That's... not really saying much for the Xbox One though, man. o.O The Xbox One's sales that week were boosted by a bundle that had been pre-ordered for 2-3 weeks before getting released, and boosted by giving Madden away for free in a bundle. The PS4's sales, meanwhile, were hindered by having more and more people pre-order Destiny bundles in preparation for the game's release instead of buying a console outright (at around that week, the Destiny bundle began to chart above the PS4 on the hourly Amazon charts,) putting its bundle in the top 10, whereas the Xbox One's Sunset Overdrive and Advanced Warfare bundles weren't even in the top 125 in the hourly charts, meaning almost nobody is pre-ordering them in August. And yet despite all this, it only was able to outsell the PS4 by, what, 5000 units? With everything going for it, should've been MUCH bigger. o.o To put it another way. The Xbox One had brass knuckles, and the PS4 had one arm tied behind its back, and the Xbox One still could baaaaaarely beat it. Take away even one of those advantages, (such as by also counting Destiny bundle pre-orders are sales,) and the Xbox One'd likely just lose again. =P |
I am just responding to the other guy. In no way does the sales last week by means a celebration, I am just a little suprised it happened
a bit too soon.
