UK, USA and Canada says hi.

UK will help Xbox One get closer in sales to the PS4.

While USA and Canada Xbox One outells the PS4.

This is what happened with the Xbox 360 and I predict the same thing will happen to Xbox One despite all the negativity.

People forget the Xbox 360 also had negativity. People quickly forget people were calling the generation to the PS3 before the Xbox 360 

even launched.

Looks like the same thing to me this generation.

Yeah people thought the PS3 would win that's based on the best information they had on past trends at the time, which is how most people make predictions of the future, but once the first sales strted it was obvious that the situation of the PS2 would not be the same with the PS3.  What you're doing right now is being a PS3 fan of those times saying "anytime now the PS3 will start dominating just like the PS2, remember how well that did in Japan and the US?  Well anytime now the 360 will be out of its hardcore purchases and then things will continue as they did last gen."  

When you're starting a new generation it makes sense to base your predictions off the last generation because that's the most current trends you have, but once the generation starts you do not continuously go back to those past generation trends as though they'll start any day now.  There is no reason based on information from the current generation's sales to think that anything you've said will come true.  Yes, it could, but that's the weakest argument you could possibly have.  A meteorite could fall on Sony HQ tonight and WiiU takes the place of PS4 as the defacto console for the generation, but it almost certainly won't, and making predictions based off things that you want to happen with your only defense being that they technically "could" is the worst way to do it.  

If anything the last 4 generations taught me and should teach all of us is that nothing is guaranteed no matter what things look like.

Sony came out of nowhere and beat the Sega and Nintendo with Playstation.

Microsoft came out of nowhere and marginally beat Nintendo with the Gamecube. The Xbox would have sold more if Microsoft 

didn't stop making them.

The Wii sold the most consoles last generation, and Xbox 360 pretty much tied with the PS3.

What will happen this genertion no one truly knows, the only thing we all know for sure is the the PS4 is in the lead right now.

 

The Plot Thickens, LOL!
