accept that the Wii U isn't doing great because, well Nintendo seriously messed up with it. It's a great console, yes, and I love it but it doens't have mass appeal. Yet at the same time many of these same people (even after seeing the Wii U constantly outsell the X1), can't seem to accept the same thing for the X1. MS messed up, people don't want it. Throwing more Halo and Gears and Forza at the problem won't fix things because the people who would buy an X1 for those franchises either already have or were going to do so anyways. 

Like people saying Destiny will provide the X1 a boost. Yea, sure, it will but it won't be some massive push. There's no reason to get an X1 for Destiny unless you were planning on picking one up for Halo. My guess is, after the MCC comes out and the PS4 still blows the X1 out of the water, people will just regroup and start waiting for a price cut or for Halo 5, and when those fail they'll wait for Gears and so on so forth.
