I don't think all the negative press the Xbox One is getting on the internet is the reason the Playstation 4 is outselling the 

Xbox One.

I don't think it is the price either. I think even if the Xbox One lauched at $400 it would still be behind the Playstation 4

maybe by around 2 - 3 million units instead of 5 million.

Microsoft made the mistake that Sony did with the Playstation 3, thinking people would by the system at $500. 

I think many Playstation 3 owners are bored of their Playstation 3 and therefore wanted something new. (Playstation 4)

Xbox 360 owners on the other hand are still happy with their Xbox 360 and is waiting on certain games to come out before they make the

Jump to the next generation. (Call of duty: Advanced Warfare, Halo 5, Gears of War 4)

Titanfall did not make a big impact on console sales because Titanfall is new IP. So many people don't know about Titanfall to warrant a

purchase of the Xbox One. Titanfall is doing well though for a new IP and that is good to see. Over 2 million sold on Xbox One.

Even though Call of duty: Advance Warfare is on the Xbox 360. It is a true next-gen call of duty game (unlike Call of duty: Ghosts) and 

I believe many gamers will buy an Xbox One for this game come november.

So I think in november Xbox One sales will start to increase and finally start to outsell the Playstation 4 in America.

These are just my thoughts.

A couple of issues here.

1. how do you explain all of the crossovers? 1/3 PS4 owners didn't have a PS3. That's 3.3 million consoles which is a lot compared to the 5 million total Xbox Ones.

2. PS3 sales are still really strong. Actually, so far in 2014 the PS3 has outsold the Xbox One (2.126 million vs. 1.984 million).
